My last post on the topic (forgive me for the recent repetitive malding I'll shut up after this)
>spreads rumors about a Chinese diaspo being linked to the gov
>called out for conflating Chinese diaspo with gov, shown proof the accusations were false, this is correctly called sinophobia (which manifests as conflating rando Chinese esp diaspo w gov as one mindless entity)
>'but what about gov!!!!'
??? Truly harassing cn diaspo online and feeding violence against cn diaspo in English spaces and the virulent racism against Chinese and ppl who look like us in the west will get you so far politically, China cares so much about randos who don't even have Chinese passports! Bringing up the gov when you've been charged with racism against a Chinese individual translates to 'Chinese people are their gov and my racism against them and harm against them is justified because of it'. There's no other interpretation. You can say what you want, but your end point is that you are okay with and support Chinese diaspo communities facing racialized violence. The gov topic was laid to rest when your accusations were PROVED WRONG, unless you think Chinese diaspo should in fact have to answer for their gov based purely on race and dont get to protest when people spread provably false rumours about them. If you want to complain about depictions or politics you can do it without falsely implicating the Chinese person in question just because she correctly identified the provably flase accusations as driven by sinophobia, ie conflating her with a state she has fuck all to do with. Thanks! That's all.
