European imperialism was bad. Therefore any criticism of contemporary repression is support of historical imperialism. This is a non sequitur.

I think the suggestion is that some comments give the impression that the "natives" would be much better off under Western rule than under their own people's.

I can understand that this may pass off as supporting European imperialism, and even perhaps racism.

We can hope that China becomes democratic but that is an issue for the Chinese people.
