So, give any quote from the link or elsewhere that in any way shows the reasoning for this consideration is based on how much they don’t like Chinese people or how inferior they are as a race. People keep throwing around the racist label even when it’s absolutely clear that it’s not about race. It’s about the Chinese and Russian governments and how they operate. These are legitimate informational/operational security concerns that can’t be waved away with "well, it’s racist to protect ourselves, so we just won’t".

Have you ever thought that Russian government consists of Russian people? Same with Chinese

Yes, so? Nobody is concerned about the Chinese because they’re Chinese. Unless the CCP adopts principles like freedom of speech or other values that are foundational to Western countries, the CCP is forever going to be at odds with us. As long as they oppress their population and minorities and expand their influence on neighboring countries in undemocratic ways, and seek to extend that influence to the West, there’s a conflict. And the conflict isn’t race. It’s values. This tolerating undemocratic behavior because it might be intolerant only allows authoritarian regimes like the CCP to continue their spread.

It’s hilarious and depressing to see people using their freedom of speech to defend China, a place that suppresses any and all criticism in absurdly draconian ways.
