There has been a concerted campaign to paint China as the world's bogeyman mostly by the alt-right.

Topics such as BLM often involve whataboutism with many complaining about the lack of support for Hong Kong by supporters of BLM, see Senator Hawley's comments.

This is part of the coordinated anti-globalism, nationalist movement that Bannon and his cronies are promoting.

I am not convinced that they actually care about Hong Kong or the Uihgurs given how opposed they were to helping out the Syrian migrants.

China is doing some bad shit, but it's hard for me to judge them much more severely than any number of other countries.

I feel like you consider any criticism of the government which has Uighur muslims in camps, harvests organs from them, sells their hair as "hair extensions", bans blacks from restuarants as "alt-right". You are doing the very thing you accuse others of doing - making any criticism of China as an alt-right bogeyman.

I support criticizing and sanctioning China over the Uighur situation and HK.

What I don't support is when people use China as a tool to discredit movements like BLM because supporters aren't more broadly speaking out on injustices in other countries.

Bannon is strongly supportive of Russia even though the situation there is just as grim, see Chechnea, the loss of human rights for gays, and a Putin dictatorship of the country.

It's hard not to conclude that these criticisms are because China is a global economic power and a communist country.
