There is nothing wrong with being culturalist, to be so is absolutely not racist. A black, white, etc orphan child raised in communist China, would grow up in the same culture, with the same beliefs.

Those that decry 'racist', when one complains about China are indeed the true racists, for they think culture and race = the same thing.

They take it a step further by conflating the CCP with Chinese people, Chinese culture and the Chinese nation. This is a tactic I frequently see where proponents of the CCP seek to call any criticism or skepticism racist.
As an Israeli who is not very supportive of the Israeli government, I am very well familiar with this tactic.
