I think there's a lot of confusion between opposing the CCP and racism against Chinese. I'm Chinese as well.

I think we can fight for more Chinese roles in films, politicians, scientists, CEOs, more representation in all fields. However, I don't see how your argument about it being okay to "cancel" because China is just cancelling 1% and America is 99%.

I'd also not prefer to live in a CCP-centric world where Chinese people are not allowed to tell the truth without fear.[1][2]

We should call out Guantanamo Bay as well as the Xinjiang re-education camps, Liu Xiaobo, not allowing Hong Kong elections. It doesn't make either right because of the existence of the other. However, I have no fear of speaking publicly about Guantanamo Bay and then traveling to the US. But I have to make sure I remove all my private chat messages if I ever mentioned about the Xinjiang camps. That's the CCP-centric world that I see.
