> I agree the jingoistic CCP-controlled Chinese media does not depict Americans or whites with respect and tact. That's a problem. But it doesn't make it OK for the American media to do the same.

The problem is that it's a zero sum game and who wins is just as important as moral correctness. If China is able to turn the narrative against the US and enable authoritarian regimes and censor US companies and tech, what does it matter if we're the "good guys"? If we lose a war of culture, will our children see ourselves as doing the "right thing"? History books are are written by the winners, after all.

Contemporary Chinese ideas would see your point of view as weak, just to put that in perspective.

International relations is a dirty world and the power struggle is real.

Agreed. You cannot win a war by never offending anyone. At some point you have to pick a side and fight for victory.
