Consistent to that, I'd encourage people to use "The Chinese Government" rather than the more common "The Chinese" that English media loves to use when generalizing. Missing a single word makes it easy to blur the lines, e.g.:
"The Chinese are corrupt and never tell the truth."
"The Chinese are only good at at stealing and copying things."
"The Chinese cyber-threat ..."
On the other hand, I've noticed in Japan, even with the pervasive anti-China sentiment, news sources are keen to use "Chinese officials" or "China's central government."
