To be fair the US throws its weight around quite a bit on exporting its morality (human rights, democracy, freedom of speech, etc), and sometimes not to the best of results. I don't know if there's been any large political organization that wasn't super pushy about its world view. I think the issue is that its viewpoint is so different from America's. It's sort of like US politics, depending on who's in the white house the government can have a very different idea of reproductive rights, climate change, and religion/secularism. Those are big changes but China's morality is even more different. Suddenly criticizing the government is treated like hate speech.

  That's a great insight that almost no body in the world really notice: hate speech. Hate is a very good tool to consilidate public and create personal identity extreme efficiently. The technique is used by Hitler and also by CPP in early time maybe without rational calculation. After world war too hate speech is almost prohibited in all "civilized" countries. However there are 3 targets can be used without consequence: wall street bankers, politicians in Washington, rigemes usually are inferior in morality. The first 2 targets are virtual targets so they are used in election frequently. Not showing fighting spirit create personal identity by fooling people is a recipe for failure. Many politicians use the technique. Example: Rubio, Hillary, etc. China, Russia, are good target for boost support in election to show a fake hero image Hate is human nature from evolution because human , not like any other species, were evolved not only from other environmental pressure but also from war and killing each other. It boosts the fighting capability of a tribes and promote consolidation. That's why it exist at first place. War is also part of human nature. To find excuse to attack others , creating evil is a good way to get public support. Western journalists are doing this job very well by distorting the reality and mix their interpretation into selected facts in a very deceptive way. All the direct and proxy wars in last 20 years (Except Afghan) are approved by public because of their work. A good study of the topic should get nobel peace price. However, noble prize commitee itself has the same mentality as western journalists. A lot of winners a fake hero based on face value of commitees perception that eventually create more confilicts in the world.
