Liberal societies around the world are afraid of making strong statements and criticism of the way China handled this outbreak. The CCP is separate from the Chinese people and it has created an aura of defiance, callous behavior and intolerance for truth that collides with their image. When someone says "Fuck the CCP", it should not be met with liberal racist card - this is not racism, but criticism of the goverment and IMO the CCP needs to be criticized, dismantled and revolted against by the Chinese themselves. This is starting to happen but on a very small scale after the Coronavirus mishandling. It is very much productive to play the "blame game" because ultimately, we want the Chinese government to shutdown these wet markets, allow free speech of their citizens.

So criticizing or even denouncing it can't really be called acting racistic. Well except if it's _obvious that you act that way because of racistic ideas instead of criticism_ . Which might very well be the case for some people. So if given out of context the sentence might be racistic or might not be racistic. Also depending on your culture it might be just a sign of strong annoyance and just that. Or a very strong insult. Because of this, it's not really appropriate to say it either way as it seen as a insult in more cultures then ones at which it's just seen as a expression of annoyance/dislike. There are many other, better and more appropriate ways to criticize them. Like pointing out that they act racistic themself, like it did above. Also the initial bad response mainly comes from problems with local governance not the CCP. While the CCP controls the local goverment tightly it's also an open secet that the local government often actes in their interest first and only then in the interest of the whole country, especially if they believe they can get away with it. In the end the country is just to big with to many people to be efficiently governed. Maybe in the future with the help of more technology but not now. Through they are trying their best. Also lets be honest. Just consider how it would have went if that virus would have sourced in the USA. I mean after having a example which is both bad (initial response) and good (follow up response) the response in the USA (or the EU) is still sup-par. I would not have been surprised that if it would have been sourced in the USA then it would have spread even faster around the world including china. (Also as far as I have heard China did ban part of the food trading, additionally I have heard pretty racist thinks about how chines people where at fault because they eat everything etc. But the truth is they mostly eat pork. And the virus most likely was _not_ transmitted through food, through maybe still alive food, but then again still alive _normal_ food)
