You do realize the Chinese government is not just content with keeping to itself and has repeatedly trying to impose [0] its [1] values [2] on the west too, right? You could argue the west has been doing the same with China, but I'd say the Chinese government has been pretty effective at keeping the "good bits" of westernization and tossing out anything that clashes with its ideology.
Sinophobia should be completely out of the question, I agree, and some people will be blinded by rage and that's truly unfortunate as I, too, want Asian hatred to stop, but people should be rightfully upset with the CCP. The treatment towards Uyghurs has been appalling, and so the rest of the world is taking notice. Any programs that supposedly exist to help them will be seen as whitewashing. It's within our rights to condemn such treatment... for now.

Except the Hollywood one you linked, which is mostly a money driven result by Hollywood itself, but the rest of your examples are really results of the China-western conflicts. > the Chinese government has been pretty effective at keeping the "good bits" of westernization and tossing out anything that clashes with its ideology I don't see what's wrong with that. China has been totalitarian for thousnds of years. I don't see why many westerners believe it has to be overthrone, especially given all the economical achievements in recent decades. Yes the CCP made mistakes, in fact many in the past, and still making some today. But it's a system that in overall worked for most people in this country, if there's a way to fix it without replacing it, why not? > I, too, want Asian hatred to stop, but people should be rightfully upset with the CCP If the people can distinguish their hatred and reasonable doubt, sure, be upset with the CCP. But is it what people can do as of today? Obviously not. The way these media outlets producing these anti-CCP articles are in a fashion to exagerrate hatred, not reasonable doubt. Just notice the wording they use, the way they shape their tone, and the image they are trying to plant in readers' mind. It's so obvious that people wrote these articles wants more conflicts through hatred. This is the danger I want to point out. Is there another way? Of course! Write as many articles as you want, but please use an objective tone and wording, and most importantly, focus on facts! Educate your readers what they can do to verify the facts, how they can contribute TO THE GROUND on helping those in trouble. Just do what honest journalism should do.
