I would suspect what you said is true, but that wasn't my point. My point was simply that the CCP != China. They've put a huge amount of propaganda work into trying to conflate criticism of the party with hatred of the country (and by extension, the people in it), to the point where even foreigners start to drink the Kool-Aid. It's simply untrue, however.
