    It’s so fucking funny yet nonsensical and pathetic. I have always seen this accusation of “racism” when criticising CCP. CCP trolls have taken a page from Israeli government’s successful co-opting of “antisemitism”. Although CCP’s attempt to weaponise “racism” falls flat when you point out that the criticism is railed on pissing off South East Asia and Taiwan by trying to claim an entire body of ocean and wanting to annex a democratic society. So nothing is racist here. The “racism” angle is founded on weak grounds. Maybe this works on Chinese domestic audience? Russian trolls are cleverer with their psychological subversive tactics.
