In hindsight do you think normalizing relations with china was a bad idea?

This. Everything was going in a positive direction until Xi took power and it legitimately turning into Mao 2.0 cult of personality style and all.

It makes me sad because I truly love Chinese culture, art, food and ancient history, while at the same time I absolutely hate their current state of actions. I'm just glad that finally you have mainstream media and people holding them accountable and calling them on their bullshit.

I've been following this stuff for a few years now and can tell you first hand that up until the last two-ish years you had people actually defend them on places like Reddit full-stop believing their propaganda about being "clean energy champions of the world" and stuff like that. Front page subs would straight up call you a racist and downvote you into oblivion for criticizing them when Trump was in office.

It's been great seeing the tides finally turn to them being held accountable for their actions by normal people in the West. Just to be very clear because I feel that it always needs to be stated, I'm talking about the Chinese government. I loathe the CCP, but I have nothing but admiration, respect and sympathy for the majority of the actual people.
