Every time I interact with any hexbear user in anything remotely related to China, it is flying whataboutism "But U.S. ...", "It is unlike the west haven't ...", "We should fix our own problem first".

Thanks, I am trying to fix our own problem. I am Chinese... And they would never defend any western allies' action with the same whataboutism (of course I am not saying they should, whataboutism is a valid excuse to neither China nor the west), like they did with China and Russia. To me, this feels like pro-China/pro-Russia bias.

Besides, the world is definitely not better off with more dictators, people shouldn't be fine with repression just because they are not in the same country as you.

I have been accused of not being able to correctly interpret East Asian history because of my eurocentric biases...... I am Korean.

It's crazy how much they (typically white Europeans) accuse people of being sinophobic or eurocentric, and then attempt to explain East Asian history to Asian people in the most eurocentric way possible.
