Except I never said either of these things. This is just you fighting a straw man.

This you?

It’s such an incredible example of cognitive dissonance. People able to recognize that their own system doesn’t live up to the ideal they have in their heads, but still treat it as a valid interpretation of the idea, but when it comes to a system they dislike then the same logic doesn’t apply all of a sudden.

As is said, it seems like you are working with only two categories in your head: "pro China" and "pro us"

That one can criticise one of them without liking the other doesn't seem to fit in your head
