I don't hate the Chinese population, I just don't like how the Chinese government operates and how they use and manipulate their population. How they seem to be deliberately antagonizing diplomatic relations. Granted they aren't going as far as the Russian government is, but they are going pretty far to try to paint every western country as the bad guys.
And yes I know western countries aren't perfect - no country is perfect. But the actions of the Chinese government seems to be painting us in a light that is far worse than reality.
They tend to stick to the old Soviet way of relieving internal issues by giving the people an external force or government to hate rather than trying to fix their own issues. That "saving face" culture they have is really detrimental to their ability to move forward and fixing their internal problems.
