Ah, so you are in fact the one who believes that having a Chinese ethnicity makes you entitled to speak on behalf of people in China, I guess. You were just racist and projecting.

Please point to where I claimed to be able to speak for Chinese citizens everywhere. As per my comment, I was discussing my personal experiences, and the viewpoints of Asian people I've personally known or interacted with. Which, given I'm a Chinese living in Asia, is counted in the thousands.

I'm not American, so I'm not even going to bother with the rest of your whataboutism comment.

No argument, so you report. That's an admission of fault in itself.
