What you call caricature is reality. I am not a western neoliberal and I have every reason to push back against western chauvinism. Largely, there are two positions in the world, one being Anglo imperialism and the other is rest of world that suffers from it. Nuances are a secondary concern. Hairsplitting distractions stopped working long ago.

I am tired of how malicious people are, that purposely believe lies about Tiananmen Square and Tankman and even go ahead to spread them, frankly speaking. There is a CNN Crew footage since the past 9-10 years where no "Tankman" ever got crushed. There are fingerprints everywhere regarding CIA's involvement in Tiananmen incident, and how "democratic students" were paid in scholarships, vacation trips and other means to cause havoc. There are photos of those terrorists burning Chinese soldiers, vehicles and infrastructure first, which was responded to by PLA soldiers aptly.

You can only ever have good faith arguments with people who do not go "see see poo poo" the moment they hear China.
