Okay, are we gonna be consistent and say criticizing any state that (claims) to represent an entire ethnic group is anti-that-ethnic group then? Criticizing China is now Sinophobic! And don't you dare speak I'll of Albania!

With most libs, the point of criticizing China is Sinophobia.

Yes but they don't think that. They "hate the government not the people".

Or more accurately, I'd say that they believe if they say they "hate the government not the people" they can say whatever racist things they want and it is ok.
