the average American worker has more in common with the average Chinese worker than they do with an American oligarch

The average American worker has also more in common with the average Chinese worker than they do with an ~~American oligarch~~ Chinese oligarch and Chinese dictator. So your argument is not very valid.

all of the American propaganda about how Chinese people are inherently untrustworthy and nefarious is gonna fall apart as people interact with actual Chinese people and realize "oh they're pretty much just like me, other than the language barrier".

No one says that Chinese people are worse or better than Americans or any other people on this planet. We're all the same. The problem here is the dictatorship in China that collects data of Americans and other people around the globe as others in this thread already have said. The Chinese people are fine, the Chinese government is not.
