Please explain how this is Sinophobic.
Innovation from other countries is not subjected to similar scrutiny
People have scrutinized what chatgpt for example is allowed and not allowed to say by its programmers. I think the difference here is that there is lower hanging fruit to grab because the Chinese state has a different relationship to censorship than a lot of other states.
I also associate Sinophobia with being prejudiced against Chinese people or Chinese culture, however being critical or skeptical of the Chinese state is actually perfectly reasonable. I'm also very critical of the US state and this isn't because I'm "americaphobic" or some nonsense.
Totally agree. Saying that "any criticism of the Chinese government is sinophobic" is the same as saying that "any criticism of Israel's government is antisemitic."
