An evil authoritarian regime that is committing human rights abuses and does not follow democratic norms ..... but we'll do billions of dollars worth of trade with them and base a lot of our industries around trading with them. But they're still evil.

Yeah that tracks, same with Saudi Arabia and Israel.

Being aware of America's abuses of power is good. Being contrarian and acting like everything they've ever said about China is a lie is bad.
