Re: I was searching for an API documentation and found...
To add a little to post 4, this extends far beyond just China as well. I've generally found this hole my country can do no wrong attitude particularly prevalent in a lot of less developed countries, and all I really wonder is, why? What have those countries actually done for those people?
I'm just going to use England as an example here since I know our culture best. There are probably hundreds, if not thousands of TV shows, documentaries, films etc making fun of various elements of British culture, often either for comic relief, or to shine a light on our less than pretty history. Most of us, barring the idiotic fanatics you'll find pretty much everywhere, would probably agree with me when I say that we're generally willing to call ourselves out on our bullshit. Ditto for the US, although the hole BLM movement of 2020 has likely widened that gap just a little.
But here's where it gets really weird in my opinion. If someone makes a joke about how all the brits love tea and crumpets and sing god save the queen every morning after dawn, it's generally seen as being in good taste, if nothing else. Make fun of, say, the Chinese, or Islam or whatever in a similar fashion, however, and you're instantly and universally regarded as a racist.
Or, here's yet another example, Germany. I'm pretty sure 99% of Germans these days agree that Hitler was pretty much pure evil. Now let's look at Iraq and it's various sympathizers, who generally have a lot of, well, sympathy for Saddam Hussein, who was in many ways even worse than Hitler, certainly he was able to cling on to power for a lot longer, and in doing so had a lot of people killed.
