What a garbage country. If you buy stuff from china or travel there, you support slavery and are overall a burden on society.

The country isn't the problem, it's the government. Throwing all the people in with their authoritarian government will drive them into the CCPs arms because they have no other choice.

Dude. They're using chinese people for slavery and kidnapping/imprisoning/killing chinese people for talking about covid (or wherever else impotent leader Xinnie the Pooh finds embarrassing). How is oposing that racist? Go touch some grass.
