Nah, it’s fine, you’re making sense. The liberal worldview tries to fit everything into binary good/bad when the real world doesn’t exist like that. Any nation or group of people will do good things and bad things, liberals just ignore or justify the “bad things” their team does, while ignoring or denying all the good things the enemy team does.
It’s important for us to remember to actively reject this sort of mentality ourselves, it can be tempting to push back against liberal claims about China with a “China is actually perfect and an ideal place!” but that isn’t any more true than whatever liberal horror story about them is being pushed in the news this week. China is a nation like any other, with great accomplishments, but also errors and failures.
