    …no? From my perspective, that’s like saying:

    Democrats and police worked to protect the slavers and stop the rescue of slaves from out of the province.

    When it was really the city, or at most state-level government getting in trouble. I know China isn’t federalized to the extend the US is, and it’s technically true since all govt is CCP, but still.

    It sounds like you are implicating national officials when there’s no mention in the source.

        Yeah. Exactly

        I’m bristling at this because it’s exactly what Trump does here. Some local official screws up or does something bad, and it’s blown up on Twitter and generalized to all “Democrats.”
