I'm a "tankie" and my MO is to point out the millions lifted out of poverty in communist China and the fact that the Chinese are apparently a lot happier with their government than Americans are with theirs. China is the workshop of the world and meanwhile much of the American heartland is a fentanyl-addicted hellscape with totally neglected physical and institutional infrastructure. That's pretty much all you have to do: material circumstances trump all and any communist understands this.

Of course China does spook shit. What are they supposed to do: refuse to do intelligence out of some misguided sense of morality so the CIA has free rein to do whatever they want, wherever they want, whenever they want? You might as well just assert that China's bad because they refuse to get owned by US intelligence - it's an equivalent sentiment.
