The frequency of what you see isn’t a reason to take something seriously or not. A more specific argument might be helpful. To be clear, I like China and its people. I strongly dislike the CCP and how it operates, for a long list of reasons that are easy to find on Wikipedia or elsewhere. In the context of this discussion, I am simply pointing out that it doesn’t make sense for the allegedly free and democratic societies of Europe to increase their ties with the Chinese government at this point, unless they aren’t actually as free and democratic as previously thought.
