Today, usage of the word "China" is interchangeable with the words "PRC government" both in colloquial use and in the minds of many people, particularly in China.
This makes it nearly impossible to hold a position that opposes the actions or positions of the PRC government without being seen as anti-China, and thus anti-the-people-of-China-and-their-best-interests (and holds an implied suggestion that the PRC is infallible).
Thus people, both inside and outside of China, who promote ideas like protecting the environment, freedom of speech, protecting the rights of landowners, or freedom of movement actually have Sinophobic ulterior motives and/or are trying to prevent the people of China from succeeding in the world. Viewing any differing opinion through this lens makes it nearly impossible to have honest discussions about a whole host of issues and allows the wholesale reduction of such arguments.
Until of course the PRC itself changes its position, at which point you should too.
