Article has been posted before, but since my take is China related I wanted to say something about it here.
In that much like how its dawning on anti-regime Iranians that Israel and the US's intentions are, surprise surprise, more selfish and genocidal rather than liberating, I think the same effect will fall upon anti-China Chinese types who were always under the impression that US lead demonization of China was moreso criticism of the Chinese government and its policies rather than a mask for what it truly was, genocidal hatred of the Chinese people.
Even if we were to take the argument at face value that yes people criticizing China were pointing out things the CPC fell short in like pollution, sanitation, and what not, China has just categorically made so many leaps and bounds recently in areas that are undeniable like green energy, AI, and even in pop culture with people now Chinamaxxing. That much is a given, since its talked about everyday in this forum. But anti-China types are moving goalposts and doubling down on their dislike of China. In fact when before they were often condescending that praising China's successes was making a mountain of a molehill, they now respond to every success of China wildly with slurs and pure venom, offering no nuance and denying Chinese people even the most basic humanity. It's a very predictable response to retreat into extremism when pressured, I just hope the anti-China diaspora realize this before its too late on their part.
