            “Nice Strawman” is basically a bumper sticker slogan for people who don’t actually understand what’s being discussed.

              No it is a logical fallacy.

              That some people don’t understand its meaning doesn’t take this away.

                “I don’t want the US to become authoritarian like China has historically been perceived as by Americans”

                “Oh so you hate everyone from Asia”

                How is that not a textbook strawman?

            They were talking about the Chinese government and you turned that into “asians”.

                The Chinese government does not encompass all asians. When people talk about the oppression of the Chinese government they are not criticizing Asian people in general, but an extremely small subset of powerful people, regardless of their region of origin or culture. Do you think this person hates people from Japan now too?

                You are being deliberately intellectually dishonest, I’m assuming.

      Their problem with China is the supposed atheism, and that they’re not christian fundamentalists.

      The same reason this administration does all the things they point their finger and accuse everyone else of doing. They’re traitorous scumbags and hypocrites.
