Yep, I've seen people increasingly falling for loaded articles against the PRC. It's easier to see through when it isn't related to anything immediately moral, ie "China is going to collapse!" narratives that China Watchers push, but when it's tied to potential failings of the PRC with regard to genuine struggles, like Palestinian Liberation, people tend to read the media less critically.
I can't say I blame people for wishing China did more, after all, many of us live in countries actively contributing to the genocide, so we often push our agency onto AES countries. This is, of course, wrong, we need to push to what we can actually do to stop the genocide ourselves, but from an emotional perspective I can see why doomerism can manifest into anti-AES stances, which needs to be thoroughly understood so that it doesn't take root. Imperialists weilding the left against the left is an old weapon in the armory, we need to be vigilant.
This work in particular was a large influence on how I should act as a Communist, and how that should guide my interactions with others. Glad to see it being read and studied more! Very happy that a comrade recommended it to me.
