Sinophobia and russophobia are terms that refer to ethnic racism, heavy leveraged by tankies to position political disagreement as racist. In these cases I don't think that the fear was a ethnic based, but rather capitalist or nationalist.
The fear is still unjustified. It's like thinking that you can trust Amazon more than Ali, or Google more than Xiaomi.
There is plenty of racism against Chinese/Asian people, which is a different level of vile.
It is still a democracy, but that democracy is in crisis. You will know over the next 2/years if it will survive, although the next federal election will be the real test.

if elections are still fair.
Democracies can recover if they keep their representation.
If there is meant to be capitalist competition then the competitors should not be massively funded by the government. China massively funds their electric car industry, principally because they own them.
That said, US carmakers get Government bailouts all the time.
Americans are fucked. Political disagreement to be classified as a mental disorder? Y'all skipped the Hungary and Russia steps, and went straight to NK.
This. The narcissistic crisis of a man his age is all consuming. He doesn't care about the external as long as he can play a game with it that he can use to maintain his internal. Anybody who knows this game can play him.
The Canadians are apparently done separating the blues from the reds. Put them all in the dryer and maybe they will start to care about their politics again.
Ford is the Premier (Governor) of the Ontario province (state), which is like NYS And W. DC put together (and is across the pond from Rochester.)
He is considered a dumpie leader, with no real accomplishments, and a silly approach to policy (let's make sure that beer is affordable)- but generally an improvement on the previous corrupt/spend-thrift centrist party (even though they got some very good things done.)
