I think saying "your government" is too mean towards the commenter. They might not work for that government and the people of that country are hostages so maybe they're just someone elsewhere with misinformed knowledge currently? Otherwise an informative post

Your point is fair, I just met many mainland Chinese, and while some buy in, most tend to take a "yes the government is evil, but what can you do?" Approach.

I tend to take defenders as either paid or unpaid collaborators because I consider it a safe assumption, but I am taking liberties.
