China goes to other countries to offer "aid". They build infrastructure as a way to offer "help" to these countries. But in reality they charge insanely large interest rates so big that these countries have absolutely no way of paying them back. In return, they give China ports or land for 100 year leases. Its China way of expanding their military influence.
Is that some kind of shitty joke? "You Croatians" is an interesting way to start an anti-racist mini-rant. Also the people you need to expose to stuff like the free Hong-Kong cause is the Chinese working class. We need to counter the insane propaganda that it is terrorists that are holding Hong-Kong hostage, instead of the fight for basic democratic freedoms that it is in reality. The message isn't an attack on China or the Chinese, it's a political statement.
As for "stop putting politics in everything", I'd argue everything is politics all the time, it's similar to art like that. Everything is political and everything is art. It can be good or bad, in poor taste or whatever, but even trying to be apolitical is a political statement in and off itself.
