      I am asking this in full earnestness: is any critique of the Chinese government assumed to be rooted in xenophobia?

      I think he’s referring to how Reddit used to operate on Tencent funding.
      Tencent is partially owned by the Chinese government.

      It’s well known and accepted that the Chinese government has significant control of Chinese companies, and Reddit is partially owned by Tencent. That’s not xenophobic.

      The fact that it’s something like a 5% stake is more relevant.
