China mostly exports goods lower on the value chain. When China tries to move up in the value chain such as exporting whole cars, phones, networking gear, software, that's where the "China bad" becomes much more of a problem for Chinese companies.


I have seen concerns about Chinese software and network gear along the lines of "if this is compromised we would loose everything", which is not a bad position from a security standpoint.

Phones: There was a very large acceptance of OnePlus and other Chinese phones in the US.

Cars: China has just recently started to try and export cars to the US and it looks like the US is putting up trade barriers to prevent that. There are several factors in this, i.e. domestic worker protection.

The only one that may be considered "China Bad" is network gear and software, since the concern is the state apparatus compromising the product being received.

For all other's I have not seen a daemonization of China or Chinese people.
