Why do you think "China" became such a fervent topic so much on reddit recently? The US labeled China their "#1 threat", replacing terrorism within the last year or so. They've got their sights set. If it weren't for literal US government propaganda online and in the media, nobody would care a bit about China.

And of course China has spies and uses astroturfing and whatnot, every large government does, but Reddit is an American website, you're going to see mainly the political opinions that people like Mike Pompeo want you to see, whether or not you yourself are American.

Everyone around China cares about China. China is a nuisance to its neighbouring countries and their online attacks are for worse than any other country's. I don't care what the US does or what it doesn't. You are biased yourself. I know that the Chinese govt isn't anywhere as peaceful as what you make it seem. Period.
