I learned early on that Chinese people are so shallow and commercialistic, that having even the smallest honest interest in their culture is enough to talk to them. Just don't bring up Hong Kong or Taiwan territorial discussions and they're completely harmless. They don't know more about traditional China than you, all they know is whatever was reflected through western media. Modern China has completely submitted to western ideals through the lens of communism and Americanism. When you "don't like China" today, the things you don't like are probably bad copies of western culture. Aside from some common dishes, dresses and the language, there is nothing "Chinese" left.

Deng Xiaoping introduced the idea of "economic zones" where westerners were allowed to come to China and invest. At this time China was completely communist, private enterprise didn't exist. It's easy to imagine how the idea of China was then recreated as a marketing effort to foreign investors, playing on the ancient mysticism and qualities of being exotic. Whatever traditional cultural artifacts Chinese people have today, are part of this tool. It is from within this area that the popularization of Chinese martial and spiritual arts spread to the west. It is all, at its core, a communist propaganda effort. You cannot liberate China using a tool created by the communist party. This is why nothing has so far changed. The Falun Gong movement also appeared on this same foundation. It cannot for this reason oppose the communist party, just as was dictated by its founder. It will also keep serving as a communist marketing tool in the west, no matter how much "exposing the truth" is performed. At most you could end up with people seeing "the bad apples of the party", but there will be no real harm done to it. The Chinese people are too clueless and too much in awe of Americanism and western philosophy to ever leave this cage that they built for themselves.
