China's strategy is to leverage Western reflexive defensiveness about accusations of racism by having CCP 'wolf diplomats' call critics of TikTok racist conspiracy theorists, thereby delegitimizing substantive conversation about the platform's dangers by making criticism socially costly.

Evidence Quote

the CCP is very aware of how we are reflexively defensive and so as soon as Tick-Tock criticisms began to surface from you and other people who actually understand how it works they began to call the critics of tis talk uh racist conspiracy theorists because they want to shut down the conversation because nobody in America wants to be called a racist or a conspiracy conspiracy theorist so the ccp's uh uh wolf diplomats immediately go out and call everyone who questions Tick Tock a racist conspiracy theorist
