China is an autocracy that has committed genocide recently, and is trying to make the nations around it their tributary states.

So you're saying to deal with it, be so suspicious. This is that "all russians are spies" mentality. "All chinese are spies" leads to prejudice, and large-scale expunging the Chinese. Not what we need.

Not all Chinese people, but a shockingly high number. They don't even need to be official spies, normal people who are simply more loyal to Beijing than their host country can present a massive problem.

This mentality will only serve to encourage discrimination against Chinese people. This is literally the same mentality that drives Islamophobia.

And your mentality is the reason Canada is a total lost cause. China is playing the fuck out of the west and I have to respect them for it at least.

As same as the USA. Because yeah, your country is also a really imperialist one trying to expand their influence with everything. Except it worked with the USA.
I am not saying they are evil and dangerous for being imperialist, but because they are a extreme and nightmarish totalitarian state on top of being imperialist

I lived in China for 2 years. While that was under Hu Jintao, and the current administration is worse, you are still completely full of shit. China is authoritarian, and the bureaucracy and the security guards EVERYWHERE get annoying, but it's not like 3rd Reich or North Korea levels of horrible. Life there is much more normal than what most Americans imagine. When I say most people there don't live in fear of the government in their day to day lives, I get moronic and unrealistic questions like, "How do you know they weren't just showing you the good parts of the country?" Well, because they weren't controlling my fucking movements. DUH!!!! It's not North Korea where they tell you where you can go and who you can talk to. The fact that people need to ask that sort of question just shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what China is actually like. There's a reason why North Koreans try to flee to China, but the reverse isn't an issue.
In some ways, China is a more pleasant social environment than the US because the people have not become demoralized and mopey the way Americans are. We could learn a lot from them culturally, about taking care of ourselves and coping with adversity.
The current tensions between the US and China would not be half as bad as they are if the US would just show some basic respect and stop spouting paranoid fantasies. Respect does not mean you can't keep an eye on what the Chinese are up to. Sometimes their government gets a little wonky, and you do need to keep an eye on it. This is true of other governments as well, including the US one, particularly with Trump in office. Some things shouldn't be contracted out to Chinese companies. But when people start talking about nukes, that's not funny and it's not right.
Xi and Trump are both crap leaders, and that's another big part of what's going wrong, but having a crap leader in office does not mean that the whole country is an irredeemable hellhole. Given how recently we had better leaders, we should not assume that the current crap leadership will continue indefinitely. It is not too late for things to calm back down, but we absolutely need better leadership in both countries.

Seriously, there's got to be SOMEONE else on the Democratic side who can point out the threat of China besides Hillary.
Even when she stays quiet Donnie has to keep talking about her at his masturbation rallies, so what difference does it make to her?
