There are a few members (very few) who are sympathetic (or let's say charitable) of China. Some will disappointingly deny Hong Kong citizens (and perhaps even Taiwan) agency. This all goes through some progressive ideological mish-mash where the United States represents the Right and a lot of what is bad in the world. Countervailing forces are too be regarded and not judged.
In this morality play in their minds, China was a victim and is now emerging to challenge American and Western hegemony around the world. The reality is China is still a developing country that has achieved a mid-level standard of living for its populace. It's sheer size allows it to project power on the world stage and intimidate its neighbors.
China resembles the Soviet Union more than many would want to admit. China's ability to graft market capitalism with a heavy government hand on to its autocratic governance has allowed it to go from being poor to an industrialized nation in one generation. This development path is actually not unique to China. What makes China different is its sheer size.
The next question is can China and its shaky economy persevere through the next step commonly called the middle income trap. Demographic headwinds caused by the CCP's one child policy will make the challenge greater. The easiest growth is now behind China.
