I don't quite understand how people can say they dislike or hate China only because of political reasons. You may say you don't like China, because of political reasons, but don't say you don't like China, if you don't know anything besides politics. And even the politics you claim to know, you might only know them from one point of view. I'd suggest hearing the defendant before laying judgement on her.
Let's use the USA for example. Some people like the USA extremely much, however, they might still have hard time seeing eye to eye with the American politics. I know people like this. They hate the American politics, but still they say they love the USA. That is because they love other aspects of America so overwhelmingly much.
I don't know about the Chinese politics, but I do know it might prove to be a bit more difficult for people to give reasons why they don't like China besides political reasons. Personally, I feel touched by the Chinese people I've met. They are not bad people.

Why I Like China
It's just great out here in Beijing. The food's just amazing, they've got every type of cuisine plus stuff like vastly improved Pizza Hut products due to Chinese flavouring.
Not many countries get, for example, special Japanese products as cheap as the Chinese, and very few countries get them at all. Plus China can design and produce very high quality products.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is at moment curing me from always very easily feeling cold in my feet and palms. TCM can undoubtedly do some pretty amazing things that Western medicine just can't
I've got respect for the Chinese because of their high values. These people don't live for the instant gratification.

Sexual country?
If you had to guess which was the most promiscuous country in the world, what would be your answer? Well, according to the condom manufacturers Durex it's China.
Customers in a Beijing club
The Chinese have sex with more people than any other race - an average of 19 partners in a lifetime. That's nearly twice the figure for Britain.
British-owned Durex now runs a factory in China and spokesman Robin Price says they are doing booming business.
"Sales are very healthy and we are confident the Chinese market will be very good for us," he said.
A decade ago all this would have been unthinkable, but as China has opened up to the West so the attitudes of young people have changed towards sex...

This is not the whole truth. Older people certainly don't have so many sexual partners and 50% of young people are traditional. Being traditional means no sex before marriage, and if there is sex, it is under the cirmunstances of the deepest kind of love that can never be broken. Should it be broken, that could result in a suicide or certainly being in a bad recovery mode the rest of a person's life. Love is very serious here, and deeper. And people sacrifice for love unlike in Western countries. Even if you are married, you may not see your wife naked. People are brought up like that, and you cannot change it. And most - 20 smth women - cannot talk about sex with men (they'd feel like vomiting).

Hanging Gardens of Beer
Yesterday I went to what I call a beer buffet. The beer was Yinging and my head was placed wide-open right under the tap. In addition to this the place had to offer various things to go with the beer: famously good chicken in different forms is their main attraction for non-Finns, plus not bad pizza, tasty cakes, and the usual buffet stuff. All this just for 7 bucks! Alternatively, if you care pizza more than chicken, then Big Pizza's buffet is the place for you. It has very good pizza for the same price, plus ice cream, soups, two tables full of other foodstuff
Now weeks later I've learned that this is not the whole truth, I mean don't expect to munch away delicious pizza for a cheap price. If you like your pizza to have a thin bottom, that can be harder to come by. Everyone keeps saying Pizza Hut is the best (it's supposed to be really different from those of Western countries, they've remodelled everything). It's good with a lot of stuff you can't find in the Western world in a pizza. But that's 10$. Mr. Pizza is my favorite in terms of taste. Same price level, if not even a tiny bit more.
Too bad Chinese people never drink in order to get drunk, so I had to refrain myself from drinking excessive amounts of beer buffet's beer and special extremely sweet wine.

Hunt'er And The Fox
Wow, I feel like a rat caught between a snack and a trap. You see I like Chinese women, but most of them want to marry before having sex, or then they just can't deal with a break-up, since they get this idea that a relationship is forever. So I thought I might set the same trap for you guys. Here's the deal: in North-West China there is an area of villages where everything is quite primitive, to the extent that it's the women who control the society. It's purely matriarchal: if a woman wants to have sex with you, there's no refusing, unless you want to go to jail or smth worse and more tribal-like. And this happens a lot. The Chinese have allowed them to have their own their own legislation in order to maintain the minority intact. And here's the trap: although this might sound like a nice place for a single man, it's very dangerous because of the unpredictability of the justice system. Well, there you have it, a case of primitive justice and primal urges...

Hobo Dreams
I hear it's possible to rent a flat in Beijing for 45 US dollars per month and live in this rather wonderful place (I'm thinking the next summer when it's warm out here). The cons of renting plan are that such a place is a dump. First of, there's no heating (but I wonder, if in Finland one can buy a portable heater for small money, it shouldn't be that difficult here either). And the dump might lack other stuff as well. Don't know about if it has running water or not. But public toilets are everywhere and thanks to the communistic era, they are free! This is just one of my plans that run along the lines of earning a salary in a rich country and then going to spend it carefully and slowly in a cheap country. Preferably in a big city.

Enter The Dragon In Me
I will be staying 3 months in Beijing with my relatives in China. Sounds like the worst case scenario? Well, in practice it's certainly not. The Chinese are very nice toward a foreigner as is the Chinese custom. I mean, after all, this is the country that was in war against Japan, and how did the Chinese treat the Japanese prisoners-of-war? Well, they let their own boys go without water, while they made sure their prisoners lived in relative luxury. All I'm saying, I like it here in the "Northern Capital"!
Weather might be as cold as where I hail from, somewhere there under the Northern sky, but the people sure ain't that cold here. Beijing is after all at the same horizontal axis with Rome, and here the food plays as integral part in people's lifes as it does in the City of Twin Wolves (in Rome everyone must have a wolf of their own to take to the ancient parks). If you want to connect with the Beijingers, food topic is the way go.
And I sure like eating here, they've got everything a Westerner can hope for, plus an endless assortment of their own food. Right now my favorite is a big bowl of noodles for about one dollar in a street noodle joint, popular among the locals, especially among the workers. My favorite snack is something they sell on a street for 30 US cents. Only thing they don't have is a large enough selection of ice cream except in the summer season, and they don't have frozen pizza in every hypermarket. Oh, plus they don't have chocolate pudding in hypermarket, only some stuff with cheese in it.
