You clearly continue to miss the point. They aren't coerced to be like pack animals; it's how they live. The person extends to the family, the family extends to the community, the community extends to the region, and the region extends to the country. A "loss of face" to ANYTHING Chinese is a loss of face to THE Chinese; it's personal. They're one and the same to them.
(I'm completely fine with that part of their culture, by the way. It's just something of which to be aware when dealing with them. Very few will really be allies.)
Also, nobody said they're complicit in the crimes of the CCP. You're creating your own logical fallacies.
“Sure, pretend the hive mind defensiveness is not all over Weibo or WeChat. Pretend people on the streets aren't fussing about the latest "insult to China" they heard from state media. Pretend they're all well-intentioned and just scared to speak out. What a load of crap. ”

You literally posted this before this comment.
Yes, I did. Did you read it?

You cannot have it both ways.
What in the world does the hive mind have to do with being complicit in crimes? Did your brain break?
