On: The Long Shadow of Chinese Blacklists on American ...

this is very high-minded, and logical, but i'm sorry, but in my humble opinion the average person just doesn't have the raw intellectual horsepower to distinguish between 'ethnically chinese' and 'the government of the prc'. the press caters to these people, hence the ambiguation.

Isn't that why it's all the more important to insist on what parent is saying?

Try the same trick with "Scientologists" and "The Church of Scientology" and see if you feel like its so easy.

(Its not.)

Scientologists subscribe to The Church of Scientology. It's a personal decision. Citizens are born into their nation. It is not a personal decision. Therefore, I cannot see the two as comparable. And I know lots of Chinese people who hate their government, societal structures, etc, because of all the problems that are inevitable from those Chinese norms. And that is corroboration for me that it is so easy.
