But not r/Sino ? The Chinese government propaganda sub? The same government that is putting Muslims in concentration camps... spitting on the UNs UDHR? The same government that sanctioned Australia for calling for international investigations into the origin or the current pandemic were in? So trump propaganda bad, Chinese propaganda good? Am I getting this right, just for future reference.

r/sino spreads disinformation and is the exact same mentality as r/t_d. The other side of the same coin, should have been banned.

"Like the NBA, we welcome Chinese censors into our homes and into our hearts. We too love money more than freedom and democracy. Xi doesn’t look just like Winnie the Pooh at all... Long live the Great Communist Party of China!"

A sub that once had stickied the wish to destroy white power, and put them under the rule of China somehow continues to survive. What a fucking joke. Racism goes both ways, and this sub has consistently been a sub promoting racist views.

The Chinese government gave Reddit a few hundred million dollar “investment”. That’s why it’s not banned

If you haven’t noticed, almost every sub banned is related to the current politics in America. My guess is that reddit is just another puppet in this country’s pissing contest. It’s sad really, there is so much hate and wrong doing in this world but our media only sheds light on topics that benefit the current political situation. It’s sickening. Id say were nothing but pawns in someone else’s game but it seems more realistic to say that were actually just the dust being pushed around by the real pieces.

The banned subreddits weren't banned for being propaganda, they were banned for inciting violence. In general, if they banned subs that were just propaganda for things they didn't like, it would be censorship and going against the original Reddit purpose of being a place for free speech. That's why this whole thing is so hard in the first place, because there's a balance they have to strike between being pro-free speech, which is what Reddit was founded on, and not being a place that harbors hateful people who incite violence.
Anyways, all that to say that none of the things you just listed are bannable offenses. Yes the Chinese government is horrible, but as long as people in the sub aren't inciting violence or being racist (and the subreddit as a whole would have to be shown to be a place that repeatedly harbors and encourages these people, rather than it being a few isolated people that get removed and banned) then supporting a horrible government is not against the rules.
I'd also like to make the disclaimer that I don't spend any time in that sub so I don't actually know if they're a racist and violent community, I'm just going off of what you said in your comment and trying to give a bigger context for what Reddit is dealing with.

I hate Donald Trump and /r/the_donald but /r/Sino should be banned for all the same reasons. Its has an even more malignant user base because many accounts are instruments of the Chinese government and not even real people.

Also the same government that literally disappeared millions of people, bans western social media while hypocritically boosting wumao accounts to spread their ccp propaganda on same social media sites, weaponizing free democracies' free exchange but firewalling off much of that exchange from their own citizens. 1984 stuff[1].
But gaslighters dismiss any criticism of the communist party as hate speech/xenophobia. That's akin to saying any criticism of nazi germany is racist. Can /u/spez address this blatant double standard? Why is denouncement of fascistic methods limited to some countries but not others?

Judging by the OP, deletion is a result of not just bad behavior but also a refusal to listen to the admins. I'm guessing the reason Sino avoided action is because they haven't been put on notice by the admins yet.

But r/ccj2 got banned, which was a jerk sub for Chinese expats which mainly revolved around self-deprecating humour about being a drunk loser ESL teacher, joking about wide-eyed fresh off the boat Tim Budongs, and taking the piss out of Xi Jinping and the Communist Party (including a lot of Xi Jinping erotic fiction). It got constantly brigaded and reported by r/Sino and r/Aznidentity posters who hated it.

Atheism is a sanctioned, protected, and *encouraged* ideology on Reddit. You are *never, ever* going to see the admins crack down on it.

Or the Hindu-supremacist/Hindutva subreddits (eg, /r/bakchodi, /r/chodi, /r/indiaspeaks)? It’s practically Indian nazism.
It’s okay if a majority is oppressing a minority when they’re outside of the Americas and Europe?

Honestly if this isn’t classified as a hate sub I’m not sure what is. Everything there is anti-west and anti-White as I’ve ever seen. I’m not one to throw the word racist or supremacy around, but they are undoubtably a racist Chinese-supremacy mouthpiece

They hide behind racism to avoid any criticism of China. If you want freedom for the people of Hong Kong, you're a racist to them, it's sickening. Yet they (and many other asian based hate subs) go unaffected because of reddits ties to the CCP.
