I don't think they'd hate AI so much if they didn't see it as being controlled by the same people (and types of people) who made Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Amazon, Netflix, Google, etc. all go downhill over the last decade and suck.

If it was crammed down our throats in the same way by different people we’d still hate it just as much.
It being made by anyone linked to Venture Capital or any publicly traded company also are non-starters at this point.
There are plenty of other reasons for people to hate the AI industry. the OpenAI, Deepseek and Anthropic people are a whole new collection of tech elites, separate from the old tech elites that were hated before.
I have to say, while I can't seem to escape constant articles about the drama of OpenAI and Anthropic, about Altman and Amodei and at various times other figures in these companies, I had to look up Liang Wenfang and frankly what I do find seems to suggest that there may be some upsides to China's lower relative deference to CEOs than the US
You can't escape constant articles about the drama of OpenAI and Anthropic because you live in a country with a free press. Chinese journalists generally do not perform critical investigations of things unless they're sure the Party wants those things investigated and criticized.
