"Nice Strawman" is basically a bumper sticker slogan for people who don't actually understand what's being discussed.
No it is a logical fallacy.
That some people don't understand its meaning doesn't take this away.
"I don't want the US to become authoritarian like China has historically been perceived as by Americans"
"Oh so you hate everyone from Asia"
How is that not a textbook strawman?
