You may be in different circles than me. In my circles, it is used to poke fun at Xi Jinping, not the Chinese people. It is a caricature, just as we draw caricature of our own politicians. Despite the CCP’s attempts, Westerners distinguish between race and state. Xi Jinping is not China and China is not Xi Jinping.

There are lot’s of ways to criticize a political figure or a government. But you choose the racist caricature.
Back to point 2: it’s covert racism. It gives people plausible deniability.
But, at the end of the day, westerners imperialists love their orientalism and their covert racism.
