They're the worst polluter by far, they almost single-handedly keep the poaching industry going, they have a draconian hold on what media their citizens are allowed to consume, they've destroyed their once thriving martial arts community, they've a mountain of human rights violations, etc.
But you know, China is a Communist country and Communist countries are all great, right? We just have to conveniently overlook that they are a totalitarian regime.

Oh, and that they are keeping millions of their own citizens in re-education camps because they're Muslim.

But they're better than the US because they're Communist!

Sickening.

I think what he means is the tendency to consider the West inherently corrupt, wasteful and evil, a mindset often encountered, unfortunately, among very left-leaning folks. While there is certainly something to it, Western civilization is clearly not without its roaring successes either as food and water, freedom of speech, a roof over your head and the lack of a risk of having said roof bombed away at any moment can attest to.

Sorry for the thread necromancy, but I felt the need to weigh in and clear up some misunderstandings.
