What's up with this straight up pro-china and pro-russia stuff on Lemmy lately?

It's not even praising the people of China and Russia, but rather their gov directly.

Obviously the states have problems, and the EU to a lesser degree, but they at least have some human rights.

Is this some kind of organized disinformation campaign?

The position of Germany on pro-Palestine activism is insufferable, that’s true, but the EU has 26 other members.

You know, the argument of "they aren't repressive, so long as you just ignore all the ways that they are!" applies just as much to China. You're purely begging the question. I like that you even got it wrong which fucking country it was.
