If the ignorant western Leftist take was "I don't know what's going on in China" coupled with opposing US imperialism, that would be great.

Yeah, that seems about right. Though I do find it okay to distrust the chinese government without strong evidence, so long as you don't have specific takes as you say.
Feigning ignorance isn't an acceptable line on any topic.
what about being concious of the fact, that you are ignorant?
I am ignorant on the topic of China. Instead of both-siding the discussion, I prefer not to say anything and keep learning silently.
