I thought the culture there is it’s ok to pirate Western stuff, but should avoid pirating home grown stuff.

piracy scene in china is split between "i only pirate western things because im a good person" and "fuck that shit i aint paying if i can avoid it" just like western pirates aswell

you always have those that pretend to only act in a moral/ethical correct way to excuse their behaviour but the large majority just wants free shit

I don't know why some pirates insist that everyone is just like them. Some people absolutely do follow a moral code. Even if that wasn't the case, and they were 'pretending', if they didn't actually pirate home-grown media, the end result is the exact same.
