I don't think they're necessarily government employees. Chinese coverage of Chinese issues is extremely biased. The Chinese have fought an unbroken line of Indian Wars starting thousands of years before us - and have continued fighting these wars in the modern era - wars in which they massacred or expelled entire populations of people. But Chinese propaganda tends to focus on our herding of the Indians into reservations, and fighting or capturing Indian combatants, as some kind of unique moral evil, while either glossing over or suggesting that Chinese massacres or expulsions of entire populations were not only necessary, but a moral good. It's the kind of arrogance, borne out of a feeling of innate racial superiority, that led the Qianlong (birthname Hongli) Emperor to order King George (yes, that King George) to "tremblingly obey and show no negligence", in regard to the Emperor's rejection of a British request for additional trading rights.
