I haven't read The Three Body Problem, so I can't speak to the content of the book specifically.

But I think expecting people to judge books based exclusively on their politics - and not just on their politics, but on how the most basic, broad descriptions of their politics align with the plot summary of a book - is absolutely silly.

It does sometimes happen that people read things that they would politically disagree with without paying enough attention to notice the parts that they disagree with. But there's also just about a million other explanations for what's going on here, and even if they did politically disagree with it, it doesn't mean that every single reader would turn and dismiss it out of hand. That's absolutely a stereotype.

There's also the reality that science fiction often involves thought experiments and shouldn't necessarily be read literally as direct advocacy.
