I mean… I kinda get it, but nowadays it’s starting to get absurd.

(EDIT: This was supposed to be a “blow air out my nose and get on with my life” meme…)

    Why does every discussion around China devolve into this as if the US doesn’t also do this?

    Instead let’s discuss how average Chinese citizen in Shanghai is doing compared to the average citizen in San Francisco and have a real discussion between the two countries and how their government impacts their life.

      Why does every discussion about China also have to be about their many many enemies all over the world as a direct result of their opaque cruelty?

      Why can’t we just discuss what is wrong with China?

        Because this exact statement can also be applied to the US? Which to be frank I’m all for talking about, the US probably has the most enemies in the world. But regardless this discussion is intended to be about the government impacts on their citizens.

          Alright then go start a comment thread about it somewhere else. Good luck, don’t forget to talk about black laws and Tulsa massacre.

            Why would you even reply to begin with if you’re only going to derail the conversation with no pertinent information and not discuss the topic at hand?

              Me? I’m the one derailing conversation? You just told me to my face that you have a different conversation that you want to have rather than the conversation that you invited people to have.
