      Okay but the people making these arguments should realize how similar it sounds to colonialism apologia and not throw hissy fits when people point that out and maybe work on making their case better.

        Sorry I'm not American and I'm not about to study what some racists in America said 70+ years ago before making a point on China

          It’s not about what they said, it’s about the fact they did shit similar to this in the past and we don’t hold back from calling it abhorrent. If we want to make the case that this instance is different are arguments have to be stronger than the garbage they pulled out of their ass to excuse it.

          I mean if you’re gonna blow that off you might as well say “I just assume what China is doing isn’t bad because I like China”. Which I mean fine but just own up to it.
