Once people start talking about massacring millions, even in jest, I think we’ve gotten to a pretty bleak place. I trust that you wouldn’t actually support anything so horrific (and insane).

There's over 1 billion people there. If you could drop a nuke and take out their entire political infrastructure I'd do it in a heartbeat, but only if I had some assurance that what replaced it wasn't worse.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Once people start accepting the massacring of wild animals like the rhino, the tiger, the lion, the pangolin etc etc etc driving these species to the brink of extinction and condone horrific cruelty of other species just to satisfy human greed, even in jest, we’ve gotten to a pretty bleak place. I trust that you wouldn’t actually support anything so horrific ( and insane).

They could change but they refuse to - regardless of the evidence, the consequences, they just don’t give a fck and they won’t change - too many $$$$ to be made! Pass me the button!!!

If human life is so expendable, what exactly are we fighting for again? Nothing China has done or probably ever would do is anywhere near as bad as what you’re suggesting.

we may not think human life is expendable, but the powers that be in China DO, otherwise we all would have had more warning.

If you even vaguely support dropping bombs on people then that’s exactly what you think, and it honestly makes you ethically inferior to the Chinese leadership.

^The hundreds of millions of Chinese people who have escaped extreme poverty in recent decades might have a different view. Have you asked them? Do you even have a circle of Chinese friends to ask?

My daughters friend who killed her self was Chinese, her mum told me all about what it was like growing up in China. Hell on earth. She was delivering babies in a hospital when she was 13.

You enjoy your little circle here guys, I don’t give a ****. China will never accept responsibility for this, they never tell the truth about anything.

And I still want to know, jokes aside, wether I or anyone else meant it or not, why I get warned and my comment removed when it was the exact same comment?

Great, you've known a grand total of one Chinese experience. Do you know how many Koreans I know, how long I lived there, and how many hours per week I spend with my head in Korean culture, and yet how hesitant I am to make calls about the government and society?

You need to stop and doubt your knowledge of China more. Much, much more. Any fool can crap on about governments in poor developing countries. That's piss easy. They're almost always rubbish, brutal and corrupt. This is not some trivial brand that can be influenced by Facebook outrage; 1.4B people aren't going away. But they would benefit from more solutions and less scapegoating and vitriol, something which looks particularly pathetic coming from an Anglosphere with monumental problems of its own.
