    My belief right now is merely that China is much more complex than I previously thought. I don’t think you’re necessarily arguing in good faith here.

      lmfao the Tankie says my argument isn’t in good faith, that I’m not being fair and I should consider Human Rights violations and Dictatorships are tolerable evils.

      Thanks for that input.

        I never said any of that. That’s a huge emotional reaction to a very minor argument from me. Maybe you should take a deep breath and think about things first.

          By promoting Chinese economic policy, as you absolutely have, you’re intentionally promoting their government which have always been and are currently committing massive harm. You are asking all of us to consider that those harms, those crimes against humanity, are worthwhile.

          You yourself are not tolerant of others, the dictatorship you have voiced your support of have proven time and time again that they would kill off all others and force their ideology on all remaining. If I ran this community you would be instantly banned here because we do not tolerate the intolerant.

          This is not a minor argument.

            I’m not promoting or supporting anything. All I’ve said is that while China has done a lot of evil things, they have also increased the standard of living for their own people massively. They’re doing good things to keep life liveable. I’m not being intolerant of detractors, I myself was a detractor of China as a whole until last night. I will research myself to find my opinions about China instead of being force fed one by western liberal media. This is called learning.
