I see. More crime listing.

America is currently funding and arming the complete extermination of the palastinian people via Israel.

There's the tit for tat.

Now, to attempt to better explain what I'm trying to get across cause you missed it. I am not excusing China, they have, are and will continue to do fucked up things. But EVERY conversation about China does not need to be about those crimes. Just like how we can talk about something American like idk, fuckin super bowl or something and no one's gonna stop that talk to start naming atrocities we've committed from a list.

Or how we can talk about France without mentioning how abhorrent the economic stranglehold they have over their "former" colonies in North and West Africa.

China should be able to be talked about in that same way. There are things they as a people AND as a state have done well and is worth looking into and learning from.

But if every fucking time China gets brought up and your dumby brain ๐Ÿง  Immediately starts listing off atrocities then you can't have any of those conversations. It's a conversation killer. It's a mental wall errected carefully across the minds of every American due to our schools And news which have told us since birth "China bad". That's my problem.

Do you see the nuance here? Do you see my point yet? Did I explain it good? I'm genuinely trying here but you just did the thing I said you would do and I'm worried that your not even listening, that the wall in your brain ๐Ÿง  has appeared between me and you. And I'm just trying to talk to you and get my perspective across. You dont gotta change your mind, just acknowledge that you understand my perspective here.

You don't give a shit about Chinese people. You only care about the CCP.

BTW, I lived in China for years.

Okay. Now we've just resorted to lying instead of... Talking normally. You didn't even read anything that I said you just guessed. Said some bullshit. Told a lie for credibility and moved on. There's no further conversation here.

Okay. Go save face and ignore CCP aggression in SEA.

Also Israel is a disgrace for its genocide and war crimes.

I hope you will be able to speak out against the upcoming Chinese war against Taiwan.

If you had read what I had said you wouldn't have said what you just said but you didn't. Why would I carry on a conversation with someone who keeps trying to argue despite very clearly not reading what I had to say?
