We put a lot of stock in personal stories, but we also pay a lot for incriminating evidence against China.

Do you know about the 1 child policy (That was recently ended?) And how that affects this? Because I actually looked into it. But I bet an online personality won't change your mind. So I won't even bother.

Remember America didn't forcefully sterilize anyone. We just straight up bombed them, raped them, and shot them.

Your biases are showing.

Yikes, I was specifically referring to Muslims, but yeah looks like America isn't even better than that.
