Fraud in China. Huh.
Seems like a bad take. This is from the equivalent of some random YouTube video, unrelated to the original university & scientists.
You think it'd be possible to find a YouTube video with some bad science nonsense in it? Would that warrant a "fraud in the US, huh" comment?
Separately, science in China does have a fraud problem. But this video wasn't an example of that.
I mean your example is still accurate. The person posting that video is a fraud, and if they live in America, "fraud in the US" would be most accurate as it singles out a specific person, as opposed to the statement I believe you are trying to make which would be don't judge the whole country by 1 person. Yet they didn't say that, they specifically say a fraud(singular) in China.
i mean the point they were trying to make is pretty clear imo no need to dance around it so pedantically.
Is it though or are you personally just projecting? Considering the language used.
They better be careful otherwise the world won't take them seriously anymore, oh wait.
