Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's wild considering chinese citizens have been untrusting of chinese products for decades and get infant formula and cosmetics from other countries after they found out their milk was poisoned with plastic. https://www.scmp.com/business/companies/article/3051808/foreign-brands-still-dominate-parents-do-not-trust-chinas-home

tl;dr:

A consumer boycott in China over a planned release of water from the Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant is threatening to hurt Japanese cosmetics makers. Chinese internet users have began compiling lists of Japanese brands, questioning their safety, with a hashtag on the issue attracting about 300 million views on China's equivalent of Twitter, Weibo. Some internet users are also pushing for more firms to be boycotted, with recent lists adding baby products and food brands, and even Chinese brands using Japanese raw materials. Still, some are confident it's a passing fad. There's likely to be a minor impact on Japanese cosmetics firms with a government ban unlikely, Jefferies analyst Mitsuko Miyasako wrote in a note Friday. Jeanie Chen, a senior equity analyst at Morningstar Research Inc., said she didn't think the impact on the Japanese brands will be substantial.
