    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.

        Ah yes, because we aren’t allowed to compare things right? It would be terrible if your country looked worse than the ones you demonize so hard.

        Okay for me but not for thee
