Equating the democratic free world to the direct victims in Xinjing, Tibet, Hong Kong, and those in the rest of China, is going too far I think.


Insisting that the world use specific doublespeak about a sensitive issue is not rape - nor is it really all that humiliating.


It is a humiliation

This is exactly the line of reasoning which lead the free world into this predicament.

There are definitely battles that need to be had with the CCP, but this argument of semantics isn't one of them.


It exactly is. You will never defeat an enemy if you can't defeat it in your own head.

It's your Resolve. The Resolve is needed to strike an enemy.

A nation ridden with "deeply concerneds," and "strongly condemners" cannot come to consensus, and understand that an action is needed.
