You say that like China accepts the ICC. They don't. They never signed the treaty either.

I get really tired of this: I can't condemn more than one bad thing in the world at a time. No criticism of others unless your country has proven itself to be a saint first. That's terrible: you advocate letting some off for terrible acts. We (you included) should be condemning terrible things everywhere you see them.

This is a standard defense tactic, sometimes called "What-about-isms" and is a Trump favourite, as it happens.

There are some topics for some people where they'll dig in and won't see reason whatsoever. China (for Chinese nationals) is a common one when you can bring up any number of subjects, the "re-educations camps" being just one.

But, but, but... what about US internment of Japanese descendants in WW2? Or the genocide of Native Americans? Or slavery?

That's how it goes. Sadly.

The magnitude is important. We overlook the magnitude because it's hard to comprehend numbers like one million people, but it's often the most important.

PS: I think you meant "condemn" not "condone".

Yep, my mistake.
