China blocks Wikimedia from entering World Intellectual Property Organization

Watching James Bond this weekend made me sad. No mention of China at all, as the cause of many geopolitical crisis around the world, as well as the source of atrocious acts against muslims (go check out cnn's china whistlerblower interview recently that detailed the hanging of uighurs and raping of them). If you want a super evil villain, look no further than Xi Jing ping and the CCP, who has threatened literally most democracies (nuke Australia/Japan, conquer Taiwan), sent pirate ships to plunder all sealives around the world, continue to build up coal power plants to increase global warming, and let's not forget COVID.

Also, let's not forget CCP is the reason why North Korea still exists and why Vietnam is still a communist country.

The West really, really wants to shut its eyes on China very tight. We need to deny the West this comfort.

That's a paradoxal reaction. It's like somebody being raped tries to cover her face to not to see her rapist.

Not seeing a rapist doesn't change the ground reality of you still being raped. The correct action is not to use hands to cover your face, but to punch back the assailant.

I don't think it's fair to suggest China is "raping" the West. Hong Kong, maybe, but not the entire democratic world. At least, not yet.

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

> nor is it really all that humiliating.

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

The predicament where an organisation can't offend 1.4 billion people and push an unstable region further into instability.

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.

Facts make a better argument than histrionics.
