You can appease these "angry" people by being honest. Kind of like the opposite of the CCP. They didn't even have to get into this situation in the first place,

You can appease these "angry" people by being honest. Kind of like the opposite of the CCP. They didn't even have to get into this situation in the first place, and they don't have to keep their lot thrown in with that of the CCP. But I guess blaming the others for one's own action goes with the territory here.
