I wasn't commenting on your morality and I probably could have phrased it more neutrally. I wanted to point out that China's actions aren't a mystery, so the scenario that you appeared to phrase as a possibility/hypothetical is more clear cut than that. I honestly found it odd that you'd phrase it with "as long as I don't think..." as if China's actions aren't well established.
My last sentence "Or maybe those people just aren't anyone you care about" isn't necessarily some kind of veiled insult, it's a real position that some people hold and one that I offered as an option. There was actually a reply to my comment (it's currently flagged so you may not be able to see it) that implied China's actions are justified because Falun Gong is a separatist group. This kind of reasoning is not uncommon in Chinese nationals, among others.

So that said, sorry for taking offense. I guess I am on edge recently.
