Your last sentence is a classic diversion tactic. It's obvious that GP doesn't have a problem with Chinese persons, but with the Chinese government and regime. That's like when people criticise Putin and someone replies "oh so you hate Russian people?"
- godelmachine 6y agoExactly. From here onwards I am going to use "CCP", so that there's no scope for confusion about being acrimonious towards the Chinese people or their glorious culture. It's a great civilization, rich in its heritage, but Mao has made things go south.
- thaumasiotes 6y ago> It's obvious that GP doesn't have a problem with Chinese persons, but with the Chinese government and regime. Not really; the boycott of Chinese goods is very much targeted at Chinese people and not so much the Chinese government. Note that godelmachine hasn't made a criticism of the CCP at all; he's criticizing a pen company for being Chinese. On the assumption that that's not really what godelmachine thinks is wrong with Baoke, how would they respond to make him feel better about interacting with them?
