There’s a parable here that is horrible apt: The NAZI’s ordered the murder of the Jewish people, but it was the German rank and file citizen that made the gas flow, and the ovens burn. I don’t think we can separate the government of China from its people. Did you forget about the recent leak of communist party members and how they’ve worked their way into senior government, and business positions?

American people aren’t against climate change and exited Paris Climate Accord, the Trump administration did. Ordinary Chinese citizen did not censor the reporters, the government did. Your Nazi example makes no sense. I assume you can put some blame on the people who made the gas if they know its purpose. But you wouldn’t blame every German national during WWII for Genocide.

So you tell me: Who operates the Chinese concentration camps?
