This article correctly notices at the very start that asking this question is of no value in resolving the current situation. Then the author seems to think they've uncovered a massive secret instead of continuing the thought.
Who wants this question in the public's mind? What are their goals in constantly pushing it, even though it does nothing to improve people's lives? What are the actual effects of pushing this question as if it was important?

I think it's better to not contribute to an environment of hatred towards large groups of people. Is the question potentially interesting? Sure, I suppose. But there's a huge difference between idly thinking about something and telling everybody else that they should as well. The latter has consequences, and you can't just ignore them.
- Vaslo 5y agoSo we should hide information because it might cause people to have a negative view towards the country of China? How about this - let all information, whether it goes with your far left anti-racist view or not, be put freely out to the public and let the public decide how they want to react. Of course some people will take it to the extreme, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t entitled to this info. Anyone who lost a loved one, had their livelihoods reduced, or fell ill absolutely deserve to know what was done and what steps we are going to take to never allow it to happen again. I never need censorship of any information by anyone, no matter how noble or misguided their deed.
