Any criticism of China can be construed as being pro-US and we can't have that. Criticism of Chinese traditional medicine, which is a forcing function for the endangering and extinction of species across the globe, is also unacceptable since criticism of any aspect of a culture is just racism (unless it's the one culture that's okay to criticize). As long as the truth doesn't match what the preferred narrative is we'll continue to suffer the consequences, which is true of so many things beyond just attitudes towards China.

Many of us in China are absolutely saying Chinese Traditional Medicine is garbage and there s no "western medicine", just medicine. It's not racist in China to say the truth, why is it where you are ? You probably live in an oppressive political regime with a biparty dictating what you can think ? :P

So welcome for treating diarrhea symptoms (despite my initial skepticism) when loperamide wasn't available while I was traveling in China!
