The vehement rejection of it out of not wanting to anger China speaks volumes to its credibility. The truth is always the opposite of what that regime says. No

The vehement rejection of it out of not wanting to anger China speaks volumes to its credibility. The truth is always the opposite of what that regime says. Nothing happened in Tiananmen Square -> We massacred pro democracy students There is no food shortage -> There is a food shortage We are not interning Uighers in concentration camps -> We are doing ethnic cleansing on native populations Taiwan is not a country -> Taiwan is a fully sovereign state So, applying that same logic, it's pretty easy to figure this one out. On top of that, people trying to somehow decry that this is "republican" or "racist" are ignorant themselves, facts stand on their own merit, and there is nothing racist about any of these accusations. It is a pathetic appeal to partisan identity politics where there should be none.
