Contrary to popular belief (especially among people from the west), not everything from Russia and China is terrible, oppressive and meant to destroy everything freedom-ish.
But, yeah, it's still a terrible idea.

- MoOmer 14y agoTactics like this are used to sanction and limit the West, whilst the proposing parties will go around and violate the rule without regard to reprimand. They'll be quick to point it out when someone else violates it, though.

- hobin 14y agoDid you not read the whole comment? It's not that long. The second line states "But, yeah, it's still a terrible idea." You may have missed that I wrote that comment because mtgx's comment implied that only bad ideas can come from these countries, which seemed excessively anti-Chinese and anti-Russian to me.
