> Now you just dropped five links in an attempt to demonstrate that Chinese aggression is comparable to US aggression, and yet none of those incidents amounted to extrajudicial execution (aka murder), which is what the person with the throwaway account was referencing.

China engages in the extrajudicial execution of its own citizens.

China even runs a large network of "overseas police stations" to track and intimidate overseas Chinese, including dissidents.

And China doesn't just target plebs. Government officials literally disappear too.

I personally believe that the US has committed a significant number of crimes. That doesn't mean I'm blind to the fact that other countries commit crimes too.

I'm not sure why so many people struggle to acknowledge that all of this stuff is evil, regardless of the country doing it.

> For all you know, that throwaway account is someone who uses this site for professional development ...

Normal people using sites like this for professional development don't decide to create throwaway accounts post a single response to one short comment, buried in the context of a larger thread, that wasn't even highly downvoted or upvoted. This is what troll farms do and I'd have to question your intellectual honesty if you keep pretending that this isn't exactly what China-sponsored troll farm commenting looks like.
