Way to speedrun your argument being shit. I am now free to not take it seriously.

I'll reply for the other onlookers anyway.

> The Great Leap Forward

I know quite well about how awful China was to its own citizens during Mao years, thank you very much.

The thing is, I don't care. China can be as awful as it wants to be to it's own citizens.

The US has a very long list of spying and interfering (many times very violently) abroad. That is what I am concerned about, and that was the point I was replying to.

I could say something along the lines of you needing to educate yourself, but I tend to not seed asphalt.

> The Tibetan government in exile believes as many as 1.2 million Tibetans died as a result of Mao's invasion of Tibet in 1949.

Again, I don't care. China sees places like Tibet and Taiwan as China. Not my problem.

China never threated to send troops to invade Greenland.

> People who are genuinely interested in justice, human rights and peace should be horrified by what both the US and China have done.

In many ways, I am. But that is not what is being discussed here.

Way to speedrun proof that you're an abhorrent person.

So China causing more than a million deaths and displacements when it actually invaded a functionally sovereign state (Tibet) and threatening to invade and seize Taiwan, which has its own democratically-elected government, constitution, currency, central bank, military, etc. "is not your problem" but somehow Trump threatening to invade Greenland is your problem?

Unless you're a Greenlander, by your own standard, you have no legitimate reason to care about the ~57,000 people who live in Greenland. Let China take Taiwan, and let the US have Greenland.

You're a real piece of...work.
