> First, you asked about the US when this article is about China, a very well known tactic, thank you very much.

I'm American. I'm much more well versed in American issues and this is the first story that popped into my mind which I can bring up as a parallel.

As I clarified, as I couldn't read the full article, I am admitting I don't know - it would be great if the article had clarified down the way on what exactly their position is and someone had quoted it.

> If you want to criticize the US go ahead in the appropriate thread, there's plenty to criticize.

I love American thank you very much.
