      @[email protected] is describing the standard judgement process of liberals. Western countries are typically judged on their stated intentions, eg Biden claiming to have done everything he could to get a ceasefire in Gaza, while actually supplying Israel with everything they needed.

      Liberals, however, do not extend such courtesy to non-Western countries, and moreover tend to accept the narrative most pushed in the media about such countries despite distorting the quantity and quality of events.

          It seems to me that you’re guilty of being evasive, like when I asked you to clearly state your position on the quantity and quality of the re-education camps in Xinjiang. You’re just wasting your own time more than anything, by lacking a firm and coherent stance and sources to support your argument, you weaken every statement you make.

            not me.

            1. I’m reporting facts rather than judging

            2. there’s no bias on the east or west from my comments.

            obviously I can’t speak for the bias if all of these other excited commenters.

            I’m interested in actions and intentions, regardless of country.

            not just actions and intentions, but complete historical events within context.

              No you aren’t

              there’s no bias on the east or west from my comments.

              Yes there is.
