ehhh there's some vocal idiots on chinese social media who don't represent anything close to a majority of the population, but they get amplified because pretending everyone in a country of 1.4 billion people is a toxic "nationalist" is the preferred avenue of attack for liberal commentators

Like idk, man, "this guy made me feel like I had no choice but to have sex with him, so I did. I definitely wasn't raped, but now I feel this sense of anguish now that I'm having a hard time putting my finger on. Maybe it's his wife's fault? Anyway I don't want to talk about this anymore." this is pretty standard rape victim stuff! It doesn't make the west's harrassment of her ok.

You cannot divorce the situation from previous CCP actions against individuals and groups that have spoken out against it. Your argument would apply if viewed in isolation with no regard to past events or actions taken at the time the accusations were made. This is not the first time individuals have made extended "absences" from the public spotlight following some sort of controversial event that was damaging to the CCP. Examples include Jack Ma's

like even in the last few pages of the discussion of the bogus social credit system (here using the term as a catch-all for the fictitious version dreamed up by us media in 2017/18 and latched onto by reddit guys who post +/- 200 social credit points on anything related to china) they get a basic fact wrong, which is that high-speed rail travel isn't totally restricted to violators, just the first-class sections of trains. but who cares? they're wrong about everything, all the time. if you try to go in there and poke holes in their insipid arguments one by one you WILL get probated, threadbanned or banned outright. you're fighting a losing battle.

the only sensible thing to do is delete the whole thing (along with gbs), but any admin who tried would get booted out and have their actions reversed.

this is exactly how I feel. I've lived in China for over half a decade. it's loving insane arguing with people who dont have any first hand experience that something exists when it doesn't. It's so frustrating, but every month or so 2 I get the urge to go in there, try to correct misunderstandings, and get probed lol.

I mean I get it. I just cant understand it, as hard as I try. Can you imagine the discussion in person? meeting someone who tells you something about where they're from, and you say "no, that's not true, I read some articles about it". ofc, there's perspective problems and no one person can know everything about everything, but if you're saying there's a system of arbitrary points that governs everyones lives, that's pretty loving visible. It's also hilarious because credit score in america is much more arcane and much more important. I wonder if the whole social credit thing is projection.

Yes he was an American fencer, his team mates all wore pink masks (COVID masks) as a call out as well

he was an alternate and ended up not actually competing, not that that makes it any better.

he had to practice alone, stay in an offsite hotel room alone, and was not allowed in the Olympic Village, so at least he was denied the 'Olympic Experience' he so desperately wanted. he basically just sat and stewed in a hotel room for two weeks.

which honestly makes the decision to bring him along even more inexcusable, because, like, you clearly considered him enough of a danger to his fellow athletes that you essentially locked him in a closet for the duration of the games, so why the gently caress did you even bring him in the first place? there's plenty of male fencers in the US, surely you could have just selected another alternate.

I believe they attempted to give him a suspension that would have lasted through the Olympics (and conceivably until the investigation was over) but a judge ordered it rescinded on the basis that if proper safety measures were adopted there was no good reason to leave him out. He then appealed the safety measures the organization adopted (the ones that ensured he had a lovely time) and lost.
