Are people just living in a fantasy world when it comes to China, is that it? If we pretend their government is Snow White to Americas Evil Queen we won't have to face the fact they're actually more like Attila the Hun, whatever the US is or isn't?

Pretty appalling, but also rather unsurprising on who voted which way. *NM*

As noted, the difference is we don't execute people for it, nor condone those who do.

It was the inference at a continent level, that I felt was very simplistic.

Generalizations are inherently simplified; that doesn't make them inaccurate.

In practice it usually means they use non-offensive meaningless euphemisms lest someone object.
