Have you been reading my posts? They are completely against Chinese Communism. Every single one of them.

Are the Chinese all Chicoms just because they are ethnically Chinese?

Are the Indians all freedom fighting conservatives just because they are ethnically Indian and not muslim?

The facts of reality speak otherwise. There are millions of freedom-loving Chinese who crave for greater freedoms of expression and religion, and if one so chooses to look, one can easily find them in the internet, in blogs and forums. They may speak against their government, but do they have to also speak against the ENTIRE people in order to be not "propagating"? No.

I don't support the Chinese Communists, but I am unwilling to paint the Chinese with a single brush just to demonize the Chicoms. That's not apologizing for the government, that's seeing things the way it is, and being more informed rather than opinionated. This gives us more strategy for countering the Chinese Communist government.

When we speak of chicoms, we mean the govt. of china. Not all chinese. They set the policies and make the remarks for international consumption. How hard is that to understand?
