All I have to do is point out the historical and /or geopolitical context of why China is doing (instead of just shout a few evil chicom die, die, die slogans) and I'll be pretty sure to be tagged by the slogan shouter as a commie sympathizer. So it goes, just another day in the demagoguery corner of FR.
For the record, I happened to lean towards pro-Taiwan independence as well as Tibetan independence (go ahead, look it up, I'm sure you have done it by now, probably already disappointed that you can't call me a newbie). I just happen to understand the rationale of China's action - I don't have to agree with it, but i know where they are coming from and the context behind it - and it helps me to know where they are going. But if you prefer to have them as some unfathomable bogeyman, well, have it your way ... :)
