well, I beg to differ ... in the Asian world there’s a concept called “face,” as in ‘saving face’ that is critically important. It has to do with image/perception and honor, as it is defined within that culture.

For a solitary Chinese citizen to have violently killed at least one American tourist, related to an Olympic participant no less, would be seen as a loss of face. It shows their control was inadequate. Lose “face” and it’s hari-kari time. Someone in the security area of the Chinese government will pay.

There is no comparable ‘face: ir shame factor, ever. under any circumstances, among Dems.

You give the ChiComs far more credit and respect than they have earned.

They are evil scumbag and don't give a damn about human rights or human life.

All they care about is power. Power over their people now. Power over the Pacific rim in the near future. Power over America after that.

All they care about is making themselves look rightful rulers. If they can't pull that off, then they'll happily settle for the people living in terror. That's it.
