Chinese culture places undue importance on saving face at all costs.
If this was at all true, it would have been put out in February 2020, not in December 2024
don't act like you'd not have said the same shit then, as you do now.
if this was all true, it would have been put out in November 2019, when the first rumors started, not in February 2020
Yeah true, it would have been November 2019. I picked Feb because it was when things started getting out of control.
I blamed them then and decried how they suppressed evidence and news then, and I decry it now.
Lets also not forget that their "Sinovac" is actually "CanSinovac" as it was only possible for them to produce it at all thanks to Canadian lab work.
It's weird how anti Chinese racism is just accepted to the point some bigoted censored can just say "Chinese culture XYZ" and expect to be taken seriously.
You might have a point if I had not lived there and married into a chinese family, which is where that statement comes from.
That's cute, which of the several thousand recognized Chinese cultures did you marry into?
There isn't a single unified one, anymore than theres a white culture or Indian culture.
Let's put it a different way, I hear it's just a part of black culture to show bravado at all times. Now if you correctly recognize that as a racist statement, you can recognize the your precious nonsense as the racist shit it is.
And marrying someone of a race doesn't make you automatically not racist towards that race, you 'i have a black friend' excusing ass.
