    I need you to tell me that you understand that cancer is a bigger existential threat than China. You understand that right? You know even one single woman?

    How does more people understanding breast cancer threaten existence?!

      I don’t know man, I know like eight people killed by the Chinese government and they weren’t even smokers. According to the WHO, the Chinese government kills 2/3 of a million people every year. No, wait, that isn’t right…

      It’s so wild that in this thread people are both saying the chinese are worse than cancer but also that there’s no racism against them. Olympic level of mental gymnastics going on.

        Conflating a hostile nation with a race is the true racism, tbh. It would be like saying Taiwan or Hong Kong are all Chinese, that’s just wrong and offensive.

      Because the Chinese Government get a big fat paycheck out of it and they use that paycheck to fucking destroy people’s lives, put people in labor camps, topple governments, monetize every facet of everyone’s lives, and push their own authoritarian regime’s agenda.

      Breast cancer does not only affect women, but I feel empathy for the Uighur women that China has been sterilizing and putting in slavery.
