So, you’re pro-Communist China, is that what you’re saying?

Don’t put words into my mouth, twerp.
Just because one likes China and Chinese people, doesn’t mean that one has to like the government.

Several of us like China and its people too. Unlike some, we are not fans and apologists for the ChiComs though.

I’m not a fan or an apologist of the Chinese government. You claim to like China and its people, but your statements fail to recognize any separation between the government and its people.

No, VR didn’t quote me at all.

Point me to any such statements. Every post of mine criticizes the chicoms and I’ve repeatedly posted about not confusing my stances with any dislike for Chinese people.
You, OTOH, deliberately chose to post some platitudes about the “anti-China crowd.”

If people who are sad about the murder of an innocent tourist are “anti-China,” where does that leave you as a “pro-China” fan?

You’re more than slightly annoying. Where did I say that I was a pro-China fan?
FR is full of China haters and there are already people trying to politicize this terrible incident.

Chicom is not exactly a term that separates China's people from its government.
