Taiwan did it, too!
This is pathetic and childish, and a fallacy, and it is a pattern in your posting behavior.
Note that Philokalia apparently strives to justify the USA's racist double standard
toward *US citizens* of Chinese ancestry by claiming that China particularly
monitors some of its minority citizens. Does Philokalia hold US citizens of
Chinese ancestry responsible for whatever China's government does?
Not at all. It makes sense that Chinese citizens feel beholden to the Chinese government because they themselves, their families, and their associates will face tyrannical treatment if they do not follow the Party line. Thus, we should pay attention to Chinese citizens in order to help them through granting asylum, and in order to seek out the Communist spies among them on their own behalf.
The fight is not against Chinese people, but against the Communist tyrants who infiltrate expat communities in America to wreak havoc.
Chinese people understand the threat far more than any regular Americans do, and would know exactly why it is a difficult position for Chinese citizens and Communist party associaties to be granted access to US state secrets or research vital to American interests. There's nothing remotely controversial about this.
Everyone is entitled to take acts to protect state secrets, are they not?
Indeed, your country bans its own citizens from leaving China when it wants, surely some restrictions to access to state secrets by the US is not unmerited?
If the US does a policy that the Chinese Communists do, how can yuo condemn them? Indeed, we do it far more liberally than the Communists.
The post that was quoted here has been removedNo you claimed I had made racist comments about China and it’s people, I demand that you produce these comments in quotation marks or apologise for making the accusation.
You won’t though you’ll just keep on lying and then deflecting from the lies when you are called out in it.

The post that was quoted here has been removedNote that the duchess has failed to back her claim that I have made racist comments about China or the Chinese people or in fact racist comments of any kind about race.
Am I going to waste my time trawling the forums to find corroborating evidence to back my claim that I have on occasion called out anti Chinese racism, no I am not but I seem to recall that I definitely.
You are the accuser duchess so cough up the evidence.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidI know, I don’t understand why she doesn’t just stick to condemning actual racists and racism on this forum, there is more than enough to keep a person busy.
That's her MO.
I guess the accusation of racism and racist is just so much easier than actually winning a debate.
The post that was quoted here has been removedInterestingly, many people even in Britain (let alone the United States) would be shocked if they were told that they should think of Greece as part of "Eastern Europe", even though it borders Turkey, lies due south of Bulgaria, Romania, Western Ukraine, Western Belarus and the Baltic States, and stretches further east than Albania, Serbia, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland. This is because they still think of Eastern Europe in Cold War political terms, rather than in geographical ones.
Indeed, many Britons would probably classify Cyprus as part of Western Europe, when in geographical terms it's most properly regarded as a country in Western Asia.
