One would think you were more qualified to critique how said monies are dispersed in your homeland of China. You guys have freedom of speech there...right?

 

Interesting ... we've had a frodoz737 here for fifteen years and a month, and tochatihu for even longer (me, somewhere in between) but I don't remember there always being this need on the one's part to always make gibes about the other being employed in China. I'm not sure I can place how long ago that bit started.

Here in the US, I live near a busy place where research happens. A lot of people of a lot of other nationalities come here and do research. I'm not sure that makes the US their 'homeland' necessarily, or gives them expert opinions on US politics necessarily, or makes them somehow responsible for US politics, or means they can't stay informed or have opinions about the places they are from.

I'm not sure why that would be any different for a Westerner doing research at a Chinese place where research happens.

 

Can't attack the message, so you attack the messenger.

 

Right ....... there haven't been attacks on man-made global warming gobble-dee goop here for years & years? Nobody said maturity was a main character trait on chat sites. Usually the next thing you hear is, "well - they started it"

Really?
Isn't there a thread here on the virus that came from China? An environmental issue?
You don't think some research doctors in China have ever mysteriously disappeared ? - that is - when they stupidly tried to voice where the virus Ground Zero was?
Maybe folks here should research to what happens to Muslims in China when they don't do what they're told.
Bottom line, you can't have truth when the state is telling you - "or else". Just responding with, "or else what" might make you disappear.

how does that relate to one members constant criticism of another?

 

I'm not even sure so much it's criticism—that usually involves some creative thought. It seems like for a year or so it's been frodoz737's whole shtick to just respond to any tochatihu post with some variation on "you work in China so pbbbt."

I haven't really gone back over older frodoz737 posts to see when that became the whole shtick, but I don't remember that being always the case. I almost think I remember a time when I would read frodoz737 posts with interest.
