Significant suicide rates can be worrying in multiple places. I don't see where anyone is making this a US vs China thing
Do you see a problem between screaming "10% increase China suicide" versus staying quiet about "500% increase USA suicide"? If you cannot, take a scissors and snip your internet cables.
I am not a CIA shill so I also call out China haters and USA bootlickers. I am concerned 50x more about USA suicide rates than that of China, you see. I am concerned about reality, where the bigger concern needs more attention. But some people focus on 0.01% problem because they are deluded or malicious.
I did what? You... know how to check who is a moderator, right? LOL
Please edit your comment to not include a racist dogwhistle
(It is CPC not CCP)
Is it really that hard not to be using the language of racists? Like is this really a hill you need to be dying on?
That's me, not the admins. Stop being racist when you (inaccurately) criticize China and your comments won't be deleted. If you can't help but be racist when you criticize China then you'll keep getting them deleted.
The problem is there are always comments like these: https://lemm.ee/comment/4359032
Adding context is obviously necessary.
