The next question is why are people defending China so hard here? Near 1/2 the posts here look like they’re from the $0.50 party.

Because claims need to be backed up by evidence, even if we love to proceed with prejudice.

So this means we promote the positive side of a gov that tramples daily on human rights? Are people on this forum literal robots?

Please, let's not go down that road. It's unnecessary to politicize everything and turn to hyperboles.

Nobody here is promoting anything when we're saying that from a purely technical perspective this report alone is not enough to justify the claims being made. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, but no evidence has been provided whatsoever, so it's perfectly fair to challenge the validity of the claims.

What extraordinary claims? And what evidence has not been provided unless you don’t watch the news? It’s quite public the atrocities the chinese gov has committed. So no, it’s very necessary to politicize this and using your own logic you’ve provided no evidence as to why we shouldn’t.
