I don't understand why so many people appear to freak out if you criticize China. It seems one can criticize everyone and everything back and forth, but if you are criticizing China you are at least whatabouted to death.

No one is freaking out about it. The problem is that your comment doesn't make any sense. Invoking China is a non-sequitur. Like, sir this is a Wendy's.

I don't hate China. This is a simple fact. Just read the statistics.

Provide "the" statistics... As if it's that simple, sure there's one source we are all going to trust. Also as a country that's appreciated wealth in the last 30 years at a staggering rate, all the numbers are going to be relatively bigger.

I agree that china has loads it could be doing better, but you harp on this shit in every discussion, meanwhile the usa is actively and openly threatening canadians. To me it reads like your the one what-about-china-ing every fucking discussion.

you are criticizing China you are at least whatabouted to death.

Nobody whatabouted you at all in this discussion you just brought it up out of nowhere, and provided no means to validate it.
