The senior opinion leader once disparaged as representing strident nationalism is now vocally against it, saying "China must stablize its relations with the entire West as much as possible."
Thank you for your insights on this sad situation. She was a kind heroic woman. The world needs more people like her, not the ever increasing hate mongers.
Hu Xijin is right to call out hate; it’s just not necessary. It’s not “free speech” (ie, free to espouse hateful speech) that makes a society free. It is “reasoned speech”.
A good discipline is to always give reasons for our views. We want a high “reason-to-noise” ratio (some “noise” is inevitable) in public discussion.
Hope relations are stabilized, but not without changes in China occurring first. Pressure must be applied, or the CCP will continue to do the same thing over and over again. It isn't about making fun of Presidential debates that need to change, as they aren't anything we don't say in the US, too.

An inspiration for all to aspire to. A true hero.
