I guarantee that you would be cooking up these conspiracy theories regardless of any investigations that China had allowed. They could have shipped every citizen of Wuhan straight to your house so you could personally interview them and it still wouldn't be enough.

I guarantee that you are just another bot set up to deflect any negative comments about China regardless of how credible they seem.

Regardless of how credible they seem

Where's the credibility? All you do is call people bots because you can't handle being disagreed with. Where's your factual basis for your claims? Where's your trustworthy sources and references? You have nothing except childish racism and insults

They don't have any factual basis. They're an incredibly bitter small minded racist. They've been posting the same shit on almost every thread they're in. It's really sad to to see. As much as we teach our children about tolerance and acceptance you still get people like this with their warped views. They're too far down the rabbit hole of racism to notice so will just lash out at anyone by calling them a bot. It's pathetic.

:yea: what's really sad is that it seems like they think they're in some sort of brave fight against evil Chinese propaganda, which there's apparently dedicated a lot of resources to spread on a niche webforum

You could just stop being racist. It's really easy not to get called a racist actually. I do it all the time. I don't get called a racist daily.

You can't just assume someone is racist because they disagree with you. It's like calling you antisemitic for criticizing Israel. They brought up that China shouldn't have blocked initial investigations and instead of replying with any facts yourself, you immediately jumped to assuming they're racist and how they would've behaved if they hadn't.

I'm not assuming people are racist because they disagree with me. I'm pointing out that their gut-reaction accusation of calling others a "chinese bot" is racist.
This has nothing to do with disagreeing. I made no assumptions, I pointed out racist language and behaviour.

They brought up that China shouldn't have blocked initial investigations and instead of replying with any facts yourself

Other users have already engaged with them in this argument, to which they responded with racist accusations of being "chinese bots".
Since they have already shown that this is how they behave, and since I have similarly pointed this out to them - which also resulted in childish racism as a response from them - why would I in any way validate them with civility?
