This piece isn't about Americans or their reactions to this horrible situation.

so? I find it interesting to point out the double standard

I'm hardly the first Canadian to notice the insane ramp-up in anti-China sentiment from our American neighbours, especially given the stark contrast with the royal treatment given to the genocidal regime in Saudi Arabia.

Dismembered journalists, decapitated feminists and democratic activist teenagers, famine in Yemen, Senate voted to stop the war and Trump vetoed it... and yet HN is all China every day.

China isn't the only country that looks a lot like 1984 from the outside peering in.

Where do you see a double standard applied?

The way the US deals with Saudi Arabia vs. the way it deals with China.

And the disciplined way in which people here rationalize that status quo.
