Only because of your political biases.

I'm sorry, this is a little unclear. The idea that a lab having an accident is reasonable because of my "political biases"? Are Chinese labs any different from Western labs, where this would also be entirely possible?

Or is it calling the Chinese dictatorship a dictatorship that's supposed to show my supposed "political biases"? I didn't realize pointing out directly observable facts has become so politically charged and controversial.
