Such anti-China sentiments worry me because these are precisely the kinds of thinking (on both sides) that lead to over-generalisation and refusal to be in one another’s shoes.

Imagine 20 years from now Mars settlement has started to become reality. And most earthlings are still stuck at the primitive notions of dividing people and labeling things in overly generalised categories like the abstract notions of sovereign states.

I just hope when we have finally colonised Mars people who settle down in this otherworld are not as divided as we currently are.

No doubt martians will find other silly ways to divide themselves.

    Domers rule, ok?
    Tunnels Tunnels #1! #1!

    We use sols.
    They use mars seconds.
At least martians will be able to agree their chronology has a Year Zero?
