      China had a long history of fraudulent science that they need to dig out of to gain a good reputation.

        Nothing like the very highly reliable pharmaceutical “science” done in the US, amirite?

        Its not like we ever had “science” come from the US that said an extremely powerful opioid wasn’t addictive, amirite?

        Do you know what “collaboration” means?

        It’s almost like they’ve got peers all over the world looking at their data!

            You don’t think uncritical and nationalistic dismissal of the “enemy’s” achievements as they must be both strong and weak has a place under “aggressive or exaggerated patriotism?”

            I guess that just makes them a racist then.

              As far as I can tell by their comment history they are American, so I don’t know how is trusting France to be “nationalistic”. Or “patriotic”. Or aggressive, for that matter. Not a hint of militarisitc feeling either.

              I might be racist too, because I don’t trust what comes out of China as much as what comes from France. Or Germany. Or Switzerland. Or Japan. Or south Korea. Or Australia. Or India. Or Kenya. Yes, it must be racism.

                  First of all, leave the goalpost where it was and re-read the definition of the word. Nowhere it mentions allies, friends, or the wife of your cousin’s neighbor. So on that you were dead wrong.

                  Second, if one trusts Japan or South Korea but not China… You say it’s because of racism. There is no aaaany other reason. Not at all? Really?

                  I love the little downvotes, I hope they help with your frustration. Keep them up!
