I'm all in favour of US citizens and Chinese citizens talking to each other like people rather than through their governments' political propaganda, but if one result is this sort of whataboutism then that's hugely depressing
And the old talking points aren't working anymore.
Anytime someone brings up the Uyghur people or Tiananmen or anything, American's are just like, "Gestures broadly to Palestine/War On Terror/Patriot Act/Climate Change/Oligarchs/Gerontocracy"

To make this about me, I have consistently argued that while South Korea shares some US interests, it does not share all of them. And neither does the region: we are still getting Asia wrong. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Here's a chilling account of what might have happened if Yoon's plans worked, how they were obstructed by delays that allowed the National Assembly to resist. +Potential collusion with conservative party, role of Han faction in breaking with party, jail plans for Gwacheon, Yoon's mental state...
윤석열 정신상태는... 계엄 당일, 국민들은 운이 좋았을 뿐
짧지만 강력했던 내란의 밤에 얽힌 이야기들이 조금씩 드러나고 있다. 겉으로는 어설픈 쿠데타에 자멸한 것처럼 보이지만, 일촉즉발의 순간들은 곳곳에 있었다. 사실 계엄을 합법적으로 해제할 수 있는 국회만 초기에 봉쇄하면, 소규모의 계엄군으로도 충분히 승기를 잡을 수 있는 일이었다. 애초의 계획대로라면 포고령 1...

A few random thoughts about Yoon's attempted coup/martial law:
1. It is so outrageous I am having trouble getting my head around it. I was in Korea in 1987 and I remember martial law. This is one of the dumbest moves by a Korean president in its history.
2. Yoon's fate is sealed...

Folks in D.C. ignored his domestic train wreck because he was playing nice with Japan and he sang a song at the White House. That was obviously missing the forest for the trees. His entire foreign policy will be repudiated, and relations with Japan will be radioactive.
