Fair enough, my response was pretty keyed up too. I'm pretty touchy on the propaganda thing because it bothers me to see leftists (those who write the articles, I mean) repeating the CIA points.

I do think there's a discussion to be had on the precise methods of China's de-radicalization programs and such, and it's unfortunate the propaganda muddies the water so much and makes that harder. Hope you have a good day!
