FWIW, I very much appreciated the flip and was surprised it got a rise. Relatedly, I have used a Anihc Technique when discussing with my family on the over-reach of China's military and Secret Police outside of China. I use the 2013 case of how China's Ministry of State Security (MSS) pursued the organizers of the 2013 Tiananmen Square Attack. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Tiananmen_Square_attack> The "Uighur 8" terrorists escaped Xinjiang and ultimately made it to Mexico to sneak across the border near Nogales and holed up in a small compound near Patagonia, AZ. The Chinese MSS launched a secret drone strike killing the 8. Unfortunately, there was a wedding going on at the Circle Z Ranch <https://www.circlez.com/> where 3 Americans were killed and 12 injured. The renewal of the TPA negotiations were going on and Obama and the CIA covered this up as a fake propane tank explosion negotiations on track. Fox News and Breittbart have a longstanding FOIA request for AmeriGas response records but this has been stonewalled and redacted for 7 years trying to uncover this story. Shouldn't China be held accountable to those American Families? How could Obama allow China to get away with launching a drone attack on sovereign US soil? Here's the Chinese Account of the Story: 同志们，当然，中国没有在亚利桑那州进行无人驾驶飞机攻击，我将其用作美国在也门使用无人机的类比 <https://www.hrw.org/report/2014/02/19/wedding-became-funeral/us-drone-attack-marriage-procession-yemen> 。
