    Except in this case there’s no murder. China is accused of reducing birth rates, not mass killing. Regardless of whether the accusation is true, any serious person can see there’s a very clear difference.

    Also, you can definitely be charged with murder if you were critical in providing the murder weapon and facilitating the murder.

        Every other genocide in history has been accompanied by mass killing and mass detention and mass displacement. That’s what makes genocide the crime of crimes. It’s a horror with no parallel.

        I think there’s a serious problem if you can have a bloodless genocide by technicality.
