- I don't think there was any name calling in my postings above. "Nonsense" is an accurate judgement on what you wrote here. You are mis-using the word 'name calling", buddy. I am just a common Chinese expressing my own opinions and I am not representative of anybody, any party of any group.

Meng impressed me by not only defending and explaining her native country but being polite about answering questions about it. We may not agree but she was quite friendly about it.
