If art left true of actuality,it’s lifeless.If one day you can arrive at China, you will see people live in China not like you imagine that.and real china was not described very evil by the western.

I feel two ways about this topic.
YES china does have done some truly horrific things to Tibet.
But if you corrupt peoples thoughts from when they are born how are they truly to know right from wrong?
And there are hundreds of millions of people in china. Not everyone has the same views and opinions as those who cause the chaos…
That’s just how I see it…
