So once there’s public outcry, the government must issue an official, blue-background-white-text formal statement along with concrete handling results—and if the statement is poorly worded, they have to issue a revised one and even punish the person responsible for the initial announcement, right?
Classic "alarm clock" mentality.
Do you still remember the Zhu Ling case? Back then, tens of thousands of people on Tieba passionately circulated that petition or "application letter" addressed to the White House—what was the outcome again? Does anyone still recall how the White House brushed it off?
You don’t even realize how much your tantrum resembles an alarm clock.
Lao A’s Gundam assembly operation in the U.S. is essentially a gray-market industry. From county-level officials and local bureaucrats who need to "maintain order" while skimming some profits and political capital, to regional drug cartels that use Gundams to smuggle flour, rice, cooking oil, and other daily necessities, all the way down to the hundreds of thousands of workers whose livelihoods depend on this entire supply chain—it’s a textbook case of an enterprise deeply entrenched in both legal and illegal spheres.
You dare report him? Aren’t you afraid of ending up with eight bullets in your back and a staged "suicide"?
There’s absolutely no need for any “Long Live Mentor,” “Senior Brother,” or imam to protect him. Could it be that the U.S. government simply doesn’t care about Lao A telling stories? I’ve emphasized in several previous answers: don’t analyze America through a Chinese lens. From another perspective, might Americans actually view China—with its masses of “socialist infants”—as the abnormal society? They likely see themselves as normal humans and regard us as grotesque Cthulhu-like creatures dragging around grotesque tumors of systemic overgrowth.
P.S.: The above question is rhetorical—they genuinely believe this. I’ve interacted with many Americans and foreigners steeped in American ideology, and they widely consider China’s social welfare system unsustainable. That’s why their belief in the “China collapse theory” is utterly sincere.
