I understand this may not be the right place to ask people to think critically about issues, but at least I wish people know what they're talking about, not what they think or imagine the issue is.

The following is the so-called "draft guideline" in Chinese, which was published to call for public comments:

The Chinese government is doing its job trying to regulate the treatment just days after the critical incidents and this is more formal policy draft. The title would be more appropriate to say: Chinese government propose to ban... What's so wrong about it?

I know for a fact thousands of American gay youth are still being checked into similar boot camps to rid of the gayness in them. When would the US Ministry of Health take a stand on the issue instead of hiding behind the religious freedom principle?

How many times do I have to say? It's the economy, stupid.

Since when the former slave traders become such kind-hearted patronages? When your country sits on the sidelines watching the Africans starved to death, or sets unacceptable political conditions for every cent's aid, China at least sends in investments and builds the factories and roads.

In the 1980s China first opened up its own country for the west to exploit. We didn't complain about the low pay. We tighten our belt and save every penny we can to build our country. The Africans can too, and China is giving them a chance.

If you're not doing anything better than this, please don't get in the way.
