Killing the host is typically a pretty bad long term evolutionary strategy for something that requires a host though. Better to keep the host alive so it can proliferate you

They probably are. They probably aren’t covering them in English though, it’s not for English speaking audiences. China, as an example, has very publicly chastised the US for its countless human rights violations over the years. Many non-Western countries have.
You’re talking about my case here, but your case basically boils down to “I don’t see countries reporting on Western crimes in English, so it must not be happening” which…is certainly an argument you could make. Western countries have a horrible track record of reporting on their own crimes, and non Western countries probably aren’t writing lots of English articles for English speaking audiences because that isn’t who their readership is. I guess if you’re fluent in some other languages and spend a lot of time reading non Western media in non-English languages then you’d have a stronger argument here. I kinda doubt that though. And I bet if I did start pulling out less Western media sources that do report in English like Al Jazeera or RT I would be immediately called out for parroting anti-Western propaganda. It’s a real catch 22.
My argument is “Western governments fund propaganda efforts against their perceived competition, so stop parroting it as if it’s objective fact.” They don’t even hide that they’re doing it, it’s not like this is some nutter conspiracy theory. There is plenty to be critical of China for, but “Chinese Embassy Doing Embassy Things” isn’t one of them and only serves to fuel anti Asian racism and propaganda.

That’s my point, said article doesn’t exist, because it’s only “news” when “non white bad people country does things.” It’s only news when it feeds the racist propaganda machine.

Abducting someone is only “abhorrent” without the context. It’s only bad if you assume they don’t have a good reason for it. And you can only assume they don’t have a good reason for it if you buy into the propaganda that the Chinese government is some entity made of pure evil.
Maybe these folks were past their visa, or were being extradited for some crime. Who knows. There are lots of super valid reasons for an embassy to “abduct” someone. World governments do that kind of shit all of the time for totally normal reasons. And yet where’s the article about “German Embassy KIDNAPS man who was staying in the US on an expired visa.” They don’t exist because people naturally assume that white governments have a good reason for doing something and non white governments don’t. It just racism plain and simple.
Sure maybe the Chinese government is just going around risking international incidents because some random dude is doing thought crime. Or maybe they’re just getting them out of the country because they’re not supposed to be there anymore. One of those is significantly more likely than the other.

The US drone strikes it’s own citizens on foreign soil so yet again China is doing a bad thing that’s not nearly as bad as what the US is doing and everyone just ignores what the US is doing and shouts BUT CHYNA! Racist hacks

- Comment on 80% of bosses say they regret earlier return-to-office plans 1 year ago:
It’s interesting to me because I work for a relatively small company. The owners sent out a survey that was basically like “what do you want to do, office hybrid or remote.” The results came in and it was overwhelmingly either full remote or 1-2 days a week. Their next email was basically “this surprised us, but okay. We’ll close the office when the lease is up and move to a smaller one to accommodate. Also we’re now hiring in over a dozen states.” They just…asked. And then they modified their plan based on it. And most people stuck around. It was that simple.
