John, I think you're overthinking this one. These people are trolls, period. They just want to gauge a response because they got owned while posting under other pseudonyms.

Logically, if one side believes that criticizing both china and the west is okay(that's us haha). But the other side cannot tolerate criticism of any culture deemed non-western, which side would be more tolerant? Throwing compost on disagreements and dissatisfaction makes these folks look even less credible. By talking, they are helping our side of the argument.
