The hexies are so excited about this too. They've got a thread up (erroneously) hoping that Americans will now stop believing that Chinese people are bad, because they can't face the truth that Americans (who aren't magats) only think the Chinese government is an authoritarian shit show and have no problem with regular Chinese citizens.
