This logic is false. Chinese "Communists" [I would not call them
Commies, but Extreme-Corporate-Capitalists - China seems
like a huge Capitalist Corporation to me :-)] think lots of other things
gruesome - like making movies that mock their CEOs or Directors -
so this should not be a parameter to evaluate the gruesomeness
of anything.
What if China bans breasts implants? [*]
Then their stock will be flat.
