You are the one comparing a genocidal power to a country defending itself from genocide (remember the entire Ukrainians are confused russians speech)

If you are only against some genocides you are not against genocide, you are a nazi with extra steps.

These counterfeit phones, Cohen said, were either out of warranty or contained counterfeit parts, but Apple "wrongly" believed that they were real phones under real warranties

Healthcare in China:

public health insurance generally only covers about half of medical costs, with the proportion lower for serious or chronic illnesses.

China's commercial health insurance is also proliferating. In 2020, the country's commercial health insurance premium income amounted to 817.3 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of 20%.

As of 2022, enrollment in China's nationwide healthcare system is almost universal. However, these plans generally provide low levels of benefits.

New evidence strongly suggests that OceanGate's submersible, which imploded and killed all passengers on its way to the Titanic wreck, was unfit for the journey.

This likely played a role in the submersible's tragic demise.
