The Chinese could simply point out that we also shoot civilians (in Iraq etc). IR is tricky....
Also, like all reports, we didn't see what happened before the shooting. Maybe they did attack the border guards (I highly doubt it but still). We onlyt have a western media clip. It's like those police beatings on tape. We don't see what happens before.
We also claim to find other horrors in Africa unacceptable but we don't do anything about it. I would argue that the Chinese are not as bad as the Africans (in my opinion). But I don't see any outrage on that now.
