MODERATORS
Maybe don't hold it in China again if they're so worried about this sort of thing? They didn't think that through did they? You think they might with, you know, science fiction often commenting on real life things through speculative analogues. They cowardly caved to just the idea of repercussions. Nothing in the article says the committee was actually under pressure from anyone to do what they did. Weak!
