i'm not sure what's the worst part of all this:
A) he didn't bother to fact check like crazy whether it was true or not before making the accusation public the first time
B) he didn't say anything when zhou, who said the exact same thing, had to apologize for it. instead he praised zhou for taking accountability for it.
C) he made the accusation only to the chinese speaking media, but never said a word to the english speaking media
