    a huge simp for CCP and an authoritarian asshole

    Yes. awful.

    a shitty father for publicly shaming his son for cannabis use

    This was probably mostly due to pressure from the public. For all we know he might actually not consider cannabis use a problem. You have no idea how much hate and poopoo cannabis gets here in East Asia. Not denouncing his son then would be career suicide.

    Ultimately, both being a simp for the CCP and denouncing his son’s cannabis use serve a single purpose: get them juicy thicc Chinese Yuan. Of course, that doesn’t make CCP-simping or son-shaming okay, but if I were to be a actor in Hong Kong, I might also consider doing the same.
