Is that viewpoint just accepted, or is it taught as fact? Genuinely interested, as I have never heard that point of view from Chinese colleagues.

Your username makes you sound far too much like an evil supercomputer, and your reply is exactly what an evil supercomputer would say!

Ancillary Justice is just...ok. I don't quite understand the lavish praise that is dropped over it.
