You have no idea what you're talking about. Rice was the US Secretary of State. You think the only politicians are elected officials? She was an active member of the Republican party and she held political power through the executive branch of the US government. Just because the manner of filling the office of Secretary of State is appointment and not election doesn't mean she's not a politician.

And if you think I'm a shill for China, when I have never been there, don't speak or read the language, and don't work in politics, international relations, international business, or journalism, then maybe you're a little too sensitive to anyone holding a position that opposes yours because your position is completely unexamined and is constructed entirely by Western propaganda.

The aggressiveness with which you responded confirms my previous comment.

Sure, because shills for foreign governments get aggressive instead of being trained on how to convince people of their positions ? You're delusional.

Actually yes, they do become aggressive. In fact they become overly aggressive, beyond what the situation calls for. Sort of like you, who goes immediately into ad hominem.

I went to ad hominem? I presented a position that opposed the commenter and the commenter accused me of being a shill for China. That is the literal definition of ad hominem.
