It's not fair to people who wanted to see if Chengdu could run the con, and the Sinophobia has been A LOT.

Also, if they wanted to not have the con in China, then they should've organised a credible alternative *before* the eleventh hour! I think a lot of people would've voted for the second racist city in Canada Winnipeg if that ConCom had their shit together six months before they did.

Is there any chance of more answers coming out of the Chengdu ConCom?

(Anyway, hi, I followed you for SF/F book recs, and am now in your comments about Hugos drama. Nice to meet you!)
