And if they don't feel that, they have to examine what separates them from Chinese women, what distance makes them immune when their Chinese compatriots are not. Now they have to examine how they are imagining their relationship to their Chinese compatriots when they think they are immune.

But I could talk a little more widely about the issue of the targeting of women.

It has a very very long history. But contemporary we can see it everywhere. In Bosnia for example there has been a very significant amount at targeting of women for rape. Targeting women is a way of communicating that the military and its collaborators are everywhere. The sense is that it will reach you in your most intimate places.
