IETF was in Shenzhen in March. During the plenum there were a number of people (all remote Americans) complaining about the location choice. (Also some from India, but those were valid concerns for timing with tough passports).
There was a LOT of dislike for those comments from everyone there, because it’s in San Francisco in September and there are a lot of concerned individuals in that community. A shame they couldn’t see the larger reaction, and only those from people (myself included) willing to speak up in front of everyone. I am American, ftr.
