> I'm sick of the pearl clutching against a man who had consensual relationships with adult women his own age,

Do we have evidence that his legally-recognized other half consented to these relationships? If so, fine. That still doesn't remove the problems with those relationships, like the possibility of Alice Huang being a PRC intelligence asset, or the fact that one of the affairs was with a company employee, which can, in a roundabout way, place potential penalties on her career if she doesn't consent.

Excuse me, where the f*ck did I excuse pedophilia???
