> I understand this is an important topic, and the presentation quality is really impressive. However, I noticed the article focuses more on 'what' was accomplished rather than the 'how' that the title suggests. To me, 'how' implies concrete details—which specific units or individuals were involved, what their motivations were, which regulations or legal provisions were applied, the broader context behind the decisions, and so on.
