Some thoughts on this...

Sometimes a writer doesn't have to tell you why.  Writers have their 
reasons for this - sometimes it's intentional ambiguity to get the 
reader's mind going, sometimes it's because it's not that important to 
the main point of the story, sometimes it's because they've got 
something planned.  As a writer, Aleh needs that freedom in order to 
come up with the best possible product.

Secondly, the characters are open to interpretation.  The China gang 
come from a tribe where a female outsider beating a member of the tribe 
in combat is a capital offense, where obstacles are for killing.  It's 
not a stretch to imagine the sort of bloodshed that could come from the 
application of the laws of such a tribe.

In summary, call off the dogs, people, and let Aleh write.  Your 
comments are well-intended, but I think they could do more harm than 
good.  Let Aleh take the story where the vision takes it, and I think 
the story will be better overall as a result.
