Comments like this are especially funny and dishonest because you, like most Westerners, likely have absolutely no idea what's happening to the Uighurs. Reports of "millions" being…

HN has gone completely off the rails. See my comment above. It's been like this for more than a year now. This sort of outright racist hate speech is now completely normal on HN an…

What a bunch of pure bullshit. 1. None of those links provide anything like evidence or support of your accusations. 2. It's absolutely remarkable that Huawei had somehow committed…

Yeah, this kind of blind racism and ignorance of what's actually happening in China is always a bit shocking. A lot of people are going to look back on the US from 2001 to 2030 and…

> In what free market does a government subsidize a company The idea that the Chinese government subsidizes every Chinese company is nonsense. This is just something that Americans…

This rhetorical maneuver, where you simply declare a system you don't understand to be totalitarian is no different from shouting Nazi at anything you don't agree with. Even a curs…

Sure. In a thread absolutely full of baseless rants my comment, which does provide an explanation and a link, was the one that jumped out you. Though it is aways interesting to see…

Hilarious. I wasn't even done with the comment and it's already being rapidly downvoted. The total lack of intellectual integrity on HN is a sight to behold. It's really funny to w…

> China is unique in that it's been all about oppressing and abusing the population as heavily as possible, without pause, ever since the first emperors gave the country its foreig…

> At the end of the day, you have a company with strong links (down to its founder) to the military This sort of pure propaganda just undermines your case. The founder of Huawei wa…

This isn't really about spying. The reality is that Huawei's equipment is the best in the world for the money. It's not even close. Given a free market (remember that?) there's rea…

If you think that demonstrates a legitimate security concern then every telecom manufacturer is a security concern. Spend some time comparing the known security issues with Huawei …

No, there's absolutely no evidence that Huawei equipment is a legitmate security concern. In fact it's just the opposite. Huawei equipment has been extensively and continuously stu…

Ah, I see, the endless diarrhea of anti-China propaganda is totally deserved because it's China is untrustworthy. And how can China dare demand access to IP, they're Chinese, their…

This is pure bullshit. The idea that Chinese companies and the government are somehow fused has no basis in reality. But it's remarkable to watch people push this sort of conspirac…

At this point there's so much blatant China panic and propaganda that it's descended into farce. Look at this thread. We've now reached the point where the less evidence behind som…

Such furious goal shifting. Demand evidence and then assert the evidence doesn't show rampant thievery. It's absolutely shameless.

> I think a more plausible explanation is status envy. Elon Musk could announce the cure for cancer tomorrow and many would decry it as a "PR Stunt." Philosophers deploy the term "…

It's not the human mind, it's a particular ideology. What's at work here is an ideology that must find enemies, the more heinous the better, in order to justify its own heinous act…

> This appears to be actually true in Xinyang? According to what evidence? The entire story is based off remarks from an anonymous UN official on a random UN committee. [1] In clas…

How would it be insane? This is a very common pattern. American media publishes outlandish stories and the only evidence is "anonymous sources" and highly partisan agents. Iraqi so…

The psychodrama Musk causes is far more interesting than anything Musk does. The guy is just a widget maker but his name is enough to summon outraged hordes all desperate for his f…

> I don't think the US government is the best judge, but it's a lot better than the alternatives (such as the PRC or Russia). It's also a better judge than the people it tries to k…

I'm even more curious where this wacky idea that a variety of views is better than a single expert view came from. What's the name for that? It's an oft-repeated "truism" in the We…
