They can’t be trusted? Chinese news is a farce.
OP and an editor of Inkstone here. Surely I don't think what we do is farcical. Happy to answer any questions you have of our work.

Yup. An article is only on part of any media campaign. I think it also safe to assume this HN discussion is being cataloged, if not actively manipulated, by those who created this article.
I created the article! Trust me when I say I'm not cataloging this discussion or actively manipulating it. (EDIT: deleted "with my colleagues" because another commenter says it sounds like something other than reporters working with editors to put out an article.)
I don't see any version of "alanwong" on the article. We have a political piece written by a journal/website/news source that is apparently owned by a Chinese company and authored by a woman named "Viola Zhou". Now we have someone calling themselves "alanwong" claiming to have created the article but whose name appears nowhere on said article. This looks like team effort to me, a badly executed one.
(Alanwong claims to be the editor, not author, but I don't see the editor listed on the website)
China has some areas where they innovate, but they primarily excel at copying .

Except China as a state isn't our ally or friend. Their interests lie primarily in furthering their own political and military power, and secondarily benefiting their own population. They're more than eager to steal technology, then use that new-found knowledge and ability combined with massive government subsidies to drown out foreign competitors locally and abroad.
>Their interests lie primarily in furthering their own political and military power, and secondarily benefiting their own population. How exactly is that different from the US? I don't see US politicians in power trying to do things to benefit their own population, such as by providing universal healthcare.

Meanwhile there are two separate Nazi references in the SSIDs of my friend's building. This is, frankly, an idiotic line of discussion. I mean, smearing Chinese students (oh I forgot, you said "not generalizing" as though that means anything at all [yes, you were generalizing otherwise what is the relevance?]) because you saw some SSIDs, really!
I think those NAZI SSIDs are indicative of your friend's neighbors as well.
of course they're targeting the Boston area; our city is the country's nexus of research and development in a plethora of fields, our culture is welcoming to foreigners at a time when most areas of the US are positively hateful, and we're large enough that expats can find at least a few others from their home country if they so choose. it's the perfect place to learn and network whether you're a spy or a jobseeker. m…
Got a source on this one, bud?

“You and your colleagues” makes it sound like you have a comment crew.
Thanks. A reply button wasn't available until just now, so I had edited my original comment and added a note.
Or about the digital credit system.
Or about claiming international waters.
Or about the countries that won't be able to pay back the investments of the one-road. Where locals don't get any benefits from.
Or that the worldwide loans to other countries make it clear that china is not a developing country anymore.
What's the chance of that?
( Sorry, but I'm more worried since I know China is actively sponsoring pro-China news agencies close to home ( Londen)). The sooner it fails, the better.
And no, it's not personal against you. It is however personal against me ( manipulating news close to home).
And Xi is pretty smart and hard-working. He is going for the long/slow haul, it's not what he's doing now, it's what he can do tomorrow.
What I see now, is what I thought it would be. He is waiting till Trump is gone, because he will be in charge longer.

How much leeway do you have to discuss and publicize incidents like the Tienamen Square massacre and other atrocities that the Chinese government has generally made an effort to scrub from the internet?
