Even YC got screwed by China. This is an intentional pattern: Lure US money and then use backroom dealings to coordinate an outright theft.

The ~1 million Uighurs the Chinese government has in concentration camps. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/11/16/world/asia/ch...
NYT is not exactly a reliable source of news in China, actually none of US MSM are.
What about the Hong Kong government's own public broadcaster? https://gbcode.rthk.hk/TuniS/www.rthk.hk/tv/dtt31/programme/...

In my opinion, one party California is a fascist state. Hey, SF just elected a Chavist as a DA: that person actually went and helped Hugo Chavez administration. By that yardstick, doing business in California is also immortal.
Yeah, California is exactly the same as a state that throws hundreds of thousands to millions of people in concentration camps, prohibits freedom of speech and religion, murders and steals the organs of political prisoners, and actively monitors everything you do.
It's not, ignore nationalist defending a fascist state.

Can you explain how opposition to China's human rights violations are comparable to McCarthyism?
Oppositions to China's human rights violations does not equal to a blanket opposition to cooperation or involvement with all things Chinese. Doing so only highlights a biased view that is highly prevalent in our government today that is precisely reminiscent of McCarthyism. Indeed one does not need to look far for such sentiments: "The Chinese aren’t smarter than we are. They don’t work harder than we do. They CHEAT.…
You appear to be deeply misinformed about what the term McCarthyism means.

I don’t expect anything less from a brainwashed Chinese national (who is most likely living in California and still pledges alliegiance to the dictator xi bao zi) who thinks his whataboutism will work on hacker news
user may be Chinese national, but name calling ("brainwashed") probably isn't the best way to encourage the sorts of open dialogue that will be necessary to change their views
Lucky 10000: Go look up the etymology of "brainwashing".

Ignoring or tolerating a violent ethno-nationalist ideology isn't going to make things better either.

I could get more internationally sourced coverage if you really need. More or less the only MSM not covering the Uighur concentration camps are the Chinese MSM.

What elephant? Can you be more specific about what's controversial about this? Expansion into China would at least be a coherent basis for this stuff; then, sure, you'd want to know what compromises YC might be forced to make to stay in the good graces of their new host. This is YC withdrawing from China.
Totalitarian actions of the regime primarily against Muslim minorities (Uighurs), including concentration camps with >1M people.
Yeah, no, I've read a newspaper in the last year. What exactly does that have to do with YC? They're withdrawing from China.
Re: An update on YC China
#150I would expect more, and more direct language. Doing business with a fascist state or in a fascist state is deplorable. The message should be loud and clear. China today shares many parallels with Germany in the 1930s. There needs to be open frank opposition because embarrassing them is the only way to stop them until the US is willing to park an aircraft carrier group in HK waters.
In my opinion, one party California is a fascist state. Hey, SF just elected a Chavist as a DA: that person actually went and helped Hugo Chavez administration. By that yardstick, doing business in California is also immortal.
Indeed, Californian business is immmortal.
How is modern one-party California fascist? Specifically, how does California advance an ethnostate under a conservative populist tradtionalist movement oriented at revitalizing a long-dead culture? I'm not sure that California does this.
Meanwhile, China operates death camps.
Good try, good hustle, glad you're here learning English, but you need to learn more about your culture's history and the nature of fascism.
