Expected. Threads like these turn into a wasteland of downvotes for a reason. China is a superpower. Superpowers have units dedicated to information warfare. Some of these units deal with controlling discourse and sentiment. HN is a fairly prominent public forum within the tech industry. China wants global influence, particular in the technology sector. It's reasonable to assume they probably have some fairly clever…

Couple weeks ago I made a comment on a story pondering if a certain British tech executive had undisclosed links to the intelligence services. Some people replied and there was interesting discussion. Then the comment (not the story, just my comment) got 'flagged' and is now collapsed by default so that no one further would read it. Rather strange. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28101624

I've read everything in that thread, the underlying article, plus any other articles I can find on him. There's nothing I can see that suggests he has "undisclosed links to the intelligence services." The guy was a childhood friend of Hassabis.

Nonetheless, interesting person.

How does that justify taking over their land/people? If this is really their excuse, it sounds to me like the same kind of justification Spain had when conquering the Native empires of Aztecs and Incas. Maybe they should have helped them without wiping out the culture? I'm still learning details of this, but I think ultimately it is very hard to justify persecution of peaceful monks.

That land is probably billions years old. I fail to see how it can belong to one tribe of people.

Same can be said about China?

au·ton·o·mous (of a country or region) having the freedom to govern itself or control its own affairs. in what way is what West Taiwan is doing, is freedom to govern itself or control its own affairs? they still have the child the West Taiwan state kidnapped, people still live in exile.

Right. From Wikipedia: "under Chinese law an autonomous region has more legislative rights, such as the right to 'formulate self-government regulations and other separate regulations.'"

hmm we should let the Tibetans in exile know about this.. get the Dalai lama back to Tibet eh>? as the West Taiwan CCP government removes prayer cards ...
