I think it’s normal to ask questions: if nothing has ever happened to the US for similar abuses, why should something happen to any other countries?
Then raise the specific issues about similar abuses. China's actions are a specific issue and light should be shined on them so the truth can be known.

#23I do wonder who pays to have all these comments put on hacker news. This happens a lot on Russia-related threads as well. Or is it just some nationality who learned incorrect history. On the Russia-related threads I would've put it to people from India as there's a big tech group there and they speak English and their country is cozy with Russia, but they wouldn't be defending China.
May I ask who paid for your comment? Why do you automatically assume that there's an organized campaign when the viewpoint disagrees with your own?

I have watched the democracy, WMD, and human rights theatrics deployed before. There are always people saying "let's be a little skeptical" and they are always called treasonous and unpatriotic. Yet we find and time again that there is wisdom in heeding their warnings.
So please keep in mind that some of us are under the proverbial boot and so we have a good reason to remember how this play goes.

They have, and there will be more. The US should continue to listen and consider how they can change. Avoiding the topic is not a viable way forward.

#29Holly molly, the whatsaboutism in these comments.
When "Do As I Say and Not As I Do" is the primary principle of US foreign policy, then Whataboutism is the utterly correct response.

Hacker news is just not that pro west. I actually find it quite refreshing.
