I don't. It might help to broaden your news sources.

But just looking at your post history, I would suggest that for every negative story about China that you post, post a positive one about China too. Keep it 50/50. Balance.

Cheers.

I'm willing to bet you $1000 that that won't happen, unless the article is blatant propaganda.

In 2 minutes, I found two that were rather neutral:

I don't know if you're chinese or just pro-chinese, but perhaps don't be so fragile? It's probably gives out the opposite image of what you're looking for. Hacker News in general is rather anti-government, any government, so it's not big surprise if blatantly pro-China articles don't get many upvotes.

Ah yes. Of course. Say something positive about China? You're Chinese, pro-Chinese, pro-CCP. Such a shit show.

Are you a white male? Pro-America? Pro-MAGA? Neo-Nazi?

Hacker News is not anti-government, any government. Hacker News is protectionist against competition. Everything is about socioeconomics. Hacker News does not give a damn about the well-being of Chinese citizens or uyghurs. What they actually care about is dismantling competition.

At the end of the way, we just need to go back down to the basics: human instinct. I'd like Hacker News to not pretend like they care about democracy.

>unless the article is blatant propaganda.

But you never considered all the anti-China articles posted here as blatant propaganda?

I'm not sure if equating being Chinese / pro-Chinese with being Pro-MAGA or a Neo-Nazi is what you want to be doing. But yes, I'm white male and from all the different possible pros today, probably more Pro-America than anything else. It's easily the least bad option.

>But you never considered all the anti-China articles posted here as blatant propaganda?

Examples, please.
