Do you have any evidence to support these claims beyond hearsay from government officials and Western establishment media?

Please factually address my arguments rather than resorting to harassment, which is against HN rules.

Freedom is never absolute. You can respect other people's freedom to disagree with you, but not their freedom to kill you. You can choose to only stop them from the latter, but not the former.
Waitbutwhy has a great series about this: https://waitbutwhy.com/2019/08/story-of-us.html Basically absolute freedom means less freedom overall because the strongest take over. Limiting freedom (eg you can't kill others) can mean more freedom overall as more of the population are able to exercise their (limited) freedoms.
Am I the only one to see an interesting parallel to "copyleft" (e.g, [L]GPL) licenses (and a refutation of the "It's evil, viral, anti-free!" objections to them) here?

What is the end game in allowing PROC nationals into American universities? Even without a kinetic confrontation, current trends indicate PROC will dominate the world economy, ocean navigation, the African and part of South American continents, near Earth orbit and the Moon because of technology they've already stolen, downloaded, misappropriated and bought from the West --and they're known to be creating bioweapons…
"creating bioweapons that kill only non-Chinese people"? I've never heard of this before...
Different ethnic groups carry different genes. You know how you sometimes see headlines like "DNA of 2,000-year-old corpse in the Himalayas analysed; he turns out to be Greek"? So apparently some ethnicities have some genes that others don't; otherwise they couldn't know that.
Make a bioweapon that targets people with genes that your ethnic group doesn't have, and you've made a bioweapon that targets only people of other ethnic groups.

How would that even work? There isn’t a gene for Chinese citizenship that would impact any disease or illness. …I’m unfortunately assuming the poster is making a bad-faith reference to COVID-19. Some conspiracy theorists have been labeling it a bio weapon and ignoring the deaths from the initial outbreak.

I contend that those seeking to overthrow tyrannies are to be celebrated.
Sounds good until you try to figure out how to classify tyrannies.
I worked with people from China at a previous job. They came to visit us (South America) and while having dinner I lightly suggested things in China are difficult when it comes to freedom, right? Their facial expression changed immediately. They said it was better not to talk about that. They were who knows how many kilometers from home, not a single Chinese national around to report them, and they still feared talki…
You said "people", "they", and "them" -- all plural. Did you talk to them separately, one-on-one, or were they afraid of being denounced by each other?

I guess not tracking their users just wasn't an acceptable compromise. I wish eu google would just drop results like this.
They probably just don’t have the legal and technical resources to navigate GDPR in a manner more sophisticated than “geoblocking” and frankly I don’t blame them—how often do they get legitimate traffic from Europe, especially without the benefit of hindsight from this incident. I like the spirit of GDPR, but blaming the entire world for not understanding your own country’s laws is the pinnacle of navel gazing.
Commenting on geoblocking isn't exactly what I would call navel gazing there is literally nothing more for me to take away from this content :^)

this is exactly the white savior crap that much of the world hates from the US. the sheer arrogance to think that even a significant fraction of Taiwanese would be interested in moving to America, let alone the entire populace. And then the gall to suggest _Ohio, the Mojave, and Alaska_. Bit on the nose, don't you think? I don't understand how you think this rhetoric helps anyone. I guess it lets Americans puff out t…
“[Taiwan refugees] can help [USA] rebuild the infrastructure [of] Shanghai and Guangdong in Ohio Valley, Mojave/Sonora or Alaska regions”
There is no suggestion that any Taiwanese citizens be forced to relocate, be confined to or even visit those spectacular areas of North America! Seriously comrade, me thinks you protest too much.
