Quoted post unavailable.

Criticising a leader of China because of what he is and is not doing is not anti-China. It's simply criticising a leader, and a leader who is above criticism is too fragile to be a leader.

I'm referring to Hacker News in particular.

If there is no anti-China propaganda, we'd see a balance of positive to neutral articles posted here about China. Instead, 99% are negative. This is propaganda.

It's about time that Hack News stops thinking only the West are the good guys and China is the bad guys.

History repeats itself.

"Back in the 1980s, Japan was portrayed as the greatest economic threat to the United States, and allegations of intellectual property theft were only part of Americans' vilification. Thirty years later, Americans have made China the villain, when, just like three decades ago, they should be looking squarely in the mirror."

“When governments permit counterfeiting or copying of American products, it is stealing our future, and it is no longer free trade.” So said US President Ronald Reagan, commenting on Japan after the Plaza Accord was concluded in September 1985.

I will not submit. It's up to the rest of the Hacker News community. The reason why is because people will accuse me of CCP shilling.

I will only comment when I see obvious propaganda.

PS. It's probably impossible to post anything positive about China here. It'll get flagged and deleted in minutes. You can try it if you want.
