I find it odd to that this document is on the frontpage of HN.
200+ pages, no clear summary, unclear what it is it? Other than appearantly it is confidential who has written it, seemingly academic and it is about Chinese and/or China being racists.
Where is this document from? And why was it written?
"Racist" is probably the most damning word that one can use in politics (here international politics) and can be used justify a great deal of wrong doing.
- stillsut 10y agoI upvoted you because you're raising some important points. To play advocate for keeping it unflagged: - domain of gwern.net is a respected source here; even his zanier points get the benefit of the doubt - China's future is hugely significant for the future of tech. - The document is not in any way a fluff piece, a "submarine", or pure anecdote. - ism's are discussed almost daily here in a domestic context.
