I throw out any articles with an opinion as a premise that is based on a nation as a singular entity.
"The Chinese say.." , "The Albanians do..", "The Americans think.."
Unless we're talking about nation-affecting issues or cataclysms here, let's keep the national entity out of journalism, please. It's fine to say things like "The people of Thailand are struggling with seasonal floods."
The WSJ[0] article that is linked in the techcrunch article even uses the phrase 'Chinese entrepreneurs'. That makes more sense.
The Chinese did not form a nation-wide opinion about the quality of Palo Alto.
