I assume we will be getting some what-abouters. So let me ask them what is their own political philosophy, like do they think Xi is great, or do they support liberal democracy but are angry at how the US fails to hold up its ideals, or what?
Also, I assume we will be getting some people who will say the article is a pack of lies, so let me ask them to give us what they think is the truth on the matters the article covers, like the history of China, or how Xi has changed things from the system that Deng installed.
- dang 8y agoPlease don't take HN threads into political and national flamewar. I'm sure you didn't mean to, but that's where a comment like this one leads, which is a reason for several of the site guidelines, including this one: "Comments should get more civil and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive." Could you please (re-)read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and be more careful about using this site as intended?
- fwefoijweo 8y agoIf that's considered starting a flamewar, then this site is too sensitive to hold political conversations in the first place.
- trentlott 8y agoI think your fear shouldn't be of push back about the conclusion but wholesale ignorance of the topic.
