I don't see where your accusation about this being a Western media issue comes from in this particular case: the link is the project's GitHub repository. Moreover, it makes sense that USA and EU together have more media companies than China does by itself. Finally, this project is about better language translation technology, which is something that can help bridge cultural divides instead of leaving cultures in isolation. I don't know enough about languages to be able to tell if some advance is a major breakthrough or not, but people on Hacker News share and applaud minor improvements in many personal or professional projects, so I don't see why a Chinese project should be held to a different standard on this forum in that regard.
