HN hates China. You can tell from the dialogue and tone whenever it is brought up. Objectivity is out of the window, all of a sudden. When it comes to America

HN hates China. You can tell from the dialogue and tone whenever it is brought up. Objectivity is out of the window, all of a sudden. When it comes to America and the beloved companies, there is always justification. The other day it was privacy and ability to unsubscribe. HN was justifiably ranked really really terrible. Of course everyone came to its defense. Then of course the tyranny of the majority on this beloved forum, though not any participant is willing to accept it. HN needs Dave Chappelle.

You aren't saying much with your message other than you think HN, a group containing people with a wide swath of opinions on things, "hates China" and your reasoning is a bit incoherent. I can't even tell what that last line is suppose to mean. HN needs a millionaire to come in and... tell jokes?

No shit HN hates China. How can you actually LIKE China? China is literally one of the worst countries in the world at this current moment. Their ethnic cleansing, treatment of minorities, extreme censorship and state control does not make them a likable country.

  I like China. Of course I hate the government. The country is super exciting though and it's very sad that it's ruled by such dystopian regime.

Lots of people on HN probably hate China and post accordingly, but that doesn't mean everyone does. Hateful posts tend to get downvoted or flagged. If you want to know what the majority thinks, you need to find a top post that wasn't flagged and didn't attract so many comments it was downranked by the flamewar detector, because otherwise the majority won't even see it. Then wait a day or two for the ranking to stop changing and check the top comment. I think you'll find it much more reasonable than whatever appears at the bottom with "showdead" turned on.
