Upvoted. Xiong'an is literally backed by Xi's and it's going to be the 2nd capital city of China according to the plan. This comment meant to be a link for some insight on what the Chinese government's thinking on city planning. Shenzhen's title "Frontier Demonstration Area of Socialism" gives some hints for the upcoming political atmosphere as well. What I don't understand is: Why would someone downvote this comment?! It's nothing controversial and informative. Also, my comment on William Gibson's novel has been downvoted. I know using Hacker News for political and ideological battles are not welcomed, and I actively avoid doing it. I think the reason of being downvoted is mentioning "unrestricted growth under hypercapitalism"... But I was literally talking about the plot of a Sci-Fi novel and comparing it with China, I even added that "it's a pretty common cyberpunk theme", not meant to attack any real entity. Anyway, feel free to downvote, but I'd love to hear some feedback and comments from HN readers if someone believes a comment is inappropriate.

    I don't know about others, but it's not boring reading for me. I appreciate it when someone points out the downvotes and responds, as OP has done here. We shouldn't treat downvotes the same was we do trolls and ignore them.
