It's astounding how well insidious daily propaganda works. I'm sure these guys mean well but they've been manipulated as much as the 'other side' has been. Edit: What news are reported and how they are reported in not random [1]. There has very clearly been a campaign against China and this shows that it is working.

If the CIA has dedicated manpower to fucking with the Notepad++ dev so that HN could see it and think critical thoughts about the Chinese... then I think they might have some misplaced priorities. The far more likely explanation is that this is organic. Edit: I stand corrected. Wow.

      The dependency is used in a lot of Windows software too, it wasn't even targeted at Notepad++ specifically: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scintilla_(software) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scintilla_(software)

There's lots of evidence about China's human rights abuses in Xinjiang. Campaigning against China is the right thing to do as long as they persist in these uncivilized policies.
