People on HN engaging in whatboutism - can you please find a single article from the CCP state media that criticizes the CCP? I could literally go on WSJ/NYT/WaPo right now and find many articles criticizing US government.
That's what free press means. China has no tolerance for truth if it collides with the CCP image.
- dang 7y agoPlease keep canned arguments like "whataboutism" off this site. It's a catchy name that masks a logical fallacy, pretending that comparables aren't relevant. Of course they're relevant. If something is comparable, it's legitimate to bring up. If it's not comparable, refute it by explaining why, not with a generic label. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=by%3Adang%20whataboutism&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...
