HN isn't sinking into the gutter calling out a government for doing horrifying things, spreading misinformation, suppressing accurate information, all to save face/embarrassment and keep its economy.
People here read alternate sources of news, see the videos leaking out on the Internet, they're very savy and know that any reporting that rely on CCP as primary source of info are bird cage liner. The CCP acted in bad faith, and the world suffered for it, and this isn't the first time.
- mytailorisrich 7y agoYou are proving my point with this bigoted response so please no need to bother 'replying' to my comments. Thanks.
- surge 7y agoMy response is from Chinese people. This is what the ones on the ground in China are saying. Or are you one of those bigots that can't separate the government from the people? Calling out the CCP has zilch to do with bigotry. Taiwan, HK and Chinese-Americans and diaspora (hence why they got out) aren't the same people and don't endorse the actions of the CCP. Calling out the jailing of journalists, arresting of doctors, and actions like currently rounding up black people in Guangzhou and putting them out in the street. Unless calling out racism by the government authorities is racist? It's as silly as saying calling out British government is calling out all white people, or bigotry towards the Scotish. China is 50+ ethnicities, besides the Han Chinese, so its a dumb argument to say China and race are equivalent, its a border and a government, that's it. Chinese ex-pats know exactly what's going on there. They still have family there and see what's going on in Chinese social media and what's getting censored. You can't scream racism and bigotry because someone criticizes a government, that's how we know you're a joke and likely a 50 center.
