This is an exasperating bit of casual racism I see all the time. A Chinese person has said something you disagree with, they must have no personal agency, they must be trying to curry favor with the government! the CPC is not Santa Claus, ffs

Are you suggesting that the CPC is ingrained in the DNA of all Chinese? I fail to see how criticizing a political system is racist otherwise.

  That's obviously not what the parent comment was saying. Would you please stop taking HN threads further into nationalistic, ideological, or political, or any, flamewar? We ban accounts that do this, you've done it repeatedly, and we've asked you already to stop. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

    Kind of funny you're not banning any of the spam CPC accounts here promoting nationalistic, ideological, and political flames the second you point out the CPC is the only country in the world running actual concentration camps for minorities.

      People accuse us of secretly siding with their enemies when they get moderated. That's cheap and frankly rather silly. The opposite side makes the opposite accusations. Re "spam CPC accounts", concoctions like that are also a cheap-and-rather-silly thing that internet users come up with when they don't like what other internet users say. It's common, poisonous, and inevitably so vacuous that we have a site rule against it- see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. If you had evidence of abuse, you should be emailing it to hn@ycombinator.com so we can look at the actual data. Comments expressing views that go against your own views is not evidence of abuse, it's merely evidence that divisive topics are divisive, which we all know already.
