An aside though: ^^This comment crystallizes the best of hn.
Within 30s I was able to learn so much — The gist of the paper, about how nefarious activities masquerade as academic research, politics and money in funding, and hardcore commitment of folks like Steve Bannon in pushing the overton window on trade relations, geopolitics etc. Phew!

- throwaway4good 6y agoThe author Li Meng Yan is also a regular on Bannon's 4-hour daily YouTube-show "War Room Pandemic" which is absolutely crazy. However they have a lot of money from some curious Chinese groups and you shouldn't underestimate how much influence they have over the current US administration.
