I wonder if HN is able to identify Chinese state manipulation of the comments here. I’ve never seen so many Sinophile defensive comments before. It’s almost like someone pushed a button and called for backup.
- ngokevin 6y agoHave you been to China, talked to its people often, or do you get most of your sentiments online from other commenters and through news? I'd argue there is US mass media manipulation. There's simply clear monetary (and nationalistic) incentive in riling Americans against an evil enemy. In my eyes, the US paints China as evil just as much as NK paints US as evil. Do you not think it's propaganda that all the news is one sided, have you not considered a scenario where Americans might have been planted a bias by the media? Also, I'd be an effin' amazing impostor to act as a plant as a YC alum on HN with my username orange. Maybe China wired me some money.
