This is the best answer I've seen. HN however is not a place for unpopular (and true) insights. It'll be downvoted to oblivion.

- FooBarWidget 6y agoI know. But I'm way past the point of being scared of that, or even caring. As a Chinese person I was scared of being lynched by the mob for speaking up (ironic isn't it, this is the so-called "free society" but apparently it only applies when you agree with the mob), but now I just think the truth must come out, and someone must push back against this insane, evidence-free anti-China hysteria. Notice that I'm not even saying "CCP good". I just say "it's nuanced and complex, there are alternative points of view". Which is what most things in reality are. But when it comes to China, people will only allow simplifiying it to a cartoon villain.
- kristofferR 6y agoChina does play the part of cartoon villain perfectly themselves.
- sunstone 6y agoThe issue with China is not China specific or CCP specific, the issue is Xi and how he's clearly playing directly from Putin's playbook to the detriment of world stability.
