This is same feeling I have at the beach and having to see a plane pull a banner over the ocean for Coors Light or the plethora of weed/casino billboards I see driving on public roads. We are forced into ads all around us. I'm not saying this to defend the drones, but to show the ubiquity of ads and how desensitized we've become to their invasion into our lives whether we like it or not.
- qiqing 6y agoIt's not any more or less dystopian than a plane pulling a Coors Light ad. However, I've noticed the negativity around anything China related, and it just triggers memories of the kind of double standards my family was subjected to when growing up as a minority in the US. It's the same pattern as British news coverage of the two princesses, whether we like it or not.
- axiosgunnar 6y agoNobody on this site, I repeat nobody, has any animosity towards a random Chinese citizen for simply being Chinese in China. What you call „negativity around anything China related“ is people raised in fairly free societies (most of HN) having a gut wrench reaction to whatever overstep-du-jour the Chinese communist elites (the CCP) have committed this week.
