I am very sorry this looks like another post the pro-CCP trolls will have a feast on and severely diminish the value of Hacker News. It's sad to see another good website to go under under the onslaught of political propaganda. To the topic, CCP influence in Western academia is a huge and growing problem the West is sleeping on to its own peril. It is probably too late now for any meaninugful fix and anyway how would that fix look like? So prepare for more self-censorship and censorship and bullying of researchers critical of CCP.

This was a Chinese-sponsored scholarship in China. But I suppose it’s fine to be a racist jerk if only you can blame CCP, right?

  Your post history shows you comment on every mention of china, always deflecting the subject at hand by blaming the CIA, or "Western concept of freedom". You have blamed "the west" for COVID, the holocaust, and Uyghur genocide to name a few. Your comments have little substance. I'm not sure if you actually believe this stuff or if you are a china bot. Just posting here so others know to ignore/report you.

    Yes, because the prevalent anti-Chinese propaganda is, frankly, quite disgusting. And the main source of this propaganda is US. I think it’s useful to remind some facts to restore the balance. Also: I’ve blamed the West for Holocaust? Where, but also, who should take the blame according to you, China again? :-D Also, if you’re taking this personal, you wrote two comments on HN, total, including the one above. Not calling you a bot of course.

    > Uyghur genocide Do you have reliable source about that?

      Source: Adrian Zenz or some other US military industrial complex sponsored think-tank like ASPI [1]. Very reliable, trust me, you can trust them. [1] https://www.aspi.org.au/sponsors https://www.aspi.org.au/sponsors

        Nope but nice diversion. Clearly I triggered a filter looking for propaganda keywords. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_genocide https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_genocide wikipedia is blocked in china. Please refute the 477 sources at the bottom of the page individually. The holocaust happened, the Uyghur genocide is still happening.

        I’ve seen all of these sources a million times. They all, without fail, link directly or indirectly back to Adrian Zenz, ASPI, or some other Washington D.C based think tank or “NGO” like NED. They’ll also throw in the occasional victim testimony from the same handful of Uyghur “survivors” whose stories change every other time they tell it. Just one example. Here [1], an Uyghur survivor said she “did not personally see violence” yet in her book [2], she suddenly describes witnessing everything from gang rapes to organ harvesting to torture. There are countless other examples of inconsistencies like this. My final word on this is that if there is indeed a genocide going on, it must be the only genocide in history where the allegedly genocided population has actually gone up [3]. Anyways, believe what you will. I wrote this response mainly for the benefit of people who still remember the lies that led up to the invasion of Iraq, not for people like you whose minds are already set.
