Hmm. This is quite an overreaction to what I wrote. You “condemn me” for these comments I’ve posted on hacker news? Seriously? All I am asking for is an articulation of the alternative interpretation of events that you have said is lacking in media reports. I can only think of one reason why you would believe that my questions somehow show me to be “extremely angry” (when I am not) or that I want to “dictate others’ thoughts” (which I don’t) or that I am somehow on a “witch hunt” just because I am being persistent in responding to your comments (this is a two-way street). It is the same reason that you cannot articulate any other interpretation than the one found in media reports: In your own heart you know that there is only one reasonable interpretation of these events and of Peng Shuai’s writings. This poor woman was abused—certainly emotionally and possibly physically—by a senior member of the Chinese Communist Party, and officials of the Chinese government have taken extraordinary steps to cover it up. If there were any other reasonable interpretation you would say what it is!

I don't believe at all that you are being honest in saying that "all your are asking for is an articulation". You're trying to doxx me; i.e. a witch hunt, for possibly having wrong thoughts, where even not having an opinion is reason to suspect someone for having wrong thoughts. TLDR: no.

You're probably wasting your time :) Here's more context for what this user is peddling: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29344244 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29344244 See also @honglilai on Twitter ("Hongli Lai") for more exclusively pro-China commentary. I'm afraid that engaging him in honest debate is an exercise in futility. (Note: I'm not attempting to dox the user, his Twitter handle/name can be found in his HN profile)

  Exclusively pro-China commentary... such as "discriminations of Africans in Guangzhou is wrong"[1] and non-political commentary such as "healthcare workers in Shenzheng are getting 1 free meal a day, this is good progress in society"[2]? Come on man, aren't we supposed to be "only against the CCP and for the Chinese people"?
