I like how anything can be blamed on China. There are many plausible alternative explanation down below, but nope, HNers gotta upvote to the top that one comment that appeals to anti-China (or Chinese?) rhetoric.

It's just pointing out that the Chinese are often criticized for restricting the freedom of their Internet users, and blocking a major privacy-enhancing browser as Stack Exchange is now doing is arguably just as bad. Users should never be exposed to harassment by network operators or dubious AI "intrusion-spotting" bots for something with such a negligible abuse potential as browsing a 'questions and answers' site.

- beepbooptheory 5y agoIt is kind of a fun game to go to any arbitrary comments on here and Ctl-F 'china' and more often than not there is some digression about it, sometimes in the most farfetched ways.
- dijit 5y agoEven more ironic as Prosus is Dutch. Tencent isn't involved and it's still being blamed by association. XD (FD: I am actually a worker of a games company owned by Tencent in Europe)
