> China has supported violent Juntas in Myanmar, and Sudan. Links please? Saying nothing / neutral Verbal approval Material support All these can be interpreted as supporting military Juntas. And military Juntas are not necessarily bad. For example, SK was developed effectively through a Military Junta government. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Republic_of_Korea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Republic_of_Korea > It has essentially performed a coup in Hong Kong. What is this? HK is part of China right? > it loves supplying weapons to latin countries via Norinco. Nothing special, China's aim is the largest weapon exporter. > And it's doing economic damage and putting more of those countries in debt, just like it took Hambantota International Port from Sri Lanka. This is shown to be a myth, as some other comments here suggested. > Both are racking up kills elsewhere in Africa too. What is this?

> This is shown to be a myth, as some other comments here suggested. There have certainly been a bunch of opinion pieces expressing that opinion coming out at the same time. Which is incredibly weird, unless... oh right, opinions can be bought and China has a history of doing that. Mystery solved I guess.

  The case is not that such pieces appearing in uniform in short period of time. The case is that western media is so fixitated on negative coverage on China, so much so that any positive or neutral coverage will be seen as carefully manipulated campaign. Every thread of China topic, here on HN, will see your type of comments consistently. The real mystery is not that there is positive or neutral report on China. The real mystery is why US people seem cannot use their brain on China topics...

    Another mystery is why you think I'm American. Chinese media is state controlled, and no alternative is possible. If they wanted credible positive reporting, then they have only themselves to blame.

I was talking about English media. That's a reasonable assumption, since you are commenting on the HN comments, which is part of English media, and heavily influenced by mainstream English media, obviously. You are an american or not is not relevant. > If they wanted credible positive reporting, then they have only themselves to blame. Wow. Let's jail the SoB based on media reports. This is what you suggest, right?
