I find it fascinating that the US government is being openly hostile like that. Surely they just realize that this will be held against the US for a long time?

- transcriptase 3y agoWe understand what it’s for. What we don’t understand is why someone would spend so much time on HN complaining about “westerners” and lobbing ad hominems at anyone critical of China.

- dang 3y agoCrossing into personal attack will get you banned here, no matter how wrong someone is or you feel they are. We've had to warn you about this before, so please don't do it again. Also, please don't post flamewar comments. You went way over the line here, even apart from the personal attack. You're as welcome here as anyone else is, but we need you to follow the rules and post in the intended spirit. I realize that's harder when representing a minority view, but there's not much we can do about that—we have to apply the rules more or less evenly. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- lostlogin 3y ago> i also find it fascinating US gov and private entity are having open dialogs like this, albeit with thinly veiled threats and PR grandstanding. Isn’t this exactly how democracy is supposed to work?
- 6510 3y agoLike in I have no idea but I know it when I see it?
- _3u10 3y agothis is like a cop giving a speeding ticket for someone doing 55 in a 55. Totally stupid, if you want people driving 50 just make that the limit.
- cwillu 3y agoIt's like a cop giving a dangerous driving ticket for someone doing 55 in a 55, during zero visibility conditions.
- _3u10 3y agoHow could the cop see them doing 55 if the conditions were zero vis?
- cwillu 3y ago“Very low visibility — Visibility of less than 100 metres (330 ft) is usually reported as zero.” --https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visibility https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visibility
- _3u10 3y agoThat's about how far high beams shine, so it's totally acceptable for cops to give people speeding tickets for doing 55 in a 55 at night with high beams on? https://getjerry.com/questions/how-far-do-low-beams-shine https://getjerry.com/questions/how-far-do-low-beams-shine
- cwillu 3y agoHigh beams definitely do not get 100 meters of usable distance in fog, and in fact will reduce the visibility further. https://www.weather.gov/safety/fog-driving https://www.weather.gov/safety/fog-driving says: “ • Use fog lights if you have them. • Never use your high-beam lights. Using high beam lights causes glare, making it more difficult for you to see what’s ahead of you on the road. ”

- foverzar 3y ago> Surely they just realize that this will be held against the US for a long time? Who can? There are plenty of things people around the world hold against the US. It's not like anyone can actually do something about it and that's all that really matters.
- andrewinardeer 3y agoNot sure if your comment is satire or not.
- foverzar 3y agoNo, this is actually a dead serious observation. I do wonder though what was the satirical element you perceived, if you don't mind me asking.
- corethree 3y agoPeople who live in the US are usually less aware of how a lot of the international community perceives them as a bully. His view is very common and he finds it completely foreign that the US is even perceived this way. A lot of people in the US view the US as the heroic peace keeper, and that all actions the US takes against China are for "world security" rather then an attempt to keep the top spot as the #1 economic and military super power. It's weird because while there is freedom of the press in the US, many US citizens are still strangely misinformed and irrationally patriotic. I'm not even clear about the mechanism at work here but there is a sort of strange form of control of information at play here. You can sort of sense it in US news. It's genius really how the media can be controlled despite amendments in place ensuring freedom of the press.
- antihipocrat 3y agoNews media are private businesses. Control the flow of money or buy the business and you control the narrative. It's well known that advertising dollars influence decisions, and it's also well known that western news media is owned by only a few huge companies that often are advertising subsidiary companies on the same platform.
