You do realize this is common and goes into both directions? The same has in lets say Europe, where news don't dare to talk badly about the US or Russia. It's a really common thing. Nobody wants to be the reason for diplomatic troubles and everyone knows how childish all over the planet can act Sometimes causing that trouble simply doesn't seem worthwhile (even though one really should say that it would their job), maybe also because a lot of them is pretty clear and not surprising in first place. In a world where society wants to be passive (and yeah, even if the startup folks like to exclude themselves we always need point at examples that aren't really part of the startup culture) the motivation to criticize another, economically important country or even your own country isn't exactly high. Sure people might agree and say that they not like it, but changes of policies are pretty much non-existent.
