I can guarantee you they wouldn’t notice, and if they did, they wouldn’t care. They aren’t that insecure.
The poster you replied to used a seven day old account. Their submissions and comments history is a bit telling.
Plenty of comments on HN are posted by green accounts :) and I stand by all my comments
Texas, Utah, most of the Western US. Saipan, Marinaras, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico... It starts to illustrate how silly the Chinese stance of offense is, now that you mention it.

Why _is_ China so brittle when it comes to Tibet, one wonders? Is it perhaps in their hearts that they know the claim of historicity underpinning current Chinese domination of Tibet is actually flimsy?

One might even consider that it approaches hypothetical and laughable claims launched in the future by the US over Cuba or the Philippines or much of Central America as historical parts of the US.

> never thought a $14-an-hour job running social-media accounts for Marriott International Inc. would require him to know global politics

Oh, well. Bet they can get a Ph.D. in international affairs for 12.

It's tough out there.
