Criticising a leader of China because of what he is and is not doing is not anti-China. It's simply criticising a leader, and a leader who is above criticism is too fragile to be a leader.
If there is no anti-China propaganda, we'd see a balance of positive to neutral articles posted here about China. Instead, 99% are negative. This is propaganda.
It's about time that Hack News stops thinking only the West are the good guys and China is the bad guys.
History repeats itself.
"Back in the 1980s, Japan was portrayed as the greatest economic threat to the United States, and allegations of intellectual property theft were only part of Americans' vilification. Thirty years later, Americans have made China the villain, when, just like three decades ago, they should be looking squarely in the mirror."
“When governments permit counterfeiting or copying of American products, it is stealing our future, and it is no longer free trade.” So said US President Ronald Reagan, commenting on Japan after the Plaza Accord was concluded in September 1985.
I don't. It might help to broaden your news sources.
But just looking at your post history, I would suggest that for every negative story about China that you post, post a positive one about China too. Keep it 50/50. Balance.
I don't know if you're chinese or just pro-chinese, but perhaps don't be so fragile? It's probably gives out the opposite image of what you're looking for. Hacker News in general is rather anti-government, any government, so it's not big surprise if blatantly pro-China articles don't get many upvotes.
>I don't know if you're chinese or just pro-chinese, but perhaps don't be so fragile?
Ah yes. Of course. Say something positive about China? You're Chinese, pro-Chinese, pro-CCP. Such a shit show.
Are you a white male? Pro-America? Pro-MAGA? Neo-Nazi?

Hacker News is not anti-government, any government. Hacker News is protectionist against competition. Everything is about socioeconomics. Hacker News does not give a damn about the well-being of Chinese citizens or uyghurs. What they actually care about is dismantling competition.
At the end of the way, we just need to go back down to the basics: human instinct. I'd like Hacker News to not pretend like they care about democracy.
>unless the article is blatant propaganda.
But you never considered all the anti-China articles posted here as blatant propaganda?

I'm not sure if equating being Chinese / pro-Chinese with being Pro-MAGA or a Neo-Nazi is what you want to be doing. But yes, I'm white male and from all the different possible pros today, probably more Pro-America than anything else. It's easily the least bad option.

Of which you have submitted none.
I will not submit. It's up to the rest of the Hacker News community. The reason why is because people will accuse me of CCP shilling.
I will only comment when I see obvious propaganda.
PS. It's probably impossible to post anything positive about China here. It'll get flagged and deleted in minutes. You can try it if you want.
Do you have any links to what we should post?
But just looking at your post history, I would suggest that for every negative story about China that you post, post a positive one about China too. Keep it 50/50. Balance.
Cheers.
I'm willing to bet you $1000 that that won't happen, unless the article is blatant propaganda.
In 2 minutes, I found two that were rather neutral:

Examples, please.
