The amount of pro-chinese spam here is having the opposite effect.

Dozens of new (a few hours or less) accounts, all saying the same thing. That looks... rather suspicious. The scale is amazing.

I'd say someone is rather aggressively defensive.

Unfortunately, I am also one of the new accounts you said. As an ordinary citizen of China, I basically don't visit this website. Because of this unscientific unscientific and unfair article, I specifically registered an account to comment. Many new accounts come based on the same reasons as me. I am not proficient in English, this is from Google Translate.

So you "basically don't visit this website". So how did this article come to your attention? And to the attention of so many other Chinese who have never commented here before?

You're not even going to Science Magazine to yell at them; you're coming to a discussion on a completely different, unrelated site.

This sure looks like someone's orchestrating this response...

It seems that holding an account registered since 2013 makes you proud enough to say ironic words about new accounts. We are not native English speakers but try to make our opinions heard ANYWHERE the article and the ridiculous conclusion mentioned.

By the way, how do u know we have not sent emails to Science Magazine and yelled at them?
