Full of bs that rides the trending US narrative on China. How much a self-fulfilling bubble of lies the western propaganda machine has weaved. Reading this article makes me feel like reading a white day dream that totally misses the reality, but checks all the right marks for the crusader mentality.

I see how quickly this gets down voted. I guess the media is not to be blamed for fabricating all kinds of lies, for it what does is only a reflection of what the western audience wants to see. The world is dividing just as quickly as the US is dividing internally. I would not doubt the possibility of another cold war, if the US bloc continues down this path by painting rivaling nations with a different ideology as a heretic against US' version of democracy and freedom, as an ultimate evil to be crusaded, its people as mindless zombies brainwashed and eager for a quick dose of freedom drug. After all, the zealous fever commits all the worst atrocities with the most self-righteous goals. History has repeated itself enough times to not see the obvious.

The comment is getting downvoted because it is a flamewar rant, which is not in the spirit of this site and breaks its rules: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

When disagreeing, try to respond neutrally and with specific, better information. I know how hard that is to do when representing a minority/contrarian viewpoint, but it's even more important to do it in that case. If instead you lash out and break the rules, you discredit your own truth and reinforce the other side's perception of it.
