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.

Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. That destroys intellectual curiosity, the value of the site.

How else to turn HN guys to do illegal and/or immoral privacy-related things if not to make them feel that they are doing the right thing?

Both of you are Han Chinese, judging by your post history, correct? While this may be intellectually hostile for you, it's certainly intellectually stimulating, and helpful to the people in your country who aren't of the ethnic majority (and to people of the ethnic majority outside of your country, in places like Taiwan, that your government desires to claim so strongly).

No, I am not. I am a white man living in Western Europe. Yet another time, you are wrong.

Half of your posts are in broken English, and your broken English isn't consistent with any language I'm aware of popular in Western Europe.

Your probably not familiar with all the langauges of Western Europe, and, in any case, a white man living in Western Europe need not be a native speaker or any language of Western Europe (they could, e.g., be a native of Eastern Europe now living in Western Europe.)
