Why is there so much anti-China propaganda posted here?
Can we have some balance? Maybe 50/50 positive/negative news on China here?
Gaining a different perspective is healthy. Don't just drink from one source.
Because modern people prefer free, independent nations with free and transparent elections and journalistic freedom and freedom from arbitrary detention, not 50/50 with dictatorships.
Considering that most threads about China go uncommented and only get a few votes I think it is safe to say that the majority of HN does not care about what people on HN have to say about China and any propaganda posted here is failing. The front page is more representative of the HN community, don't put much stock in the new postings.
Why don't people attempt gaining perspective from their opposing political party? It's tough to break through ego's, for one. But secondarily, what's happening in China isn't directly relevant to many HN readers. One can proselytize to the domestic opposition party with the hope of moving a needle on a relevant current issue. Practically, there's no table stakes or advantages to reading positive pieces about China. And feeling bipartisan about something gives the impression of common ground, even if the parties passionately disagree on other issues.
Can you share some examples of positive news on China? (as in, actual news, not CCP propaganda)
Media reports can only be used as entertainment gossip and cannot be trusted, especially the media with colored glasses and double standards.
There's nothing positive about the CCP
Uh, isn't it obvious? This is an English language forum? China is one of the primary adversaries to the English-speaking world?
Because the US is essentially just a war machine.
