You sure love to bash on China. It seems like are your submissions/comments are anti-China.

Agreed, single purpose politically-charged accounts add a lot of noise, and really put a damper on this community's discussion. HN guidelines say to generally avoid submitting off-topic items such as political commentary, so shouldn't that same guideline apply to comments?

Besides, one could write a 'bash' script to do the same thing. 1) Find links to negative sentiment news. 2) Find key data and exaggerate in negative direction. 3) Splatter links and data on any HN discussion containing "China"

To be fair, sharedtea bashes Russia too. He has been warned by dang before. Guess that didn't change much.

Are you addressing them? or their argument?

Sounds like something you could say about a black American who's complaining about racism in America.

Why not bash the message rather than the person?

i don't like evil government. do you?

I know they're evil but from what you've written it seems that China is developing in spite of what the China PR government is doing. It could be better with a better system of government but we have what we have and I fear a disruption in something as big as the government of China would be very bad for the world economy in the short term. As the saying goes, it will likely become much worse before it gets better.

But what is your measure of evil?

US invaded Iraq twice for oil, and had deployed missiles to all sorts of non sovereign land, that had upset is neighbours.

Literally a 1-1 comparison for both your examples.

If that is your measure for "evil government" please point out a "good" government.

But... what if there's none?
