The problem is it all boils down to sinophobia/racism. At the end of the day, white people in America can't bear the thought of a non-white country surpassing them as the world leader.

Edit: it looks like you've been using HN primarily for ideological battle and flamewar lately. That's a problem. We ban accounts that do that, because it's not only against the intended spirit of the site, it also destroys it for what it's supposed to be for (curious, respectful conversation). Would you please take the intended spirit more to heart so we don't have to ban you?

Seems like your point of view is that anything that goes along with the US-centric point of view is bad and is flamebait.
Am I not allowed to talk about structural racism? Am I not allowed to share my perspective on current and historical actions by the US?
Or am I only allowed to say, "Yes, the US is perfect. We are all good here. We have no problems and have never had any problems."
Might as well not even have a discussion board at that point. Just links with no comments allowed.
In fact, it was a textbook example of what the site guidelines ask you not to post. Would you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html? Note this one, among the many that you broke: "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive." That's there for good reason.

It isn't about your views, it's about comment quality. That has nothing to do with the U.S. or anything else that you mentioned; it has to do with internet forum dynamics. We're trying for thoughtful, curious conversation here. That requires conscious care on all our part or we'll end up with the internet default: a forum that sucks, bursts into flames, and eventually burns to a crisp. The way you and other users perpetuated this flamewar is an example of that outcome—another textbook example actually.
I know it always feels like the mods must be against you when you get moderated (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...), but if it helps at all, your counterparts on the opposite side feel like we're secretly on your side. This is routinely true on all divisive topics.
