> I’m very confused why so many on HN are so pro China, despite it being the poster child for genocide and human rights abuses.
I go out of my way to comment on any posts related to China since it's a subject that I have studied immensely and am very interested in and I have noticed that anything I post that is slightly negative about China will get downvoted or flagged. I've chalked it up to the fact that HN is filled with people that are:
- opposed to anything (and everything) Trump does including clamping down on China
- opposed to anything (and everything) the US does. This includes US people and outsiders.
- native Chinese HN users/bots downvoting any content that is negative about China
