Here's a quick (terse) summary of what happened up-thread:

"I'm physically in China and I find that the NYT reports on China often don't match the reality that I see." "Shut up xinhua shill"

Comparing the quality of xinhua and NYT is completely tangential to the point I was trying to make. I'm not saying we can't or shouldn't have a serious discussion about China. I am saying that such a conversation is not happening here. I expect better than this HN.

How does the contigenics 'see' the lack of zombie factories? Are they flying in a helicopter to fact-check the NYT? I think not.

I see. Let me view that NYT report right now. Oh, wait, I can't, for some reason NYT is blocked here. Well, I can check out china daily at least.
