Oh look, top post about a story where China is taking pro-democracy political prisoners is defending China.

Why am I not surprised.

If you think this post was "defending" China, then you have a very thin skin for dissent. I was instead trying to discuss the challenges these activists may face and why attempts by the west to "help" may backfire.

Because HN does a good job allowing active debate on a complex subject?
