anti-chinese sentiment is very common on hackernews. Goes into pure racism a lot of the time.

Hang on though. Lets not conflate China the country, with Chinese the inhabitants. I can be highly suspicious of China and Russia the countries without feeling any animosity towards the people who are from there.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the Chinese government's authoritarian censorship policies or great firewall.

I’d call it anti-China sentiment, which isn’t racism at all. There’s plenty to dislike about the Chinese government and Chinese nationalism.
