It's not hate pieces to talk about building military bases out of nothing in international waters, claiming they are now your territory, kidnapping the head of Interpol, kidnapping people in Hong Kong and other countries who write and complain about China. It's the truth.

Ok, you're not wrong, but you could make similar-caliber complaints about any of the rest of the UN security council. Or Israel. There's a whole cottage industry writing about them.

How come China specifically rockets to the top of HN whenever someone finds some negative press? And why did it start after dragonfly was proposed?

I do point out issues with other countries, like Isreali settlements, us supporting Saudi Arabian war in yemen. China is a lot more powerful than most other countries (like the us) and needs to stop acting like a bully, as the us needs to be careful to do too.
