Maybe he/she’s Chinese or of Chinese descent? I have friends of Taiwanese descent that very much follow China closely and critically.

Maybe - but I think that if I posted 12 times a week about US transgessions - or German, or Irish, or Australian - I'd be facing a ban in extremely short order.

I'd not like to see this normalised.

Why do you think you would receive a ban for that? I don't think you would.

"Please don't use Hacker News primarily for political or ideological battle. This destroys intellectual curiosity, and we ban accounts that do it."

But I heartily encourage you to try it, and let me know how it works out for you. Perhaps you can get away with it by making 51% of your posts about random tech debris.
