> Go on any Chinese social media site and the amount of nationalist rhetoric you'll find is quite disturbing

Thank you for pointing this out. The amount of nationalistic remark from some HN commenters is also quite disturbing.

Denial, ad hominem, and cynicism seems to be their strategy. Most China submissions that they don’t like suddenly forum slide like crazy by triggering the flame war detector; downvoting anything they don’t want to hear without merit.

This is the kind of off-topic accusation that both sides hurl at each other, to the precise extent that they feel passionately about the subject, and in clear violation of the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. It's toxic and information-free. Please don't.
