This is funny that everytime China has something happening, I see posts that either implicitly hint conspiracy or intentionally black China emerge on hacker news. If you really want to prove something instead of only showing partial facts, please go through a thorough logical process.

Not only China and not only Hacker News.
I live in Russia and it's impossible to not notice that Russia is portrayed only in negative light in Western media. If there's some news from Russia on BBC, CNN, HN or any other western media, it's always negative. Often without any proof. Often wrong (as I can see by living here).
It's just a neverending media war: pour as much dirt on competitors as you can. People reading news rarely do fact checking. And it is also complicated by the fact that most westerners know only one language (hence they can't find/read any alternative opinion) and trust their media as "democratic and fact-checked by default" (which is absolutely wrong).
