Chinese here (and sorry for the bad English).
I agree with everything FooBarWidget said, and it's super annoying every time HN has an anti-China boner based on ridiculous things (don't even let me start about Reddit.)
And then, I found myself.. don't want to risk saying anything here with my main account (hence this throwaway account), even if it's defending China.
Will anything happen to me? Very unlikely, even if I "curse Xi". But still, I don't want any topics about Chinese politics to be related with my main ID, "just in case". Unlike FooBarWidget who (by glancing at his Twitter) has settled in EU, I don't have this luxury still plan to go back to China.
I found this whole "mental gymnastics" I have myself ironic and, to be honest, pathetic. So I just stopped. :/

I'm posting as my main account and I hope the downvotes are the only repercussion. I think it's fair to bring attention to when the discourse gets a little one-sided.
