Please don't take HN threads into tedious nationalistic or ideological flamewar. It's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for. You started a doozy here—exactly what we don't need.

No, that's not a defense of "China" (whatever that's supposed to mean in internet comments). It's just a defense of HN for its intended mandate, which is curious conversation. Flamewar talking points are incompatible with that.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
