Looking forward to seeing how the China apologists spin this one. Perhaps an entree of whataboutism, main dish of unfair Western media portrayal and finally allegations of veiled racism for dessert.

They’re usually the first comments in these posts - perhaps stuck in traffic?

That depends. I would probably be labeled as a "China apologists".

It depends on what opinion you want.

Overall China/Taiwan relations? US's role in this? Historical opinion dating back to 100 years of humiliation? China's Civil War? Human psychology? China's perspective? US's perspective? Economic competition? Propaganda on both sides? etc.

There are a lot of people on HN who read a Wikipedia page, reads pure anti-China mainstream news, and then thinks he/she knows what is right or wrong.

But I think you're only looking for people to say "China bad" right? And then if they counter with something, you'll just say "but look at this documentary", right?

In my opinion, the most grounded and logical response in this thread is from @brmgb.
