In some places censorship is done to make the space safe for advertisements. In other places it's to maintain social harmony. I wish people could get out of this reflexive "china bad and i must mention that every time the country is discussed" mindset it's so toxic and limiting

Criticizing malice is never toxic. I wish people could get out of this reflexive "you criticize my country? But your country is also bad because..." - it shouldn't even be treated as a counterargument, but as an admission of guilt.

I'm not bothered by criticism of China, it's the context and fixation. When an american company releases technology, i don't see the comments full of "Iraq war killed a million people" but i do see similar for China. It's just so exhausting

So if the America was criticized, then criticizing China wouldn't bother you? How come every time China or russia are criticized, the comment section is filled with "but America too!"? The way I see it, it's just an admittance of guilt by supporters of the empire of evil.

I would prefer if achievements in countries could be discussed without detailing a list of everything they've done wrong. I was using Iraq as an example, i would also be annoyed if someone brought it up every time OpenAI releases a new product
