It's explicitly against the site guidelines to post like this. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules, we'd appreciate it. Note this one: "Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and we'll look at the data."

It's particularly bad when internet users invoke these tropes to hound commenters with minority backgrounds out of a discussion. This has happened more than once on HN in the past, which is particularly shameful and totally against the desired spirit of the site.

I gather from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43632625 that it wasn't your intention, but this is what gets communicated by comments like the parent, whether intended or not. These effects happen all too easily, so we need to guard against them, which is why we have that guideline.

(I'm not taking sides for or against any country or position on a topic. This is about HN being a welcoming place for people of all backgrounds.)

OK, will change my behavior.

Appreciated!

Please confirm that it is only the one comment that did not meet HN's standards and my https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43632069 was OK.

It wasn't great because it was (1) generic and (2) on the border of nationalistic flamewar, but it's not one we would post a moderation reply to.

You are such a funny guy, I don't know how to prove it for a moment. I think I can prove it through my own knowledge. I don't need any so-called reward to explain the facts. I am a backend programmer, currently working on a large model project, using GraphRAG and DeepSeek to build a recommendation engine for Internet links. I am also interested in functional programming, such as lisp haskell minikanren. The salary of programmers in China is relatively high.

OK. I appreciate the reply. I meant no disrespect by my question.

You can never know. You need to visit China and judge for yourself and also take into consideration the cultural differences (some cultures prioritize outdoor smoking over having political liberties).
