That's right. I believe the solution is for people to develop and apply their critical thinking. It's the way to prevent Nayirah testimony, Iraq's WMD or similar from being used as excuses for war again.

Since this is the second post of the same report on HN today. I would like to suggest fellow HN readers to research a bit into Adrian Zenz first.

Many redditors have noticed the recent trend in the news and posted their observations and researches. Please search for "Adrian Zenz" in the comments of these Reddit posts:

Edit:

Some articles that also shed some light on this topic

Edit 2:

Here is an interesting video of the author (Max Blumenthal) challenging Adrian Zenz in person on Capitol Hill

A youtuber Daniel Dumbrill's interview of Max Blumenthal:

Daniel Dumbrill also did some research:

> I don't know his history

Many redditors have revealed Zenz's background. Please see the second half of the comments (top ones are the typical "China Bad" ones)

https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/ixjuq2/china_for...

What's interesting is that there is censorship in r/worldnews.

After many people exposed Adrian Zenz's background and history, this post with 4k+ comments and nearly 50k upvotes got removed from r/worldnews front page and replaced by a new one with <200 comments and 1k upvotes which nobody got a chance to mention Adrian Zenz yet.

The new one:

It's easy to blame China for everything these days.

Google translated:

'He probably refers to Samsung. That company would have "spoused" the spies to steal the software and start their own business, thereby creating a competitor for ASML. The software is needed to set up chip machines for optimum production of electronic chips.

In 2016, Samsung became a 30 percent shareholder in Xtal, and ASML subsequently lost Samsung as a customer for this software.'
