>I see pasabagi criticizing xtian’s specific comments and approach.

I see him implying that the comments/observations are not in good faith and that he might be paid for taking the positions he takes. This seems completely unnecessary and quite rude.

>Assuming any negative comment about China to be an attempt to scam us into a war also seems like a mistake.

You may not recognize the increased sinophobia in the west but it is part of a well funded centralized effort to demonize and increase the potential for kinetic warfare between western countries and China. The fact that HN acts like an echo chamber for state approved anti-Chinese perspectives doesn't help matters.

A close reading of sino-western historic/economic relations results in a very different perspective than the one which is promoted in western MSM by corrupted organizations.

This notion that everyone skeptical of western defense contractor funded claims is paid by China is a sad evolution of the close minded rebuttals that existed during the Iraq WMD period.

There is no counter to this false claim online which is why it is unfortunately effective in shutting down discourse.

I guess we are stupid enough to walk into a potential war the same way we were scammed into one not too long ago. We already forgot the lessons as a population.

>U.S. targets Chinese Uighur militants as well as Taliban fighters in Afghanistan

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/u-s-targets-chinese-uighu...

They were considered terrorists, then at some point during the Syrian regime change project, imported Uyghur fighters became useful allies to the US along with Al Nusra, Al Qaeda and ISIS.

US is also currently rehabilitating an Al Qaeda militant's image to make him the 'Juan Guaido' of Syria...

>Bitcoin cannot succeed past a certain level because then it competes with the USD and becomes a threat.

It already is a threat to the USD and the game theory ensures anyone fighting against Bitcoin loses in the long run.

If the US wants to lose miners/nodes, large holders, and fintech innovation to other more free countries, they should take the view that you are sharing, but they will also lose the future in the process.

I disagree, NATO countries (including Japan) have benefited from sabotaging/disrupting Chinese trade for more than a century. They know what they stand to gain by making China the "virus spreader/origin" of the world.

The Fauci emails in March 2020 that described the exact components of the virus with subject 'coronavirus bio-weapon production method' hints at the actual purpose of this release.

What incentive does Bing have to hide evidence of a failed CIA coup attempt in China?
