There is not "general Chinese apologism" on HN. What there is, is divisiveness on China-related topics that is growing for social, geopolitical, and media reasons completely beyond the scope of this site. Moreover, the population on HN is majority Western (50% US, 30% Europe, 7% Australia/Canada, if I remember correctly), so views here are skewed in rather the opposite direction to what you suggest. HN users don't have to hold any particular views on these topics but they absolutely have to treat each other respectfully, including by not calling names (such as "Chinese apologism"), and nationalistic flamewar is not permitted. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html |

I apologize if the apologism comment went too far. It is my perception in reading HN comments, and is not meant to be a normative view of the facts, and especially not meant to be nationalist comment.
You also did not add anything to the discussion by trying to call me out as "disrespectful." This just further derails the discussion. I don't know what the goal of your comment was, but to get the discussion back on track I'll just add more sources to bolster my position and let any substantive discussion follow:
