> And this is why China is hated passionately in the West

No it isn't, it's the government that we find deeply grubby. And this subject is unrelated to china.

I wonder where is a deep hate for other brutal dictatorships du jour like Saudi Arabia, a great friend of US no matter how many atrocities they do internally or externally.

China deserves all the bashing it gets (and some more), but news of past weeks are very biased only and precisely against it. Like it would be, I dunno, orchestrated or something.

> like Saudi Arabia

It gets some hate, whether it's proper measure thereof, I dunno. Good question.

> China deserves all the bashing it gets

For clarity it would be helpful not to conflate the entirety of china with the chinese govt.

> are very biased only and precisely against it

Probably talking about "crushed bodies and broken bones". Rather sets the tone, don't you think?

OK, genuinely: give us some good news stories that are genuine (ie. not chinese government propaganda). It would be nice to hear another side.

@saiya-jin: You complained about anti-china news, I asked you for something more positive - I'm still interested.
I don't have any china-positive news per se and I don't follow them closely enough. Just pointed some feelings I have about China being all over the news these days. I do care more about stuff like Turkish offensive into Syria or continuous Yemen massacre orchestrated by Saudis.

Don't know about any Chinese external meddling like this, I guess we can call it a positive story considering these days.

Right but of course for the Western world China's largely non-violent crackdown on the Hong Kong protestors (with even the proposed law being repealed today) is a much more heinous atrocity than millions of Yemeni children literally starving to death because of SA's arrogant assurance of Western backing at any cost.
