I don't have anything to say about whether or not the article is anti-China propaganda, but I just wanted to address this comment because there's some underlying assumptions being made here about names and ethnicity. In this day and age, I don't think a name is guaranteed to tell you much about a person. It's a bit fallacious to say "she has a Chinese name, so she's probably not against China." She could be from Taiwan or Hong Kong, both of which have plenty of reasons not to like China. She could also have been born and raised by Chinese, Taiwanese, or Hong Kong parents in any other country. I have an incredibly "white" name, but I'm ethnically Korean. I know I'm an outlier, but it gives me first-hand knowledge that using names to assume things about people's ethnicity (and from that, their beliefs) is not a good tactic. |
