"Communist country suppresses critisism!" - News at 11.

I don't expect too much criticism of China in this thread. Too much Chinese money in SV startups for most people to risk it. I expect underhanded comments deriding the US instead as is typical in threads like these.
> Too much Chinese money in SV startups for most people to risk it.

Despite HNs sponsorship, I don’t get the impression that the readership is dominated by people financially dependent on the SV startup scene. Sure, they are overrepresented here, but given how small a percentage of world the SV startup scene is, it can be massively overrepresented and still be a minority position, and HN has a very broad audience.

Well there's a lot of people in here that don't work in SV.
That money is exfiltrated by millionaires breaking Chinese law.
A lot of readers here don’t live in US
China most likely own them too.
It’s an unfortunate state of affairs.
