>How about the 10's of millions of their citizens being poisoned or dying from pollution related illnesses?
Before you saying this, please update your source. Sorry, India is the most polluted country, and China is much better than lots of Asia countries, dear!
Have you heard the news that Mark has learnt Chinese very hard, and even placed Xi's book at his office desk trying to please the visited Chinese officials?
He didn't have any spine, and what he's doing right now just because he failed so have to change the strategy.
Yeah, that's funny to watch as an original submitter. 30 upvotes and 3 comments in 50 minutes. Seems like people have very little to say about the whole... incident. Other than point out that twitter security practices are not good for established company and you should not talk to police. Which are correct statements, but kinda generic, given the circumstances.
Just a nit pick, word Saudis mrans people of Saudi Arabia, like Americans means people of America. You can either say "replace Saudis with Chinese, or Saudi with China".
I think the audience in HN are crazy now. Why would you prefer Google than Tencent for same purpose of API? Should all Chinese scare that iPhone would send back all logs to California? Should they scare Tesla sent back all their driving data to US?
If you don't trust anything from China, would you destroy any electronics Made In China, including your smartphones, laptop, TV etc, or even some food?
I am not sure the foreigners, but actually right now more and more Chinese students studying aboard are back to China to work. In case you don't believe it, just added the link from QZ.com: https://qz.com/1342525/chinese-students-increasingly-return-...
They either grew up learning US values, or were natralized with the oath “I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic”.

In any case, they enjoy the freedom to access different opinions in the US, and should respect those opinions.
I’m a nobody American. I can demonstrate my freedom, if you’d like.
I, being of sound mind, declare that my President is shit. And he’s wrong about things. And his hair is ridiculous.
No consequences. That’s allowed. My real identity is adequately tied to this account, and I fear no repercussions for criticizing my government leaders.
In US, it's more scare to say you support Trump, and also it's declare to death that you say you don't like black people. And also, you are freely to say that in China, and you may get applause for that. Does that approve anything? Did you get my point?
I do appreciate your point that there are social consequences for certain kinds of personal expression. If I publicly support an unpopular political or religious or social view, it could damage my professional reputation and limit my job prospects.
But those aren’t government enforced laws. People can choose their own rules for speech.
If I insult my employer, I may be fired. There are social consequences for taking controversial stances—that’s true of all societies. But those aren’t legal consequences in the USA. Our government can’t intervene except for specific cases where you are inciting violence or physical danger when it comes to personal expression.
When it comes to speech, should the government have the power or should the people have the power? I don’t want my government to have that power over me, and I certainly don’t want China to have that power over citizens of the USA.
1. we are talking about freedom of speech. Whether the damage from the peers or from the administration, for the normal people, I don't think there is big difference.
2. I am not fully understand what's your meaning of China's power over USA citizens. I don't think Chinese government has enforced any US citizen do anything they don't want to do.
3. Boycotting is really normal in modern days, and it's a polite way to express your disagreement. NBA can stand with their point, but Chinese and Chinese government can boycott as well. Just like what Kaepernick did and NFL audience did.
