“Should we just not talk about this awesome new tech?”
“No, let’s put China in front of this totally awesome thing so people will think it’s bad while we hype it up as such a great invention in the article. Oh and don’t mention working conditions, state subsidies, mineral extraction, or any of the usual anti-China talking points, that might make them think it’s not bad”
I’m sorry you live with so much gratuitous hatred in your heart and I pray you can recover some day.
How is pointing out the flaw in your logic "gratuitous hatred"? It doesn't make any sense that the rationale for calling it "China's battery" is to make it sound bad, when the article is clearly extolling the virtues of the battery.
Or is it the part where the other commenter brought attention to the working conditions in China? Because that's not motivated by hatred, but rather class solidarity. How badly do you have to hate Chinese people to believe Chinese workers don't deserve better conditions? What about ethnic minorities in China who are having their cultural heritage stripped away from them?
Is it because the government officials aren't white, so you believe they can do no wrong? So you'll just call any legitimate criticism of them racist? That's like Israel calling anti-zionism anti-semitic. There's nothing sinophobic about legitimate criticisms of the PRC.
People who support China don't seem to comprehend that shitty countries aren't a zero sum game.
You can shit on China's government while also shitting on the US government.
