    The comment section is wild

    [CW: racism]

    Comment 1.
    Is there sensitive info theft by Red China?
    Comment 2.
    The author tends to twist the narrative to sound racial, sometimes using "Chinese" orher tines "Asian". Chinese may be from Taiwan and Asian includes Korean, Japanese, Indian, etc.
    So, which is it - from Red China or elsewhere?
    Given that everything in PRC is under CCP control anything available to Chinese citizens in US is also available to CCP, how is it possible to allow such citizens access to sensitive info?

    This sounds like well dressed talking points of the CCP.

    “Scientists of Chinese descent“ is a misleading term. If they’re returning to their country of origin that makes them Chinese citizens. The issue has nothing to do with race as is implied by the article. It’s political. If any racism is involved it’s on the part of the CCP, which conflates nationality with ethnicity, viewing “others“ as those to be either assimilated or subjugated. If this is doubtful just ask the Uighurs how they feel about racism in China. Or better yet, take a trip there yourself.

        Westerners fucking LOVE opining about how Asian people are somehow secretly "the most racist".

        99% of the time it's based on the flimsiest evidence too. "I was on holiday in China and people kept looking at me and asking to take photos together." Bro, black people in the US and North Africans in France would not be constantly rioting for their rights if the worst thing that happened to them in the West is that crackas kept asking for selfies.

            I can only speak to China and Japan because those countries are where my experiences lie. I don't think it's really accurate to say that Asian people aren't racist except to suck up to whites. For example, internet nationalists on 2Chan in Japan will say the exact kind of /pol/ brain poison as the Nazis on 4chan, just towards somewhat different targets.

            That said, those types are hardly the general population, so let's put them aside for now. I would say that most racism in East Asia is a result of ignorance rather than malice. Even malicious racism doesn't cross over into overt hostility most of the time and actual violence is incredibly rare compared to the West.

            The West does have some part in this dynamic because most people's exposure to black people (for example) comes through Westoid media.

        China has more than one ethnic group and takes the orthodox marxist approach to dealing with this by taking extra care to not tread on toes with it

          Also, white people DO conflate nationality with ethnicity, ask any white person about the "magic dirt theory".

        It's amazing how they never see the contradiction there.

        I will never understand how Nascar-Americans will ping-pong from bragging about destroying everything in sight because they're a badass proud warrior race (but don't call us orcs, that's for Russians and browns!), and then claim that they are poor babbies who were victims of circumstance, and therefore should not have to take responsibility for what they regularly brag about doing.
