    Dude is already self aware so not sure what the point of this post is. Maybe he’s asking if China has been investing in swimming or something obvious. He wasn’t accusing China of anything my man

      i mean, they were incredulous enough to make a reddit post about it, and considering the context of reddit-China relations i figured it was noteworthy

      also don't call me 'my man'. we have pronouns here for a reason, I'd appreciate not assuming I'd be ok with masc-gendered terms thanks.

        I have no idea what Reddit China relationships are and I doubt there even is one. It sounds like you’re trying to force something that doesn’t exist, my woman.

        Ellen pao is Chinese and she was a Reddit ceo. Stop acting like a removed and grow up.

          I have no idea what Reddit China relationships are and I doubt there even is one.

          So are you genuinely ignorant about how redditors are constantly engaging in sinophobia with the encouragement of their mods and admins, all while being a major vector for spreading ridiculous anti-China propaganda? Or are you so dense as to think that u/yoink was referring to some official state relationship the CPC has with a US social media company?

          Ellen pao is Chinese and she was a Reddit ceo.

          Ellen Pao was born in New Jersey. Like, do you think olympic medal winners from the US who have Chinese heritage should be said to have won a medal for China?

          Stop acting like a removed and grow up.

          I'm not sure what slur you just used, but stop being a shitbrained bigot and grow up.

          Using the D-word sus

          Ellen Pao was also a freeze-peach POS who would've preferred it if r/jailbait had stuck around, so sounds like a perfect fit for both Reddit and you.

          Another thing to keep in mind is that China is an authoritarian country... When you have access to unlimited funds, and the power to take talented children away from their families and dorm them in battle schools, and train them full time with the best coaches in the world, sometimes it's easy to gain dominance in a sport.

          This kind of sinophobic nonsense being commonplace across the entire site is what people refer to with the relationship between reddit and China. Browse any thread where China is the topic (and even sometimes when it isn't!) and you'll get some unhinged red scare posting.

          I have no idea what the nationality of a former CEO has to do with anything.

            No idea who you are quoting here and what this has to do with me. Ya’ll say the most outlandish shit around here and get upset that no one else agrees with you after you shit on people. Go figure.
