What is really striking about the logic at work here is that you see the exact same thing happening in the most authoritarian countries. Saudi Arabia, Russia, Venezuela, and America. The media pumps out the same endless propaganda designating some external entity. The same idiots lap it up and whip themselves into a frenzy in daily two minute hate sessions. The same paranoia, the same hatred, the same fear.
As I said before, we've reached the point where this sort of behavior is practiced openly and without shame. This is key. This story was quickly voted to the top of HN and the comments are full of similar nonsense or defenders of the nonsense. That says it all but, ironically, there's not much else to be said because you really think China is the problem here and there's no rational discussion to be had with such committed ideologues.

In particular, "boo China" vs. "fuck you yay China" flamewars are equal parts dumb and destructive, and none of that is welcome here, so please stop it.

BTW while you are at it on Chinese access to IP. It is extremely clear that they are doing everything in their power to get access to it. Whether that is through illegal means such as the recent arrest of Chinese citizen in Belgium, or detention of another Chinese national working for Apple's self driving cars or even DuPont formally launching a complaint to US administration regarding it. Wake up and smell the coffee.

I would stop having so called anti-China concern once the people of China start electing their government leadership in a meaningful way.
mic drop. I will show myself out.
