Just so we're clear, HN users find a story about China temporarily detaining a US pilot to be top-of-front-page relevant, but the story about the US bombing 30 innocent farmers in Afghanistan gets flagged to death.
Most such stories fall apart after a little prodding. Almost always, detentions are either dumb mistakes, quickly reversed, or the result of actual lawbreaking. Often you read a little further and it's like, "well yes, the drugs I was selling were technically against Chinese law, but..."
However, that is not as fun a conclusion as joining in on bashing the outgroup.
If they are already there, they either get paid order of magnitude better(yes I’m not kidding some can’t even find job in US) or China brings tons of profit to their business (cheap labor and lower cost ecosystem) such that they accepted the risk.
