It seems unlikely that someone posting on the blog of ArcGIS, a geographic information system, made a "mistake" by being unaware of the geopolitics of Taiwan vs the People's Republic of China.
In the absence of additional information, all we're going to get is the same old predictable geopolitical talking points. That's what happens when there's nothing but a single bit of provocation to talk about. That sort of high-indignation, low-information discussion is off-topic on HN.
