I'm sorry, but I believe this kind of fearmongering and hidden xenophobia is not welcome on Hacker News.

They are not talking about Chinese people. They are talking about the Chinese government which engages in slave labor and forced organ harvesting.

Chinese Communist Party has over 90 million people.

Would you be okay if I had dismissed some company outright because it is a "Lutheran asset", "Turkish asset" or "White American asset"?

90 million people is around 6% of the Chinese population. In Nazi Germany approximately 13% of the population were members of the party.

You think there is a moral equivalence to the CCP and Nazis? This is China you are talking about... the country that has shown no military aggression outside its borders.

Have people already forgotten about Tibet? They also did invade Vietnam.

Tibet was within Chinese borders... remember it was called “the Tibetan independence movement”?

Invasion of Vietnam was in response to Vietnamese aggression. But you are correct it was outside their (disputed) borders.

Looking forward to the part you convince me that event was morally equivalent to the nazis.

No. They were talking about Tencent. Then without evidence drew a line to CCP...

It is alleged that Tencent was formed with funding from the Ministry of State Security[0](Chinese equivalent of KGB). They make propaganda games for the CCP as well[1].

And it’s alleged the internet was a department of defence project...

What do you think Call of Duty is? If not a patriotic “American is the best” propaganda piece.
