I'm just a baby computer scientists but when I was reading the title I immediately thought "no way that is possible in general" which is I suppose why it is a good paper.

good ideas can often seem pretty crazy.

Regarding the actions of the Trump Administration and trinkets-CIFUS [Committee on Foreign Invesment in the United States] and FARA [Foreign Agents Registration Act] enforcement are increasingly rather dramatically. I think these improvements are in SPITE of the actions of Donald Trump and his top lieutenants-but they are happening nonetheless. in fact they are probably happening in response to the very actions of Trump/Trump surrogates with Russia!

Criticizing china does not mean I do not criticize the actions of the United States.

nice tu quoque.

I deleted my main account recently-too much time spent on the HN/reddit.

I would not currently express beliefs like this on something that could be tied to my meatspace identity. I am an academic in a department with lots of international students and while I am not now prominent-I could become prominent and anyone with both eyes open knows how the chinese government responds to external or internal criticism.

I would be in the future be willing to accept that type of attack-but not over an HN comment.

You are making a grave mistake methinks. Those who sought power by riding the back of the tiger, ended up inside.

What I am saying is I don't trust the Chinese government to respect the human rights of my employees,the human rights of my customers, or my property rights.

The chinese government is a repressive, totalitarian, arbitrary, capricious, cruel regime; fundamentally incompatible with human dignity and freedom. The foundations of the chinese government are mortared with millions of bodies.

you are willing to compromise whatever moral beliefs you have-in exchange for what? for some money? for some prestige?

Is it worth it?
