See? The topic spurred a reply with a link to an article about a politician. The way politics works in the US currently, no matter what that article says, some people agree with it, and some people will not believe it.
I’m not positing an opinion on China - merely analyzing the voting tendencies of the HN community.
I don’t see how that in anyway refutes that the issue was contentious.
It seems that you’re misunderstanding current politics… An article with actual facts in a mainstream publication doesn’t change whether other people disagree with it, in modern United States politics. You mean you haven’t noticed that?
So, by contentious, I mean that it is something that makes people emotional about which some have differing views, like politics in general. Which is why we sort of avoid discussing them an HN, I thought.
