Pointing out the lack of Democracy in China is hardly a “shallow” dismissal.


Let's not confuse the importance of an issue with the depth of internet comments about it.


You want the long form? Fine… Writing something like: “Shanghai is highly livable.” means you consider adult citizenship without proper voting rights to be acceptable. This is an endorsement of tyranny. How “livable” is Shanghai to its residents when they ask for an end to one-party rule?


Sorry, but that is more nationalistic and political flamebait—just the sort of thing we don't want on HN because of the low-quality, repetitive, and nasty threads it leads to. No more of this, please.
