The dataset, which allegedly contains more than 10 petabytes of sensitive information, is believed by experts to have been obtained from the National Supercomputing Center (NSCC) in Tianjin – a centralized hub that provides infrastructure services for more than 6,000 clients across China, including advanced science and defense agencies.
I seriously doubt China assassinates foreigners on foreign soil. They’re not America or even the USSR.
😂
🤣 even
If China was assassinating foreigners in foreign countries, every lemmy user would hear about it, there’s multiple dedicated accounts that do nothing but post anti-chinese articles.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence etc.
Basing your international assassination evidence on lemmy posts, or lack there of, is hilarious.
It kinda is, since it implies chinese assassins either don’t exist or are so small and super-competent they haven’t left any evidence. Billions of people have phones and we don’t have footage of alien abductions or Bigfoot, the absence of evidence is evidence of absence
There is no publicly available evidence that you have ever talked to a woman, therefor I conclude that you are afraid of women. There is no publicly available evidence that your mother loved you, therefor I conclude that your crippling fear of women stems from the lack of motherly love.
I just figured out your whole life story based on absence of evidence. According to you, that’s completely fine and good.
One is extremely newsworthy, the other is not. Bad comparison, stupid argument.

It seems that there are multiple accounts set up to downvote anti-Chinese comments, so equilibrium is maintained.
I think you’re being naive. Nobody can embarrass/piss off a world power then think their safe because they aren’t a citizen of that county.
China recently passed an amendment to their Cybersecurity law giving them more power to go after international hackers like this.
China could pay someone to track down the hacker and catch or kill them. I think they have a part of their government for that actually. Maybe they quietly put a bounty on their head. How is china going to prevent this person from continuing to hack them or teach others how to do it? This is a serious problem for whoever hacked them.
The Chinese government has been pretty careful about following the rules when dealing with other countries, largely out of a naive belief that if they follow them, other countries will treat them accordingly, not understanding international norms is just America playing Calvin ball.
See: China joining the WTO, followed by the US simply breaking the organization to prevent any rulings against itself, or China’s support for the Philippines and Indian governments instead of ideologically aligned communist movements, as if helping them stabilize themselves would benefit China in future dealings.
Alternativelly, they’ve just been competent in the execution of their less savory intelligence operations and thus not been caught doing something too outrageous.
It makes a lot more sense for China to arrange an “overdose” than shoot somebody in the middle of a busy street in broad daylight from a car with diplomatic plates and a Chinese flag.
Same for all other countries, by the way, though in Autocracies politicians have less to worry if the country ever gets caught murdering people in foreign soil than politicians in Democracies do (though, judging by a century of American murders, even those in supposed Democracies almost never have to worry about it)
Even India assassinated a Canadian on Canadian soil. .
China sets up fake police offices in the US to harass Chinese citizens living there. If that doesn’t blow up your mind…

What blows my mind is that you read an article, and brought it up months or years later, and applied zero critical thinking.
What’s more likely? China set up fake police stations in America, where they have no authority, so they can be mocked by people they have absolutely no power over?
Or they’re there to provide legal services to Chinese citizens living abroad?
I’m quite doubtful that you’re aware of the situations nuance, either. Is your best argument “what’s more likely?” Because, actually, I think it’s quite likely that China would have been instructive toward how their citizens should act abroad. I think it’s quite likely that China favors its own sovereignty over an individual’s sovereignty. If you’d try to convince me that there was no intimidation going on, I’d think you’re the one not applying critical thinking. Do you have any reason I should believe you over a much larger consensus between news organizations and reports from Chinese individuals? Anything that would demonstrate the opposite and more benevolent intentions of Chinese state efforts, as you’ve so claimed? Or are you just here to pose baseless claims and talk shit?
Anything’s possible when you make shit up
Canada would like a word with you.
What we’re talking about is “The Great Game”, not Tit-Tac-Toe.
Downvoted for being right, by delusional americans
For making fun of Pooh or talking about Tiananmen square? No. For selling a bunch of top secret military documents? I wouldn’t be so sure.
please mention xinjiang next. i need to fill this bingo card
A tankie hot take from ml? Who could have seen that coming?
