Please don't post nationalistic flamewar comments to HN. Comments like this are destructive of the forum, regardless of your views on the underlying issues. Protecting the commons from disintegrating and destroying itself is the higher priority here, for what should be obvious reasons.

Your interpretation doesn't change the facts around it. WHO lost significant portion of its funding for a while because exactly of China's self-interest influence. But because others, like you, see that as "nationalistic" and "destructive", that effort was in vain and to this day the status quo remains the same and the end result is at hand - "nobody can find out what triggered the pandemic."

My comment didn't disintegrate and destroyed more commons than said status quo. Inaction and censorship did.

When I say "protecting the commons" here, I mean that participants to HN need to post in a way that protects and enhances the forum, not contribute to destroying it. Everyone needs to do that regardless of how others behave, regardless of what the situation in the world is or you believe it is, or how strongly you feel about it.
