Ridiculous. The thread is discussing Chinese espionage.
The topic of the submission is one relationship. A comment that sweepingly denounces all immigration from a country is the epitome of generic tangent and flamebait. If you weren’t aware of that, then now you are aware. The entire purpose of HN is to cultivate higher quality discussions than this.
> A comment that sweepingly denounces all immigration from a country
It isn’t a controversial idea anywhere else in the world to suggest that foreign nationals should not have access to critical infrastructure, and that is central to the whole discussion that is being had here.

It will be hard to fulfill that purpose if the discussions get shut down before they even occur.

Your initial comment didn’t mention “critical infrastructure”, and even if it did, it was posted in an inflammatory style, whereas one of the first rules of HN is to converse curiously.
Generic denunciations of immigration are almost guaranteed to lead to the lowest quality discussions anywhere in the world you bring them up. If you have anything new or interesting to say about immigration that can lead to curious conversation, you’re welcome to share it, but so far you haven’t tried.
Please stop acting like a jerk, both in this subthread and more generally on HN. Your comments are among the lowest quality we’re seeing on the site lately. Please try harder to contribute positively, or go somewhere else.
