Yep. There's a tendency to single out China's bad behavior for stuff other world powers (including the U.S. for sure) also do.

A great example is China's meddling in Canadian politics these last few years. An ex-RCMP official pointed out that a lot of other countries do it, including allies. He singled out Russia and India, but also the U.S. (I mean, how could the U.S. not try to influence their neighbors' politics.)

But China makes the headlines, every single time.

I tried this exact scenario and didn't see any difference in load times. I'm using an ad blocker and it's definitely sluggish, but switching to a Chrome user agent made no difference.

It's certainly more portable than a flamberge or partisan.

Not disputing your main point, but they fired CEO John Riccitiello over this.

Bold of the media to assume Space X is gonna get anywhere near Mars any time soon.

 

I know this is a joke/meme, but I sincerely think of the Roman Empire a surprising amount of times. I find myself obsessing over how Roman citizens were living just as complex lives as we are today, or about Marcus Aurelius' life and philosophy, or about how the Republic fell and became a totalitarian state.
