One thing I have noticed it seems all Chinese posters on S.I. and on other sites as well, no matter where they live or come from seem very defensive if anything is stated with a negative light toward China. It could be news articles opinions it doesn't seem to matter??

Any reason for this. It seems to imply if you don't live in China or are not of Chinese heritage you simply can not understand.
