This looks boring. This is a scene that plays out in every company weekly. The stakes are trivial, there is no evidence of ill intent anywhere. Nobody has done anything particularly badly behaved. Nothing here is a shining example of good behaviour. There isn't a feel-good aspect.
I suppose the question is, who are the 100+ people who upvoted this, and why?
It was good clickbait. The title made me think something similar to the recent security issue with the University of Minnesota[1] was happening again, but from Huawei this time
Hate is a strong word. Dismissing it as simply 'hate' is emotive language (and dishonest, I think) in that it tries to guide the reader to the conclusion that it is completely unreasonable. A more honest word to use would be 'mistrust'
"Hate" is a word that has a variety of meanings, and I was using it as a suffix - it's basically a synonym for '-aggro', a way to describing a pattern of oppositional or antagonistic behavior. (My usage is colloquial. If I were saying what you have mistakenly read it to mean, I would have mentioned hatred of China", or maybe "China hatred".)
I am not using it "dishonestly", and I think that the conclusion it guides people to is completely reasonable and accurate - we should dismiss the majority of opinions that take the form "yup, that's just like China" or "China is doing this shit again? what a surprise."
The behaviors of individual workers in a system where they're being incentivized improperly don't have anything to do with China's current geo-political actions, and I get tired of so many people acting like 'China' (or 'the GOP' or 'California') is a single coherent entity with self-consistent behavior at all scales.
