The dataset, which allegedly contains more than 10 petabytes of sensitive information, is believed by experts to have been obtained from the National Supercomputing Center (NSCC) in Tianjin – a centralized hub that provides infrastructure services for more than 6,000 clients across China, including advanced science and defense agencies.

      If China was assassinating foreigners in foreign countries, every lemmy user would hear about it, there’s multiple dedicated accounts that do nothing but post anti-chinese articles.

        It seems that there are multiple accounts set up to downvote anti-Chinese comments, so equilibrium is maintained.

          What’s especially fun is that my original comment wasn’t even unique to China. You steal any government’s military secrets and try selling them, you better watch your back for life. China just happens to be the target in this case.

          But all these goobers couldn’t handle someone suggesting that the Chinese government isn’t some paragon of forgiveness.

        Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence etc.

        Basing your international assassination evidence on lemmy posts, or lack there of, is hilarious.

          It kinda is, since it implies chinese assassins either don’t exist or are so small and super-competent they haven’t left any evidence. Billions of people have phones and we don’t have footage of alien abductions or Bigfoot, the absence of evidence is evidence of absence

            There is no publicly available evidence that you have ever talked to a woman, therefor I conclude that you are afraid of women. There is no publicly available evidence that your mother loved you, therefor I conclude that your crippling fear of women stems from the lack of motherly love.

            I just figured out your whole life story based on absence of evidence. According to you, that’s completely fine and good.
