It's definitely part communists, but I think mostly special interest groups, maybe even from China itself.

    Altering public opinion is definitely on their agenda. I'm not the type of person that screams China bad on everything, but this simply wouldn't surprise me. Also, nobody is trying to feel special here, except for you.
