Yea, about that thread, I just read the whole thing, and while a bunch of posters were accusing everyone of being sinophobia, no one said anything negative towards the Chinese people, they just expressed concerns towards Tencent being an arm of the Chinese government.
China isn't a democracy, so when powerful Chinese companies that have to operate in China start buying large chunks of non-Chinese companies, people are going to be a bit anxious. that's not sinophobia. This reminds me of the current "russiaphobia" that is going around.
