The Chinese government has repeatedly taken friendly overtures from us as a sign of weakness and an opportunity to steal our technology to use against us. You may not be used to hearing things critical of your government, but the fact is they have repeatedly lied to us and that tends to make relations difficult with the Chinese people for some.

At the moment, this is really not about the Chinese government. It's about human beings trapped under collapsed buildings, and rubble. Even if the new FR sign ups today are government agents by some weird but possible circumstance, it doesn't lessen my words or hopes to the people that are suffering and dying there right now.

I agree wholeheartedly.

I understand. The post was in hopes that we are making genuine connections here. Being insulated from much of the news we get, some of the new posters may not understand why some people are suspicious or hostile.
