While official reaction was muted, a few state media couldn't resist gloating. Unfortunately, nearly everything they said could have been about themselves.
Did you see the absolute bot pile on under Bethany Allen's tweet about how the entire China research sphere is exploding? Terrible. I vaguely know and like Bethany. Nobody deserves that.
It's happened to me once or twice. For me, strangely impacted less than single comments can. It reaches a point where every new comment actually starts levitating mood. Becomes ridiculous.
The weirdest part is just before the surge. A couple of comments trying different lines of attack — like prodding, probing weaknesses on a dam. And when they find one they like: whoosh. Flood of comments, hammering same theme. Coalesce. Not always the best line, but then I guess the is objective is to spam out uncomfortable narratives, demotivate — not to win the argument.

Why's the image of an Indian woman in a Sari (and without Bindi) though?
There's many cases where China's firing (at India / Indians) from American shoulders, but this is hardly that.
Most Indians, if anything are *happy* that American Interference in their country has reduced - even if only for 90days.
USAID was sponsoring terrorists who carried out the 26/11 Attacks which killed 180 people! (including 6 Americans!)
