Why is everyone online so incredulous of this breakthrough? Is it just Sinophobia or are there reasons to doubt Chinese medical findings?

There’s reason to doubt all sensationalist medical headlines

But this is 1 patient, no long term effects studied (just doesn’t need insulin injections), and hasn’t been validated

Nothing to do with China

Because in the past we've seen a number of similar headlines that never became reality, so people are naturally skeptical.
