Lots of westerners have hopelessly inaccurate ideas about China, as promoted by the western media.
Many uninformed people think China is an authoritarian commune with guards on every corner. Of course, anyone who has been to China knows it is a modern, prosperous, and socially stable country. Shanghai is the emerging financial capitol of Asia and the coastal provinces are the manufacturing hub of the globe. The people in China are enjoying steadily increasing longevity, health care, education, and wages. It is a great success story.
China bashers don’t bother me, so they shouldn’t bother you. Their comments are meaningless because they are inaccurate.

It can be the following.
1) They are trolling, they get a kick out of it
2) They do so because of the nonsense unrelated answers to questions put out by others. AKA past anti-Western bashing questions. Just because the West did something in the past, does it mean that China should do it?
3) Do you think that everyone comes to the China section should only to ask questions that only praise China.
4) Tit for tat. It seems ok for certain people to call
5) They want to point out mistakes that claim China is peaceful and would never do that kind of thing, think anti-cnn.com and the way it likes to point out mistakes.
Lets face it, aka the question below this one about the Vietnam war, its ok for Chinese to moan about the CIA giving funds, aid, training to the Tibetans but its ok for Chinese to give the same to forces fighting a government. One is called putting our voice out the other is called bashing China.
Lastly
6) They are curious about the things they hear and want to ask about them

Those are just senseless kids that either have nothing better to do or come up here with an evil mind. This is a Travel Section and not bashing or whatever man, have you seen similar questions raised in related to other countries? No! Are the bashers’ home country(s) immune of problems, discriminations, corruptions, poverty, unfairness? NO! And has anyone seen Chinese people, by blood, that go to other country(s) and bash the country and its people? NO!! Do you think Chinese people not aware the same problems of discrimations, unequal opportunities happening in other countries? NO!

There is not a Chinese politics section on yahoo.
Having a look at the politics section on yahoo it is geared up more towards USA politics. I would also guess that not a lot of Chinese people hang about in the politics section are put the China section where logically Chinese people would hang out.
From this I would raither that anything China related would end up in the Chinese section. If we were go to the extreme of your question. That would mean that questions on Chinese history, customs etc are not the correct place for this section and should go on the history/Society & Culture etc. To be honest while you may moan about the anti-Chinese group you to are just solely here to put your side of the story while not really having given anything to the section.
If you’re complaining that silly nonsense happens involving pesuo questions about china, when goodness know what you must think a bout questions or answers that are not even related to China or let alone answers that avoid the question but go on about “other” countries. Specially the times then the section was spam anti-USA anti-Israel questions.

there is a reason for anything…
either they want to have such spoiled section…
or just unable to cope with a couple of trolls…

Because there are trolls everywhere.
It just happens that there are far more trolls in this section than any other sections. I guess that is because this is the ONLY China section in the entire Yahoo Answer. And as China grows, it is becoming a bigger piece of the International events pie. People like to vent and that is how you end up with a section like this.
Personally, I would like to keep this section focused on “Travel”.

You didn’t specify which “silly nonsense” you mean. Sure there is silly nonsense here like in every section of Yahoo! Answers (that’s hard to avoid in a public discussion forum in an international open media society), but assuming you mean the questions about things like human rights abuse, ethnic conflicts, political and social situation, international relations, and so on, I would give two answers:
1. This is the only China section in Yahoo! Answers. If people want to discuss those questions (which they naturally want to, since they are discussed all over the globe, and this is one of few places where you actually get answers from Chinese themselves), they will do it here.
2. More directly, these questions are highly relevant even in a travel context. Tourism has an enormous influence all around the modern world. Many countries are primarily funded by the tourism industry; for many peoples, tourists are virtually the only foreigners they actually meet, the only direct contact with the free world for many people in living under authoritarian regimes; the tourism industry itself forms a great part of the picture we actually get of foreign cultures (many Western tourists think every Chinese is as pushy as the sellers in the tourist areas …); tourism has a profound inpact on the environment; and so on.
This means, tourism and travelling puts a huge responsibility on the shoulders of the tourists themselves. Every responsible traveller should ask a number of questions before they make their exotic leisure trips:
a) who benefits economically from my travelling? Poor locals? Oppressive regimes? Large-scale international tourism enterprises?
b) how does it affect the local population, for example in minority areas? Do they benefit? Does it give them a rare chance to meet foreigners, and in that case, do you have a good or a bad influence on them? Are they marginalized in the tourism industry by the majority population even in minority areas? Are they forcibly displaced to give way for hotels, tourism facilities, airports, showpiece monuments or highways, etc? Are the sellers, hotel owners and restaurant workers in exotic minority dress really minority nationals or just rigged out majority nationals?
c) how does it affect the environment? How much environmental damage is caused by the building of my hotel, my airplane trip, the economic and life-style change in the region caused by tourism, management (or dismanagement) of waste, the production of food and products for the tourist (pollution, endangered species, endangered habitats)?
All these questions need a lot of reading, asking and thinking. For me it’s actually difficult to see how any questions about a country could be irrelevant in a travel section.
