There's no formal media report on this, the stories that hit Chinese internet headlines are anecdotal and seem quite sensationalized.
The stories alledge that he argued with his Indian boss (which commonly features in all kinds of Chinese stories about Sillicon Valley tech companies), was denied request to change group, an emergency project was assigned to him, attempts to extend the dealine failed, the fear of being fired and family visas revoked drove him to that tragedy.
The story went viral in China, played on his past of being local National Exam champion from modest upbringing, and the popular notion of Chinese being coolies in SV and widely discriminated in the US.
It looks like you've been using Hacker News exclusively for political battle. That's against the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. We ban accounts that do it, regardless of their politics, because that way of using the site destroys the intellectual curiosity that it exists for. Some political overlap is of course inevitable—see the links below for explanation—but accounts whose purpose is to prosecute an agenda rather than meander curiously are not in the spirit of this site and in fact are destructive to that spirit.
Since this is a single-purpose account, I've banned it. If you don't want to be banned on HN, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com. We're happy to unban anyone who wants to use HN as intended in the future.
Edit: just to be clear, I don't think you were posting in bad faith. The issues are important and I'm guessing you have deep personal knowledge of them. But we simply can't have people using HN as a political platform.

> Clinton began his term believing that trade sanctions could pressure China to improve human rights conditions. But after a year of debilitating debate, he was forced to reverse his policy of link- ing trade to human rights. >He was right to do so.

Moreover, he has endorsed the view that increased U.S.-China trade can promote economic freedoms, which in the long run will spur the growth of political freedoms in China.
>This step alone will help to reassure Asian friends and adversaries that Clinton plans to get a better grip on foreign policy.
