People who hate the constant flamewars about China are probably flagging these posts. I've yet to see a single thread that's even tangentially related to the country not devolve into nationalistic tug-of-war.
There are pro-china posts with same discussions under them but nobody flags these posts. This is not specific to hn, a common thing you can see on other platforms. This is unacceptable, feels like censorship spreading from China to my home and it must be called out.
If you think HN has a pro-China bias, make some posts that express pro-China ideas, and see what happens to your karma.
I’m just saying pro-China guys good at flagging posts which criticize China. This doesn’t mean overall HN has a pro-China bias. You see posts praising China how did they achieve something about tech/production/organization etc with same flamewar comments under but nobody flags them and they reach first page, stay there as much as other non flagged posts.
I just joined and I believe I have encountered this already
