I doubt it. I've noticed that China stories similar to this one are pretty consistently down-weighted once they hit the front page. They'll get knocked to the very bottom of the first page, or more usually the second page, regardless of how many votes they get.
It's a very subtle form of censorship. The post still exists, just with drastically reduced visibility.
I don't think that explains it either. On most of the stories I'm talking about (including this one), there are little to no comments before the story is down-weighted. There's no flamewar for an algorithm to spot.
It really feels like topic-based censorship, and likely manual since it seems reactive to popularity.
