How's this relevant for HN?

It’s interesting, certainly doesn’t fall into the “ If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.”-category.

Why would this not be relevant for HN?

It's some kind of obscure internal agricultural export dispute. Perhaps you can explain why that's interesting..

Obscure international agricultural export dispute? I don’t know about you, but that sounds very HN to me.

I’m not sure if that was intentional or not, but your choice of words (internal) seems to hint at why you might not want to see this discussed.

If this dispute was between any other peoples it wouldn't be here at all. Try to remember the last time something between Tibet and China being discussed here.

Oh fuck off, that’s a regular topic on HN (as is the plight of the Uyghurs). You can operate the search yourself and confirm this.

What are you hinting at anyway? Just spit it out.

Was I right or not?

Oh yes, this obscure Israel-Palestine dispute.
