Why is the article flagged? I've seen this happen to a few posts about China lately. Its starting to hurt the discourse on HN, its unhealthy for the forum.

Do they give a reason for flagging? Seems like there's a bias in play.

A post becomes [flagged] when enough users flag it, moderators can only unflag.

It is flagged as criticism of China is not permitted on the internet.
