Hacker News was supposed to be niche, but your inconsistency to demote threads of China (as they are consisntely upvoted), is now making Hacker News very generic.
You can ban me, I spend much more time reading than I do posting anyways.
But I know where Hacker news stands with their ulterior motives in doing so.
Almost evil.
Consistency is a red herring, not because we secretly side with one view, but because it's impossible. We can't moderate what we don't see, and we don't come close to seeing everything. If you see a post that ought to have been moderated but hasn't been, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it [4]. You can help by flagging it or emailing us at hn@ycombinator.com.

why haven't you banned the user chunghuaming?
his account is EXCLUSIVELY devoted to starting hellish flamewars.
Your hypocrisy is in suit of the entirety of western countries.
Western Countries are now on the wrong side of history for this one.
Are there re-education camps? Yes. Is it cultural assimilation or cultural genocide? I don't know.
Are there genocide as we understood as Armenian genocide or the Holocaust? I don't think there are many data to support that claim. If we say these two are the same, from what I can gather, it also trivializes Holocaust.
Desmond Shum fled China with his son after his wife, one of the richest women in China, was disappeared back in 2017. He was told all sorts of things, like a bullet was put in her head, but supposedly she called him briefly shortly after the book was published (he doesn't know for sure). His son (12 years old) often cries uncontrollably, as his mother has disappeared and not contacted him in years. He gives a detailed explanation of how business and power works in China, and to say it is anything like America or other Western liberal countries would be patently absurd.
High power is always corrupted. Even today we have Kennedy assassination, Eperstein, Assange. Desmond Shum is connected to Wen Jiabao. No 2 in China at its time. You think dealing with these people is not dangerous?
CCP is bad in different way than any other political organizations. That does not make China unique in any significant way at all.

Thanks for calling me out, and thanks for your efforts in keeping this place interesting..!
First make sure everyone agrees upon what happened to Uyghurs first.
China is closed to foreign examination in the sense that they do not want to show all the details. But BBC and western media decide that that's a legitimate excuse to allow manipulative reporting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eS8EceIa1MQ&t=101s
You are not going to get people to be honest, if you try to force that with lies.
Just look at the skin of the human being in both photos - the less saturated one looks 100% more natural (unless the guy actually has orange skin). If anything the over-saturated image is more misleading than the other, more dull, image. But neither are particularly egregious.
