I'm cool with that to be honest. I'd kinda suggest as mods that either (a) just outright stop/ban these kind of political and/or China focused posts, or (b) adopt hardcore moderation if and when they rear their heads. I comment regularly on China related issues in other forums, and it's pretty boring watching any debate related to China get the same treatment by pro-China commenters. At least in my eyes, an 'ad hominem' attack or callout of 'wumao' style commenting like mine is part and parcel of pro-China commenters hijacking debates about China with endless comparisons to the US and blatant equivocism and falsehoods - i.e. I don't think you can allow one and not end up with the other. HN maintains high standards of debate and behaviour which perhaps aren't compatible with this kind of polarized debate. All the best :)
