The fact this fully-referenced post got insta-downvoted to -1 says it all about HN.

I strongly suspect it would be beneficial to require a downvote to be accompanied by a comment. Even if it is an optional thread property depending on the nature of the link posted, and is at moderator’s discretion.

> It says all about HN. You mean well educated? "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"; Wikipedia and lots of writeups tracing back to the singular source of Adrian Zenz are not it sadly

  Most of the claims have nothing to do with Adrian Zenz, and I’d love to know what you have against him since his reporting seem to be factually accurate.

    This person is making the extraordinary claim that all the provided evidence is bullshit, but ironically delivers no substantial evidence themselves, besides asserting "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence". This is what cognitive dissonance looks like.

      > This is what cognitive dissonance looks like Incorrect, that's what someone on mobile in public transport looks like, but thank you for the benefit of the doubt (?) I would be still interested in non-Zanz related sourcing to the original comments if you have any

        In this context you cannot find any sources that cannot be construed as shady in some way since none of them are official. You of course know this, and you will just question any source thrown at you, as you did previously. So why are you even asking? What's your point? That we don't know for sure whether the CCP is bad? Constant lies and not letting people leave the country aside, how many more screaming indicators of abuse do you need?

You referenced Wikipedia articles - says a lot about your inability to properly conduct research. How about referencing the original sources instead?
