> Why do the major trade blocks ignore these actions? USA, EU... Careful now ... I know of several people who were banned from HN for being critical of China

  Who and when? If you're going make a grand claim like that, you should supply links so readers can make up their minds for themselves. HN is full of criticisms of China on any thread that touches even tangentially on China. We don't ban users for that. We ban users who repeatedly break the site guidelines, such as by posting nationalistic flamebait—especially if they do it repeatedly. Those are not at all the same thing. It's common, of course, for people to make grandiose claims about being banned for their noble views when really it was for their bad behavior.
