The pro-china movement on HN is extremely strong. It's fun to look at all the pro-China commenters, and then look through the account history for how long their account has existed, the kind of articles they submit and their comments.

It couldn't be more obvious.

Look at it this way- they basically are not allowed to say anything else. I pity them but at the same time I hope things improve for them.

If it's voluntary, they could voluntarily say nothing instead.

"Voluntary" under pressure or fear for safety, repercussions, of course is not voluntary.

All your peers are doing it and improving their social credit scores. Do you want to fall behind your peers?
