I don't think anyone is accusing YC of being communist, they're more concerned because of their desire to move into the Chinese market. And there's a clear trend between businesses moving into China and censoring anti Chinese voices

Well, where to begin. First of all, YC left China. Second, there is no dearth of "anti Chinese" voices on HN, which is a problem, because nothing as crude and nasty as "anti-Chinese" belongs here. I wish people would stop and think about this for a second or two. Do we really want to hound people of Chinese descent out of this community? Is that the kind of human you/we want to be? Because that's the mob behavior this amounts to. From my perspective, Chinese people have as much of a right to participate here as you or I do, and people who have a problem with that are in the wrong. That's not because I favor China. I just favor decency.

Third, this site has a serious problem with nationalistic flamewar, in which people vent their anger against another country in cartoonish ways. That is wrong and stupid, but worst of all it is tedious. On a site dedicated to curiosity, anything tedious is off topic.
