People arguing here about US foreign policy or censorship are neither bots nor Chinese agents. I'm not naive in believing this.

> The CCP is hostile to many Western values (e.g. free speech) and they are a primary geopolitical antagonist to the U.S. It's not unreasonable for a mostly U.S. user base to see the worst in CCP behavior or be biased against the CCP.

That's neither here nor there. This is what I'm actually replying to:

> Did the article imply somewhere that China is unique in it's censorship?

And my answer is: maybe not the article itself, but everything that gets said here on HN (where the article got quoted) has that implication. In fact, your very answer has that explicit implication! So you are proving my point.
