honestly I thought he was talking about google

At this point you really have to conclude that the intense anti-China bigotry here on HN is a deliberate strategy. Hate is who people like scooke are and HN makes every effort to spread and amplify that hate.

Please don't post nationalistic flamewar comments to HN, or project the enemy of your view onto the whole of this community. People are simply divided—and they're biting each other's heads off, which is not cool and needs to stop.

What I find remarkable is how one comment accuses a Chinese company of trying to "destroy" a "way of life" and there is absolutely no consequence, the comment is in no way highlighted as unusual or unwelcome. I know a lot of people who work at Huawei. They are some of the most boring and kind people on the planet. The idea that they are trying to destroy anything is laughable.

But my comment which merely highlights the absurdity of the previous comment is immediately flagged.

Does this really not seem strange?

It's flagged and dead, unlike your comment, which is merely flagged. You're replying to a comment dang wrote after https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17808124 What else would you like to happen?
