Hmm... I'm unable to access and read this article. Medium displays a 410 error and an ominous message: "This account is under investigation or was found in violation of the Medium Rules." Given the subject matter, I'm starting to get a little suspicious about why this article was taken down.

I just noticed that as well. You can still read the article by doing a google search and looking at the cached version.

Update: Medium has restored the article. The Chinese troll army failed to suppress the news for long.
Please see a screenshot of the full article here:

It looks like this company is trying very hard to suppress this news. A media blackout might work in China, but not in America.
I am in contact with Medium to get the article restored. If anyone has a Medium contact, any help would be appreciated.
