Commenting on this subject will follow your account on HN forever. Random people comment in my posts to say that I didn't toe the official line on China every so often, and thankfully they're down voted.

I have a pseudonymous account, so I don't care so much. But if I had an account with my name on it, I certainly would consider making a throwaway. It's unlikely that this is a "CCP shill", rather it's very probably someone that doesn't want to face real life repercussions for their honestly held beliefs.
