And given this happening 7:00 San Jose time, I doubt any of mods would be logging into their mod account first thing in the morning to manually flag it.
Still telling. Tech industry has a lot of communists.
Edit: why is this being downvoted? You've never seen dang turn off flags? He admits it here:

So that raises the question: why not turn off flags on this story?
I really don't know what is the best solution, and what we as a western community can do to make changes. It seems to me that China won't change until it changes itself from the inside, if it will ever even happen..
He wrote report on Tibetan forced labour too. Quite an interesting source of news by Reuters
The article is over 3 months old and posted now for some reason.
"And so the idea... I'm not going to speak out against what he's doing in Hong Kong, what he's doing with the Uyghurs in western mountains of China, and Taiwan, trying to end the One China policy by making it forceful, I said — by the way, he said he gets it. Culturally, there are different norms that each country and their leaders are expected to follow." - Supposedly the leader of the free world
Unless they are both at it.
You are suppossed to always have a job whether you like it or not. The Xjinjiang thing brings this to a new level but I'm not entirely surprised.
When were the dissidents treated fairly in communist systems?
I wont question the validity of the article because I may be called a CCP shill ;)
Completely unrelated is US and India are the other largest cotton producers, one of which as record of forced child labour for ~10 years.
For example, it’s authored by Adrian Zenz, a religious zealot who feels “led by God” to research Chinese minority groups. If you dig into his research and his credentials, it’s all pretty flimsy.
But, it fits the narrative the US would like to have about China, so everyone eats it up uncritically.
2. Center for Global Policy rebranded Newlines (funded by a private university with only 120 students that has thinktank and publishing arm), aka another front used to launder Zenz studies.
3. Basically rehash of Zenz Jamestown hit piece, the 500K was based off CCP press releases of rural transfer programs. Literally misconstruing official CCP media bragging about poverty alleviation into coerced labour which internet then misconstrues as unpaid slave labour. Actual piece itself doesn't have any credible evidence of forced labour other than Zenz thinks there's coersion because some folks got paid less than they were promised.
4. Same report / propaganda drive that started the XPCC sanctions in the first place, culminating to recent H&M drama.
Can you point to one such instance? Because personally I think the articles Zenz writes are much more reasonable than articles other people write with reference to Zenz. Specifically, he thoroughly annotatates factual statements with links to sources (often official data provided by the Chinese government), and when he presents his own interpretation, it is clear that it's just his opinion. I happen to often disagree with his opinions, but never with the facts he's basing them on.
