It's newsworthy for Yahoo, Vice, The Guardian, MSN, Business Insider, but I guess it doesn't meet the rigorous journalistic standards of...a news or politics subreddit...
...
worldnews mods permanently banned me for posting this story
This is probably coming down from the admins then.
This has got to be coming from the reddit admins. And my guess is that there's something above them calling the shots too.
I'll also just leave this completely unrelated link here .
Well here's the thing, they did . The initial post had 26,000+ upvotes and tonnes of comments, people were incensed by the story and totally outraged.
Then it got removed. And then posted again, and removed again.
The mods are giving clearly bullshit reasons, so this has got to be coming from above.
I can't see the Reddit admins really giving a shit about it, in fact they're probably happy to use it as anti-Trump fodder. So given how much anti-China propaganda that has been on Reddit fucking constantly over the last while, I can't help but think that Reddit is being used to manufacture consent from above. How high it goes is anybody's guess.

imagine thinking anything on reddit is biased towards china
Even r/China wants the US to invade China lmao
It's on the top page of /r/news/ and rising currently so idk if I'd blame the admins on this one.
yeah you're right. is /r/news a default sub?
There are no defaults anymore, but this shit was absolutely getting suppressed in politics (although a story about it is currently the top post there) there’s a post on antifascistsofreddit with a user’s discussion with the mods in there.
The compare the forced sterilization of an ethnic minority to Obama wearing a tan suit. Not kidding.
No
There are no default subs. Haven't been for a long time now.
