Amazon not showing honest reviews if the could hurt Chinese sales

[BasicHumanUnit]

On Amazon, I've reviewed some items that definitely did not work as advertised.
I made sure the reviews contained no banned words or contained potential policy violations by using very standard words careful to watch for combined words that might be interpreted as something not allowed.

Still, often these reviews fail to ever post in the system.
It makes me wonder how far Amazon goes to protect it's Chinese suppliers.

I've learned to go first to the negative reviews since those are most likely to be real and not biased (compensated or protected). Then if the negative post seems rational and makes sense then I consider it in my decision to buy or not to buy.

Have you posted item reviews on Amazon that do not show up?

What? I have left reviews on hundreds of items for 20 years on amazon and not one ever did not posted, even recently.
maybe your language is still too critical?
amazon is huge, do you think they have somebody looking at all of this and saying yes or no?

product good, product sucks......not everything is from china, mostly but not all

Welp, looks like you're the only one. (in 20 years!)

My Amazon review never got posted

It ain't Amazon's fault.
