Chinese too, and openly in the US currently not so much. People in China are heavy controlled by the Gov, but they have more civil rights and services as citizen in the US
Complete list of banned books in the US. (Autoscroll enabled, due to the hugh amount of those, stop/start with mouseclick)

US Freedom and Human rights only exist in Fox News.
Lmao what? Do you know what "banning" a book means? It's just not on offer in schools or a library for that specific state. It's completely normal to just buy it for yourself and there are even organizations dedicated to distributing banned books.
It's hilarious to try and dunk on America with this of all things. Media restricted/censored in China is entirely unavailable. It's actually very interesting how the censorship manifests in daily life, but I imagine any .ml reader will discard those anecdotes (or any verifiable reports) and try to redirect back to the West somehow.
You guys are completely brainwashed if you believe this. They can't even form a union or strike.
It always amazes me how gringos can just say the dumbest, fakest shit with such confidence then call you brainwashed.
If the State Department said Chinese people can't play guitar you'd call us brainwashed if we showed you a video of one of them playing.
Crazy how you can literally just look this stuff up and find out what's true instead of discarding arguments.
Independent trade unions are illegal in China. The single, state sanctioned trade union is widely criticized by international trade union orgs for not faithfully representing its workers. By most accounts it exists to funnel labor disputes through a bureaucratic meat grinder of mediation to maintain the status quo. With the exception of a handful of actions for international leverage, all strikes are wildcat.
If you're actually interested in labor relations in China I'd recommend this article for starters. It's older but the situation hasn't improved under recent leadership.
