Unlike wetreners, Chinese do have real human rights, like right to housing, education, food, and healthcare.
Have you seen Europe? And how about freedom of expression?
lol yeah I have https://peoplesdispatch.org/2024/10/18/pro-palestine-journalist-asa-winstanleys-home-raided-by-british-counterterror-police/
So people like you can have the illusion of freedom. Speech that cannot be translated into tangible action is not freedom. The people in the west have the freedom to scream into the void, but not the freedom to change their conditions. Anybody who can't tell the difference between the two is so very lost.
Literally yes read Chinese papers. Comradely criticism is like Marxism 101

Your two sources are a NED funded paper and the New York crimes
Okay now use your words and brain to explain what you just quoted and why it's a problem
Taking the quote completely at face value:
So it's now censorship of freedom of expression if the state is not actively sponsoring, advertising, and distributing criticism of itself? I should try writing to NPR about how we need a proletarian party controlling the government so I can say that they've "censored" me when they obviously don't invite me on to talk about it.
Yes I do, and the fact that Chinese system has shown itself to be flexible and adaptable is proof of that. A system can only evolve effectively when it can be criticized in a way that lead to action. That's how change happens. Western systems are the ones where effective free expression is forbidden, and that's why they've ossified and the ruling class no longer even pretends to care about public opinion.
you're having it so good. here in the periphery of the capitalism we are just putsched whenever a marginally leftist party gets elected, with active help from the department of state.
European journalists are getting raided and arrested for covering the genocide in Gaza.
