    What do you know about the government of the PRC? Have you read about whole process people’s democracy? I’m sure you’ve investigated it thouroghly since you’re making definitive statements about it. Could you please be specific about why you don’t view the system in China as a democracy.

      No real freedom of speech.

      I could throw this same bad argument back at you about the United States.

        Freedom of speech isn’t a real thing lmao.

        The US kidnaps people and imprisons them in cruel conditions if they have soccer tattoos.

        The FBI sent letters to MLK Jr. telling him to end his own life.

        The US stole indigenous land by writing deals they would break.

        China did what? Give free education? Crush a cult (Falun Gong) lift 800 million people out of poverty as defined by the World Bank

        Freedom of speech does not exist anywhere and is an idealist myth constructed for the purpose of western imperialist chauvinism. This is why it is easy for people here to clock your liberalism.

            No i haven’t. I’ve read about China and listened to people living in China.

            What can’t you say in China that leads you to say there’s no free speech?

            It’s pretty frustrating when people expect you to explicitly state your grievances against an entity that our government has taught you to fear and hate in general huh

          Alright I’m blocking hexbear. Y’all can’t make a solid argument to save your lives.

          That’s not freedom of speech. Nither is CP.
