You’re right, of course. I suspect that most of the anti-China folks here haven’t been there or haven’t been there recently. People do speak out, not “against the government,” but against government policies. This seems to be tolerated as long as you don’t touch one of the “third rails” — e.g., Taiwan independence, overthrowing the party, etc.
As long as we’re being provocative, I’ll go a couple steps further:
1. There is more freedom in China today than there was in the American south up to the civil rights movement.
2. China moves toward more freedom for its people while nations like England and Canada often seem to be moving in the opposite direction.
3. If Ayn Rand woke up today in Shanghai or Beijing and took a walk around, she’d ask in amazement, “When were the Communists defeated?”
If it is doing well, then there is something good about being fascist; like Kalifornia. LOL.
So, the political prisoners who were in their predicament due to speaking out against govt. policies have been released? The Chinese people are now free to become Christians?
America changed with the Civil Rights act of 1964. No such change has occured in China. Now why don't you compare China today with the USA today, or Germany today, or the UK today or any other free and democratic society of today?
You can't because there is no comparison........China is still a communist, totalitarian country that now relies on foreign trade to sustain it.............
Nub to nub, self to self?
Do you think you invented that scam?
