I received insults

Someone even posted photos of dead bodies

These comments weren’t reviewed, but I was permanently blocked because my political stance is to hope for the reunification of my country. They said I have nothing to offer, just spreading propaganda and negativity.

        Perception doesn’t mean anything. It depends on what the population defines as democracy, which can differ between countries due to what they’re used to and their propaganda. China does rank horribly in the democracy index.

          “Perception doesn’t mean anything! Except for the perception of western neo-liberals who hate China. Obviously the people of China can’t be trusted to know their own feelings: they’re too propagandized. Instead we should trust The Economist, a nice neo-liberal and western source (which means it’s unbiased and true).”

        Can you show me an example of a pro-USA/NATO/Taiwan activist or commentators or journalist who operates openly from Beijing please?

        How are LGBT rights in China too?

            Pinkwashing what? I’m making the point that these are valid aspects to measure how free the people of a country are. In the USA and many western countries, there are journalists, activists, commentators etc who are openly pro-Beijing in their rhetoric. Are there equivalents in China who would be pro-NATO/Taiwan/USA?

            Why are LGBT rights suddenly just something to ignore when it comes to this when China is bought up?

              Like I said, pink washers are the lowest form of scum. You’ll be talking about Hamas “throwing gays off buildings” next.

                I’m assuming you don’t pretend that a society that Hamas governs would be a free society. Right?

                My question remains unanswered: In the USA and many western countries, there are journalists, activists, commentators etc who are openly pro-Beijing in their rhetoric. Are there equivalents in China who would be pro-NATO/Taiwan/USA?

                    I said absolutely nothing about the conflict there. Israel can be barborous in whole and it would have nothing to do with how civil society would look if Hamas governed them. The USA and Israel were utterly wrong to bomb Iran, but that doesn’t magically make Iran a free society.
