I mean in China it is illegal to criticize the federal government. There are no newspapers, no organizations, nothing that ever says anything Xi or the Party does is bad. In China, for the past several decades, you would get 30 years or worse for handing out pamphlets.
But yes, it is quite concerning that America is headed in the same direction.
Chinese authorities intensified control over information and public discourse, and continued to suppress dissent and peaceful assembly. Participants in religious activities were persecuted through surveillance, raids and security laws. Human rights defenders, writers, artists and other civil society actors continued to be detained and prosecuted under vague national security provisions; censorship and online surveillance of these groups persisted. Authorities suppressed activism aimed at achieving gender equality and imposed restrictions on freedom of expression by women and LGBTI people, particularly in digital spaces. China continued to use the death penalty. Renewable energy capacity increased significantly, but fossil fuel consumption also continued to rise. Ethnic groups including Uyghurs and Tibetans remained under strict political and cultural control. In the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions, national legislation further eroded human rights.
Maybe it’s getting lost in translation? The word “prosecuted” includes things like “30 years in prison”. Although personally I’m more concerned about the death penalty.
Are you seriously doubting the human rights violations of China? Because if you are, then first you need to tell me exactly what source you’d believe, and wouldn’t just immediately try to discredit or blame on western propaganda or whatever.
Show me something that proves you would get worse than 30 years in prison for handing out a pamphlet that criticizes the federal goverent of China, that’s not western propaganda.
Yes, western propaganda is wrong, and wants you to believe there is no genocide in Gaza, and China is bad.
Is this the country that bans anyone saying anything negative about the federal government?
America?
They’re not quite at China’s levels yet but Trump is doing his best to get there.
What do you mean China “bans” anyone who talks negatively about the federal gov’t?
America just gave someone 30 years for handing out pamphlets.
Are you confused?

Source your statement.

Literally none of that is 30 years in prison, lmao. Did you read your own copy paste?

Here, there’s a few hundred sources in the most recent Amnesty International report, good luck discrediting them all:

And none of them are worse than 30 years in prison for a pamphlet. Weird.
You don’t think death is worse than 30 years in prison?
Which one? I made a lot of statements.

Anything from the United Nations will do.
China is bad. It’s not just western propaganda.
Here’s the UN:

Now try printing any of those reports in China. You’ll be arrested. They literally have a charge called “subversion of state power”.
