Jeez they even tried to get a song removed from Apple Music? I wonder how much other stuff China was able to suppress without anyone noticing.



When people believe that suppressing speech is the correct course of action, there's really no telling where it ends.


If they are worried about a song, it makes them look very weak indeed.


Please allow me to direct your attention to this small event in Chinese history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Revolution

If looking weak to Westerners was ever on CCP's priority list, it couldn't have been anywhere high.


a movie started a democratic movement that ended in Tiananmen massacre so yeah.


What movie is that?


I feel weird about all the China outrage currently. Some of it feels very hypocritical. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politic...

Not sure if shill or just really disconnected? Trump saying outrageous stuff with little to no actual consequence is a FAR cry from the dictatorship of China.


Rightly so but this thread is about China. What you’re doing is whataboutism.
