about free speech;
I, personally, support free speech at all costs. but since it is a "playdooh" anymore, it is open for abusing. one should think the consequences of her/his words and speak later. as a famous saying "think twice, say once".but all of this stuff has nothing to do when we talk about Tibet, Xinjiang or Taiwan. (I mentioned these because the subject is China,yet the familiar problems are almost everywhere). I can ignore media,media often lies,this is the truth; but what about videos, documents and 1st hand experiences,stories? I do not think they all conspire upon CCP.


I completely agree. on the other hand, the opposite of your free speech worries is "oppression". It may be arguable, but in my opinion: the right way is the middle path (nothing should be exaggrated).anyway, the free speech is rarely being applied,even in democracies. WAB isnot a democracy but again you can speak freely.


I am not hostile Cina and its ppl but what they have done to Tibet and Xinjiang. that is how I am against PKK,AQ, Iraqi war, Hezbollah terrorists,Israel terrorism,Armenian-Turkish incidents and so on.
