My mother in law is already paranoid, warning us not to talk about certain topics with her. Scary stuff.

I should point out that my MIL is a completely apolitical person who worked in the Chinese government for her entire career, spending most of that time just helping poor people, without a shred of corruption. She has nothing to worry about, doesn't care about politics, and even she's paranoid about this.

Do you know what should be more paranoid? No body in China are publicly paranoid about it, at least I didn't notice anyone does on domestic websites.

On websites which out of censorship though, is another story, of course.
