Come on. People retweet political things without really thinking about it all the time. I travel to "foreign land" ask the time and don't have anything to fear for my expressions of political opinion because most Western countries protect freedom of expression. As someone who believes in democracy and classic liberalism, I think it is too much to expect.

Saying "it's China, it's a different culture" doesn't make oppression better.

"Come on, people chew gum all the time... saying it's Singapore doesn't make the oppression better"

"Come on, people smoke weed all the time... saying it's Arkansas doesn't make the oppression better"

"Come on, people walk around naked on beaches all the time... saying it's Saudi Arabia doesn't make the oppression better"

Different places, different cultures, different rules. On the plus side, there's no place like home, wherever that is.
