I've been held in a Chinese detention center for 6 days before, when was the last time you were locked away without access to due process just for expressing an opinion?

I lived in China for several years, and I will never go back. I made a choice to move there to advance my career thinking I could tolerate living in a totalitarian state, and now that I have experienced it I will forever oppose it.

Are you actually trying to claim that China is a free country with freedom of speech?

There is a big difference between saying you are a free country and actually being one. In totalitarian regimes the government is not bound to the constitution, that is why they are called totalitarian.

If you truly believe that China is free, which I doubt, I highly encourage you to educate yourself on the half century of fear and murder that they have systematically used to oppress all dissension.

It is not my responsibility to educate you, but you are arguing against history. History may be malleable in China, but outside of the Great Wall we know what they have done and it is my dream that one day China is held accountable for the atrocities it has committed in the name of "peace and prosperity".

Being off on semantics isn't really the same as lying, in much the same way as nit-picking isn't widely considered a virtue.
