Discussing a topic controversially is just that, a discussion.

When the Chinese government "attacks" somebody, that person disappears and often dies.

Just wanting to remind people of the difference.

That is a big difference thank you. We should also be aware that any action by the Government or President or Faux News to silence or ridicule the whistle-blower(s) takes us a step into the direction of China

There has been no recent US president who didn't try to silence whistle blowers.

Therefore: no, it doesn't. It's something people in power will always attempt. That's why "checks and balances" are so important (and I don't know any country where they are so well implemented as in the US).
