I was speaking more generally. WeChat is monitored and things get said there, the gulags aren't full. There was a lot of outrage over that doctor that died after blowing the whistle about C19, for example.

HK was more of a hot situation, you had protestors waving UK flags and talking about independence. I'm not justifying anything, but that's exactly the 'credible threat' vs 'talking shit' distinction I was talking anout.

In the cases you're referencing, are they still locked up? I'll check out a link if you've got one.

>>> Han Chinese don't go to prison just for criticizing the government, they just lose opportunities.

>> This is verifiably false.

> I was speaking more generally

That response is meaningless (the classic 'nebulous response' to an inconvenient question) and thus sidesteps addressing his point. Also please elaborate on what 'losing opportunities' means - I hope it doesn't extend to eg. the right to eat food does it?

> In the cases you're referencing, are they still locked up?

It's irrelevant if they are still locked up or released, they got locked up for political reasons. Right?
