You don't think China has protestors? They protest on a scale not seen in the US, with 2010 having 180,000 "mass incidents".

They aren't allowed, is the point. You can be disappeared for speaking against Xi. Any comparison is a false one.

OP's point is that protests happen in rural areas outside the central government's control. They are very much not allowed and usually crushed when found.

> They absolutely are allowed.

So you and I can go to tiananmen square tomorrow for a healthy protest and drum circle?
