I am seeing this all the time. America is doing this too, why just blame China.
Yes, governments around the world have one thing in common, they are full of ASSHOLES. Actually, in general people are assholes. Bad things tend to happen.
You can have CNN and Fox broadcast different views somethings extreme, and many other media outlets expressing views somewhere between them. Try that in China, you would think twice if you are not even trying to PRAISE the government.
You cannot compare a demacracy to a authoritarian/dictatorship. They certainly always have something in common, the difference is level of oppression. The authoritarian are always on the extreme side, that's why they are called authoritarians.
Comparing demaracies to authoritarian is giving execuses to keep the oppressions going.
It's nice and necessary that you can criticize your government even in public. Don't give dictators execuses when your government pisses you off.
