you most certainly lose your professorship in the US for tweeting mild stuff: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/01/11/us/B...

also, renowned foreign professors in the US are sometimes bullied and treated as badly as they are in China:

Chinese government is of course far more authoritarian but it is wise to point out that things have been worsening in US academia over the last couple of years.

My rebuttal would be that in the US there is a strong cultural reaction against such "political correctness", while CCP seems to be doubling down on the necessity of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics with Xi Jinping as the nation's steward.
