> the complaints came "from China"

And that's the whole point of this piece of misinformation. "Came from China" doesn't mean that the country of China was involved, but that people in China involved didn't want this or that. It could similarly be a problem with news that "came from Switzerland", or that "came from USA", but of course the media wants to play the game of China (the country) as a bad actor.

It's not the people of China, who should be free to criticize their government and talk about any topic. It's the CCP that stops them and others worldwide.

The CCP only has this power because citizenry world wide keeps electing governments who's stance is "business relations with China at any cost!"

And this is the entirely predictable result.

Trump campaigned on doing the opposite, didn't make much of a difference though.
