> Europe has done the same with Russia.

Yes. Which I find abhorrent as an European, and has made me realize even more than our countries are much less democratic than we officially paint them as.

Nono, it's only undemocratic when china does it.

Exactly. "Foo" is democratic when democratic or non-democratic country does it in a democratic way.
