I’ve been paying attention to the incident you speak of since it’s so interesting to see how an authoritarian system deals with it.

I was quite amazed when the father of the teenager made a statement about “maintaining harmony”. It’s right out of the stories you’d hear about life in the USSR.

Self censorship is the term I believe. As an Asian I definitely do have this part of my brain that tells me to handle everything in a pragmatic, locally optimal way, even when it's unjust.
