> similar to other protests in USA where you usually notify local governments about the land you are on and have to ask for approval in some manner. If protests are approved, then they can be held which is what happens in China EDIT: Yeah, my apologies, you're probably not a bot, I'm being paranoid. That said, your argument might as well come from one if you're trying to suggest that the way China handles protests is approximately equivalent to the US. PRIOR: You're a China bot. Anonymous, newish account, comment history is a mix of tech industry opinion (as cover) mixed with "America is just like China" soft-propaganda on topics like Tibet and public protest. And China doesn't approve protest requests. But you know this.

That's a bit harsh. Do not attribute to malice what can be explained by naivety or stupidity.

I didn't downvote you because thats your opinion, other people downvoted u. As well, I'm pretty sure I'm not a bot, maybe you can give me a recaptcha test to test me and I never said protests are treated the same in USA. Does the USA censor their protests on the media? Please answer me there as I put that on my post and learn to read. I'm angry because this is stupid. Also I hate the Chinese Communist Party and don't want China under a communist one-party dictatorship. I have not said anything about Tibet, that was you. If I was a Chinese bot I would have just lost my job. They also approve of protests requests that forward their political agenda: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_China_anti-Japanese_demonstrations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_China_anti-Japanese_demon... See above, this was broadcasted on the Chinese interwebs and on Chinese State news where I saw it, if it wasn't allowed, it would have been stopped and cracked down on. EDIT: Note that a BBC News article about it says that "The BBC's Martin Patience in Beijing says the outbreak of protests was almost certainly sanctioned by the Chinese authorities, as they were well policed." http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-19312226 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-19312226 If there is police allowed around a protest in China, it usually is legal Another edit: Dont pretend you know more about China than I do, i am prepared to protest the Chinese govt on Chinese streets and light myself on fire for Chinese democracy, until you can do the same you have no skin in the game.
