How do you armchair Chinese experts know this guy isn't the Chinese version of Donald Trump who is being silenced before he does more damage. To me it just feels like the technocrat class of China that is a big part of the govt does what the technocrat class in the US is incapable off.
Everyone is a hypocrite here. Not just FB.
- specialp 9y agoWell the American version of Donald Trump is not silenced as silencing people is not the American way. In short it doesn't matter who he is or what he does, we don't like big internet companies silencing people to appease censoring governments.
- coldtea 9y ago>as silencing people is not the American way. Except when it matters -- e.g. if they're whistleblowers, activists, people like Manning, Gary Webb, or heck, MLK, and so on -- all the way to McCarthy-ism and Hoover.
- eradicatethots 9y agoYou’re saying this like there is consensus that the President should’ve been silenced and disallowed from running... seems pretty ridiculous
- Canada 9y agoI learned of this man recently from several different Chinese people in China. All are quite interested in listening to what he has to say. Personally I have no idea how much, if any, of what he says is true, but even if he's lying that's not an acceptable reason to silence him. It is also quite a coincidence that efforts to block him have increased right before the big show in Beijing this month.
