- mikeyouse 9y agoBecause Sam brought it up in the first paragraph of his essay? > Earlier this year, I noticed something in China that really surprised me. I realized I felt more comfortable discussing controversial ideas in Beijing than in San Francisco. It's entirely relevant that stating the wrong 'controversial ideas' in Beijing can get you killed or imprisoned.
- mr_spothawk 9y agohe's talking about speaking directly with Chinese individuals in China. the original post is about discussing these topics in person-to-person situations... not about posting politically motivated speech online, not about challenging the government.
