China is not what many people make it our to be. Comparing to just a couple of decase ago, it now has a huge educated middle class.
I don't think China is a free country, but if you dig a little, you'll see that many people openly speak up and protest. Big labor protests that don't make it into western media are quite regular.

Do reporters get ruined for body language implying they might disapprove of what a single congressman says (but it might be a held-in sneeze too) ? No. Imperfect democracy IS NOT THE SAME as a dictatorship. BTW: let's hope being ruined for life is all that happened to this woman. She wouldn't be the first one to be brutally murdered.
