I love free speech. I love individual liberty. I respect the sovereignty of nations. I believe societies are feee to choose. Should we impose our value system on the Chinese? No. We should try to relate and understand why the Chinese people have taken their route.
If and when we find our value systems at odds with those of other people we cannot conclude that ours is superior and undermine their freedom to choose. That’s just arrogant and — most importantly — unbecoming when you describe yourself as an advocate for freedom.

The people were mowed down in the thousands during a peaceful protest in Tienamen Square. > undermine their freedom to choose They never had the freedom to choose in the first place.
