I'm not sure the legal structure in China or the U.S. has caught up with your position on this. You can be certain the U.S. Secret Service chases down perceived threats from online and offline comments fairly regularly.
This is the problem: Too much change, too fast. Much of what we say online today was prohibited to do so on the only available broadcast mechanisms in the U.S. as recently as mid-1970s. Even once the laws and regulators started to relax it took some time as the contents providers pushed boundaries. Its only been in the last 20 years that people could "broadcast themselves".
China wrote its first laws to cover internet content less than 10 years ago. This is very new territory.
