Call it what you like, but the reality is that the USA is so much more free at every level of society than China under the CCP, and that's even ignoring the horrors of Xinjiang and Tibet.
Even in this much-derided "Clean Network" document there is not a word about the sort of content-based censorship that is ubiquitous in China.
- csb6 6y agoI said nothing about China in my comment. All I said is that it is disingenuous and incorrect to call the U.S. a “liberal democracy” and use that to explain away the reasons that our surveillance state is “better” than theirs. I made no judgment about the comparison itself. Clinging to the judgment that we are the least worst, or “clothespin”, surveillance state, seems pretty grim to me.
