> "If you protest against CCP abroad, they will find people you love to make you pay. Even if you are in Australia," a student not identified in the report told Human Rights Watch, referring to the Chinese Communist Party. Fear is a great driver. Not only most people will like to avoid the problem, but it can easily isolate anyone that wants to talk about it. If you are trying to improve your live by attending university, to avoid "problematic" people is also part of that. Even worse it to retaliate against loved ones. Let's suppose that someone agrees with China that criticizing the CCP is a crime. What crime have the loved ones committed? Retaliation against completely innocent people just because someone else has committed a crime is terribly unjust, it has nothing to do with justice and only is about power. So, even if you agree with the censorship, the actions of the Chinese government are still inhuman and cruel. Chinese society has advanced a lot past decades, it has been a great accomplishment to become a technologically developed country. But, the new challenges that a modern society presents need public opinion and collaboration to be overcome. Censorship only brings stagnation and the risk of increased corruption. Corruption will kill any future for China if people cannot speak up.
