You may have missed the nuance between wanting to live in a state like China, and not boycotting all business with people from China. In fact, people in China will likely reach the boiling point sooner if their economic "advantage" of lower salaries and cheaper production are brought to a level of their Western counterparts faster (which means, doing business with Chinese people). Boycotting will do nothing to help them. Accepting them and letting them experience the benefits of a freer society will introduce more dissenting voices. As for what world we live in, it's pretty much like that even in modern democracies (other than disappearing people, but they usually end up self-censoring or committing suicide themselves when the pressure from media is too high).
