I have no idea what it is like generally, but this video[1] (which I admittedly cannot confirm the authenticity of) depicts a man who has been arrested for comments he made on social media. He is chained to the table and his arms are restricted as he tries to apologize for comments he made about the police to a WeChat group with 75 people in it.

- catillac 5y agoThis happens quite a lot, the answer is yes. One of the travesties of the American system though is that it’s often these videos that cause justice to be done when it would not be done otherwise.
- Permit 5y agoIf someone in this thread claims otherwise, you should post those videos. I was responding to this point: > i wonder how people here inte west think of china. do you really think that GESTAPO will come and beat the shit out of you just because you were talking shit? My point is that it does appear that the police in China will come and arrest you if you speak negatively about them. My point is not "The American system is better than the Chinese system". We should speak candidly and truthfully about the failings of each system. Does that make sense? Edit: I just now realize you were the original poster. You made a comparison between Germany and China and when an inconsistency was pointed out to you, you responded by pointing out faults in the American justice system. It would likely do you good to reflect on this. When flaws with China are pointed out, why would you jump to point out wrongdoings in America? It had as much relevance as pointing out police brutality in Brazil or some other unrelated country. You should try to better understand why you have reacted this way.
