Here is how being wealthy works in US: https://edition.cnn.com/2014/04/02/justice/delaware-du-pont-rape-case/index.html https://edition.cnn.com/2014/04/02/justice/delaware-du-pont-... There is a difference though: in China this is changing. As for the Winnie the Pooh urban legend: I guess you never asked yourself how is it possible that Shanghai Disneyland still features Winnie :-)

No, the difference is that in America, the news media report on these things which are horrible and embarrassing to our country, so that the people can know and fight to improve things. In China, everything embarrassing to the CCP is instantly censored to present a sanitized reality where all behavior displeasing to the CCP does not exist. Just like how most Russians think Russia is liberating Ukraine in a "special military operation" and the indiscriminately massacring of civilians is airbrushed away. Only criminals censor the media.

  >No, the difference is that in America, the news media report on these things which are horrible and embarrassing to our country And nothing changes. Convinced child rapist was let free because he was wealthy and “wouldn’t feel good in prison”. Do you think this was followed by some reform to make sure it doesn’t happen again? >In China, everything embarrassing to the CCP is instantly censored This is obviously false. Talk to someone from China perhaps, or take a look at their media? >Only criminals censor the media. Have you ever heard about gag orders?
