> china isn't a democracy because they have censorship You got that wrong. The reason China is not a democracy, is instead that it is a dictatorship, that's why it's not a democracy. Democracies can have censorship, there's no contradiction. (Although less common.) For example, IMO it's good to censor some of Putin's manipulation, because most people are dangerously easy to fool. It's a mistake to let an enemy state broadcast their psychological warfare unhindered.
