If your family's in China, it's trivially easy for the Chinese government to arrest them and mail you one finger a week until you comply. If your family's in the US, they'd have to send a murder squad. Couldn't US

We're getting onto our own slippery territory here. If I let someone into my living room, and that person makes political statements I don't like, I'm free to ask them to leave and not come back, or tell other people in my li
