I don't get this 'meme'. Are they suggesting, that communist countries had more freedom of speech than western contries currently have?
You realize the common sense ‘meat’ of this ‘gotcha’ is just racism, right? I mean Like, If you approach America from any perspective other than a well off Democratic enclave, or approach China as anything other than an importer..
But yes, precisely. Seriously talking about the ways China is better than the US and how we can learn from them. What a perfect example of how “the right to freedom of speech” in the United States is a rhetorical position not an actual argument.
China has established illegal police operations in foreign countries to target, harass and return to the CCP dissenters and their opposition. The CCP is no example of free speech and human rights.
