They're not quite at China's levels yet but Trump is doing his best to get there.
What do you mean China "bans" anyone who talks negatively about the federal gov't?
America just gave someone 30 years for handing out pamphlets.
Are you confused?
I mean in China it is illegal to criticize the federal government. There are no newspapers, no organizations, nothing that ever says anything Xi or the Party does is bad. In China, for the past several decades, you would get 30 years or worse for handing out pamphlets.
But yes, it is quite concerning that America is headed in the same direction.
Source your statement.

Literally none of that is 30 years in prison, lmao. Did you read your own copy paste?
Maybe it's getting lost in translation? The word "prosecuted" includes things like "30 years in prison". Although personally I'm more concerned about the death penalty.
Here, there's a few hundred sources in the most recent Amnesty International report, good luck discrediting them all:

And none of them are worse than 30 years in prison for a pamphlet. Weird.
You don't think death is worse than 30 years in prison?
Lmfao
I'm sorry you think fascism is hilarious, I don't.
You think China is fascist!? Lmmfao
Which one? I made a lot of statements.
Are you seriously doubting the human rights violations of China? Because if you are, then first you need to tell me exactly what source you'd believe, and wouldn't just immediately try to discredit or blame on western propaganda or whatever.
Show me something that proves you would get worse than 30 years in prison for handing out a pamphlet that criticizes the federal goverent of China, that's not western propaganda.
Yes, western propaganda is wrong, and wants you to believe there is no genocide in Gaza, and China is bad.
Anything from the United Nations will do.
China is bad. It's not just western propaganda.
Here's the UN:

Now try printing any of those reports in China. You'll be arrested. They literally have a charge called "subversion of state power".
Will you be arrested and imprisoned for 30 years? Fuck off dude, you're talking about a bullshit fine lol.
Google "Ding Jiaxi", and then go fuck yourself.
Looks like he was trying to overthrow the Chinese government and only got 12 years for it. I guess if you're used to the j6ers being released from jail, given cushy paramilitary jobs, and rewarded monetarily, 12 years can seem harsh!
Oh, but maybe because you're living in the kind of country that ACTUALLY suppresses free information, not just "kinda" like America is doing right now, maybe that's why you never heard of these people being arrested and thrown into Chinese prisons, labour camps, sentenced to death, disappeared, people like Ding Jiaxi, because it's ILLEGAL TO REPORT ON IT YOU FUCKING MORON.
WAKE UP AND OPEN YOUR EYES.
