Well, it is undisputed that the CPC censors all mentions of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre. Both public and private - the US may lie, but private free speech is still allowed. So can we please stop pretending that China in its current form is not doing evil?
The local CPC deputies have broken into my house multiple times for mentioning it when talking politics with friends (sarcasm). You people are so unserious
Alliance vice-chairperson Chow Hang-tung and 25 activists were prosecuted in 2020 simply because they insisted on lighting candles in Victoria Park despite the government prohibiting the vigil that year, ostensibly on Covid-19 grounds. In 2021, after the police banned the vigil once again, Chow was arrested on 4 June after encouraging people on social media to commemorate the crackdown by lighting candles.
Ultimately, Chow was jailed for 22 months for taking part and inciting others to take part in an unauthorised assembly. She and fellow Hong Kong Alliance leaders Lee Cheuk Yan and Albert Ho have also been charged with “inciting subversion” under the National Security Law and all three face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
all three face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment
For seperate charges related to being an owned arm of the western regime change machine.
WTF? I am not British.
My bad I saw the feddit and weird obsession with HK separatists being allowed push for a return to British colonisation and just assumed.
It is a private person saying a thing
Making public statements, pushing for a public gathering in a public place. Maybe your and my idea of what private means is different. Is it private if a pervert flashes people in public just because they’re a “private person”?
Maybe your and my idea of what private means is different.
In this case, I mean that they are not the state. The state itself censors all mentions in their own communications. And the state also censors mentions by people who are not the state, i.e. private persons.
Amnesty always manufactures consent for shit, but assuming this is true, why would any government be okay with people commemorating an attempt to overthrow them? You’re so unserious
So if China is so nice, what is the identity of the “Tank Man”? Why can’t we find him? It is like he “disappeared”.

Because that is free private speech. That is what free speech means.
