Looks to me like you've never been active on Weibo or spent much time in China. You'd have to be an idiot to publish media critical of the state at any scale.

No I haven't, but if you have the data to show otherwise, then by all means write it up.

[xiaoma]

Do you seriously expect the PRC to publish pristine data on on arrests or executions related to anti-state speech or activities?

[shaobo]

No, but there is also a wide spectrum of opinion/speech available in China between anti-state and pro-state.

The point I am trying to make is that people think China is a smidgen way from North Korea, when the actual difference is night and day.
