Why is western media so concerned about China when their own government ramped up their control over their own people ? And hackernews mostly westerners going ga ga over this. You should be concerned about what’s happening at your home than what’s happening in some other country. Stop policing the world.

There is a proverb, fix the dust in your eye before trying to fix the dirt in someone else’s.

Is our freedom of speech being censored online here? It's a good start that we can talk about this very subject.

Thats the only freedom you people have right now. It will be gone soon with the way your country is heading. Making it mandatory to reveal social media accounts for starters.

A country like China can protect its citizens from external propogandas. This propagandists include countries which are envious of the growth that China has achieved.

Brainwashing is where all evil begins. If you do not have the ability to think for yourself, and seek the opinions of others, you have nothing.

> when their own government ramped up their control over their own people

My solidarity with those resisting oppression is thicker than blood, while my loyalty to those who do not is more of an outer space kind of density. It's all the justification I need to speak freely about anything I see.

As for "proverbs", while we're picking cherries:

> Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
