My comment is not to minimize the oppression. It is rather to point out that other countries, engaging in similar oppression and dehumanization have managed their PR in such a way that they don't need to twist the arm of a company like Google to ensure their preferred vocabulary is used. It is the status quo. China is doing the work now of integrating itself with the "free" media to ensure a certain image. A country like the US did so decades ago.
