It must be pointed out that banning BBC World News has nothing to do with freedom of the press. Does the so-called freedom of the press the West advocates mean media outlets are free to produce lies and launch politically motivated suppression against a target while being immune from any punishments? If so, China doesn’t need such freedom of the press. The Western media has no moral high ground to criticize China over freedom of the press.

How’s China any worse? All of the surveillance they do, the U.S. does too, as far as their global expansionism, they use soft power much more than hard power.
I am reminded of…
Why are anti-China even in this community? Lmao. These folks should go to literally any other community with their anti-China propaganda with no evidence or sourcing. This isn’t reddit.com/r/China. We should expect people to have sources to back up their bigotry.

You’re anti-US, but you believe the US propaganda…?

No, criticism of China is needed, yes, but you are not doing criticism, you’re spreading lies.

Hong kong is already free, China freed it in 1997 from over 150 years of british colonial rule. Before that, it was under the rule of a british colonial governor, and had no elections.

You take criticizing China as liking the US which is not the same. Both suck :/
If you want to criticize China, I am open to that. Just make sure it doesn’t exactly resemble U.S. propaganda at a time when they are escalating their anti-China rhetoric, not because of human rights (the U.S. has a horrible record, for example more people are in prison in the U.S., than in China, which’s a larger country), but because of geopolitical dominance.

The US has its major injustices, but it doesn’t round up political disagreers (oh, dear Chelsea Manning would like to differ…), and Muslims and send them to re-education camps where they torture and murder them…
Ever heard of https://news.un.org/en/tags/guantanamo-0?
It was you, who first claimed China is worse (a comparative, not an equating statement)…
The US doesnt reeducate Muslims, instead they drop freedom bombs on them. Wait, why is that better???
