    I’m well aware, but, hey, we don’t get thrown in prison for questioning our leaders or the reported stories.

        Oh look. Assange. Again. It’s like when you click on a link hoping someone’s been more clever than to try rickrolling again, but they haven’t.

        It’s worth noting that there has been plenty of criticism from leading US journalism outlets over the handling of Assange’s case. Answer honestly, would you ever see that in China?

        Are you trying to argue that China isn’t a terrible, totalitarian state? What is your point, even? Chinese whataboutism is so obnoxious.

          Any State is totalitarian because that is the very essence of a State, if I agree with anarchists on something, it’s that. Address my previous comment, don’t evade it, otherwise we would going forth and back forever. The West does the very same things you say it doesn’t.
