I'm so tired of hearing about US police brutality and China being authoritarian. Why does it feel like everyone is a hypocrite here? Where are the posts about Chinese protests and police brutality?

I bet if the kind of things happening in the US happened in China, I wouldn't be able to stop hearing about it. I mean, people are still criticizing the Tiananmen Square massacre, and hasn't anything happened since then? It's like still making conspiracy theories about Kennedy's assassination or 9/11, those are old news.
You're viewing a single thread.
Something about freedom of the press. (Or online at all)
You still can’t talk about the Tiananmen Square inside China.
In fact, this picture is banned because it was meant to get around the censors:
There’s other things, too, like Winnie the Pooh (guess why?)
Also, our protesters might get brutalized and slapped with some petty charges. Theirs disappear . After and during which they’re brutalized, too.

Ours also disappear.
Not nearly on the same level as what China does.
Or as pervasive.
It should be noted we’re actually free to talk about that in a way that you’d never be in China.
Is the US authoritarian? Absolutely. But compared to China or North Korea, it’s almost nothing.

And am I supposed to take your word or the one from the BBC for it? Why not link something from a less biased source, like from a country that doesn't host any US military.
Full tanker mode, engage!
But yeah, you won't see any of that on legitimate Chinese press.
You know that China is currently engaging in 2 different large-scale genocides, right? Or that they crushed (very literally) an entire city-worth of protests in Hong Kong just about 5 years ago, right? People don't talk about those because people outside of China don't spend their days criticizing China, and people inside China don't spend any time criticizing China.
