Mhm, lets instead chauvinistically tell the Chinese people that we know what's best for them, because our own country and government is such a stellar example of a functional liberal democracy and shining bastion of democratic principles.

If criticizing the government is illegal then how are all these protests against the zero covid policy happening??

People are getting arrested and please remember that several decades ago people were shot to death for protesting at Tienamen square (sorry for the spelling). In China, you aren’t allowed to even mention or memorialize that event while in America you are free to memorialize the shootings at Kent State.
Many of the people criticizing China’s government on this thread also find plenty of fault with Americas. However, there are greater political freedoms in America than in China, where you can’t even search the internet freely and you aren’t allowed even to criticize the government.

This protest is run by college students from China who are trying to effect change. Maybe I was less than clear—

2016 poll biases aside, you should really try to see what’s changed after the pretextual covid policy tortured the country for three years. What on earth is quarantining entire buildings going to do when one person tests positive? A lot of those positive tests are bogus btw
