        That’s right. Because not every single person is in jail, no problem exists. /s

        How about this: even putting one person in jail because of political opinion is an oppressive, undemocratic action.

          Better tell that to literally every government on the planet, then.

          Jailing dissidents is government oppression, but it’s a type of government oppression that happens in every major government, democratic or not. Welcome to the real world.

            This post was about China, not other countries. What China is doing is an atrocity and your whataboutism doesn’t change that.
