What you are saying is factual (though you may be surprised to what lengths you can go to re: speech). I challenge you to find where I said otherwise. I was refuting OP's counterproductive hysteria. What you have mentioned here is unrelated.

If "most citizens of most Western countries were not systematically disenfranchised, monitored, disappeared, tortured, and killed" is meant to be contrastive with China (otherwise what's the point?) then the implication is that most citizens of China do suffer from that and thus "in constant fear for their livelihoods, lives, and loved ones".
Of course if you think that's terribly hyperbolic and not a charitable interpretation of the original poster's statement, then there's no actual disagreement.
