China is violating fundamental human rights of over a billion people - both Chinese nationals and others abroad who can't speak negatively of China out of fear of repression - on a daily basis due to its heavy curb on freedom of expression. Whatever restrictions western democracies have on expression cannot even begin to approach China's.

China's stance on freedom is a calamity and the magnitude and impact of its state policies is one of the great tragedies in human history.
