The USA has its own problems and downsides. But at least they are allowed to voice their opinions. On the other side of the pond, if you want to voice your concerns or opinions, you can do that during ur interrogation and jail time. You pointed out that the US did a lot of stuff and that China should be allowed to as well. Why would you want China to become like the US if they are so bad?
What do you mean by, "as bad as the "media" makes them sound"? Which bad thing are you talking about?
With the first link of chains forged, the first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us irrevocably.
