Before I came to China I never understood how the word "freedom" could be perceived in so many different ways.
Have you had any experience which really opened up your eyes to this fact?
The world is not just USA and Europe. The world is very wide 😂
Not many people realize that 💥
They think the world should become like them 😂😂😂
as a Thai man raised in America since 3 years old, i was also indoctrinated to believe American freedom is best. however, my parents talk of life back in the homeland of: freedom to relax, enjoy life, small govt, community.. yes, they were poor but were emotionally, spiritually fulfilled. in America, we have more money but are unfulfilled, lonely, lost, unhappy.
freedom is most important/prioritized thing for people who does NOT really have it...
中国一直在进步，也一直在开放。25年前，一个老外敢在路上拍视频，就会有街道上的居委会大爷大妈上前询问，甚至便衣警察阻止你拍摄，甚至先把你抓走审查了再说。10年前，凤凰台记者在路上采访，多拿了一个看板，都被阻止，而现在的中国，很多老外在中国路上拍视频，拍vlog，没有人管你。如果那些反共反华的人，在路上故意喊反动口号或是去偷拍军事基地，那就是自已找死！虽然现在中国境内还不能随便上youtube等，但那也是因为中国对自己的治理还不够满意，不够自信，同时也是为了保护境外的网站，否则中国8亿网民，有1/3是爱国网民，就近3亿，足以把世界网络洗版了！！！

I think there are a lot of people who do respect Chinese culture. But respect doesn't mean that you can't express disagreement.

Lol Barret is a CCP shill. He is being paid by the Chinese government
I suspect that God isn't very happy with China. They've participated in a lot of wrongs. They've been ruthless with its people; they imprison people for the smallest errs. They execute their own people for talking against the leaders. They practiced harvesting the organs of "law breakers" for years. There is no freedom for the Chinese citizens. Chinese government does not allow Christianity. The Chinese Christians have to hide in caves at night to practice their love for Jesus. There is no freedom for the Chinese. Only internal freedom that comes from God.
This has to be one of the best video by Olly. You look calm and collected. Your argument has been sound, without being intimidating. Well done.
Freedom is relative, it's not absolute. You cannot use your freedom to infringe upon another person's freedom, or use your freedom for harm. In other words, you have consider how your freedom will impact another person's life. If you live with other people, you have to sacrifice some freedom for the sake of society. If you want total freedom, you have to go live out in the nowhere. You cannot just go shot somebody if you feel like it. If you cannot just insult somebody if you feel like it. There are limits to your freedom if you live in a society, you have use it responsibly. There is a cost associated with irresponsible behaviours. So freedom is not completely free if you live in a society in the sense you can do whatever because if that's the case, then there is no control what kind of behaviours are accepted and it can be used to hurt other people. You need to put limits to what you can do. Imagine if we live in a society where people can just do whatever they want. Then everybody what be fighting with each other whenever they are frustrated. Please use freedom for the goodness of this world, not for evil. Not like the USA, chanting freedom but dropping bombs on other people.
说的很好！👍
Well said. It is so ironic that the person shouting 'freedom', seems to often ignore the freedoms of all other parties.
Freedom without respect and responsibility to others will results in anarchy
Well said!!!
if freedom without respect and responsibilities, it's no different between human and 峨眉山的monkey( goutou )
Well shared of thought. If I could add on then I would like to share the word 'Respect'. We often hear people say please respect my freedom of this and that... But, I personally feel that many people has forgotten the word 'Respect'. Like you have shared, people expects freedom without restrain or boundry but never thought is that feasible. If everyone also has freedom without restrain and boundry, I wonder how choatic the world can be. The world is still not chaotic is not because all of us knowing how to respect but because governed by laws and regulation. A true freedom can only be achieved when everyone start respecting others and accepting deversity even without laws and regulations.

Well said, every word spoken defined the difference in perception between the West and China’s definition of the word Freedom.
Thank you
I don’t know about China, but every time I said truthful things about the crimes and atrocities that the US government has committed, but white people find offensive, RUclips or the people operating the RUclips channel always blocked me! Including the Barrett’s channel! So what kind of freedom of speech is that?
For example: just because I pointed out the fact that the racist US government banned anybody from taking pictures of the Chinese railroad workers in the 1800’s in order to prevent the Chinese people from getting any credit for building the railroads across America and the fact that the US also forced the Chinese government to take the bodies of over 200,000 dead Chinese railroad workers back to China so that they could be buried there instead of allowing them to be buried in the American soil since white Americans considered allowing dead Chinese people to be buried in the Anerican soil to be dishonorable to their land and for that my comment was blocked from being posted on RUclips! This comment that I’ve made is 100 true! Anybody who doubts what I said should pick up some reliable history books and do some research like I did for my Civil Rights classes that I took in college! I can understand blocking comments made by pathological liars like Crooked Trump since everything he says is a lie, but when somebody is telling the truth, even when it is a truth that might offend somebody, you have got to let them practice their freedom to speak! Otherwise, the west’s idea of freedom of speech is just a bunch of BS lies and hypocrisies!

Julian Assange is the person who can explain what western style freedom means
Yup, look at him now.
a most pertinent point. But worse would have happened to him had he whistle-blown in China exposing the conduct of the Chinese government. Yes/No? The west's treatment of Assange is nothing short of scandalous. I suspect that in China we would by now be calling it murderous.
Thank you for bringing out the security camera topic. As a Chinese living in Canada, I really wish there are more security cameras is Canada. I wouldnt let my mom walk dog after sunset. And when I go out when its dark I always worry and be vigilant of the surrounding even though I live in a fairly ok community.
I always hear and see people criticize China for having too many cameras that the government can spy its citizens and track everyone, and if they were to live in a society like that they would feel a part of their freedom is taken. Every time I hear someone say that I always get a big WTF in my mind. Like WTF makes you so important and interesting that the government wants to send time and recourse to watch you 24/7? What even makes you think you deserve the attention? Why would any government wants to spend so much recourses to watch its 1.4 billion citizens go about their average day, day after day? For what?
Yes,security camera is important
If free for all in 1.4billion China are to be a reality, I don't think anybody can handle it.
The camera is designed to monitor crime. If you are not a criminal or someone who affects social norms, no one will be interested in your life
For any Canadian, to directly experience what it feels like to live under so many cameras without going to China... go to London, in the UK.
Good god, every single pole in that city was infested with at least two dozen cameras each. I am aware that they're almost entirely private businesses trying to protect themselves, but London managed to make it creepy. Personally, I'd much prefer that we don't need so many security cameras here in Canada, especially on every random street like in London. The security cameras in China seem more out of the way than those in the UK, where the visible deterrence aspect is rather played up, but it sure as heck made London feel completely unappealing and unfriendly compared to Paris (which has its own fair share of cameras, but compared to London? Yeah.)
Strange how America criticises China for having cameras yet the FBI and CIA spies on everyone
FREEDOM? Ask Meng Wanzhou what she thinks of freedom in the West 😂

There's a huge gap between RESPONSIBLE freedom from SENSELESS freedom.
There is no absolute freedom. Excessive freedom will only bring chaos. The murderer will regard murder as his freedom. The rapist will regard rape as his freedom.
Just look at the mask debate where passengers able assault flight staffs
China has a senseless authoritarian rule.
true
you mean between responsible and irresponsible what would senseless freedom be?
Many people don't know that Chinese socialism is more like the Singapore, not the Soviet Union or North Korea. This is also due to the uniqueness of Chinese history and Chinese culture. Of course, China used to be more like the Soviet model, and at the same time it made many mistakes and disasters. But you need to know that China from an ancient society, the end of the Qing Dynasty, from a history of humiliation to colonization, to the 21st century, only more than a hundred years. China has tried many methods, a lot of wrong roads and a lot of lessons learned, even before 1949 also. And now, finally found the correct modern economic route.
中国哪里像新加坡，不懂就不要胡扯。
是的，當年國家很窮，決定走改革開放的道路時，當時的領導人鄧小平先生有去新加坡拜訪李光耀先生取經，李光耀先生還鼓勵鄧小平說：“我們能做到的，你們也一定能做到”。鄧先生回來後，就大刀闊斧的搞了個特區深圳，並派了人材團隊去香港和新加坡學習先進的管理經驗、公務員體制和金融貿易，回來就應用上了，深圳試點成功後，就逐漸把各種經驗擴大到全國各地省市。

作为一个中国人，我们理解的自由是积极的，具体的，而非抽象的，消极的。对我们来说，自由意味着免于饥饿，自由意味着免于被威胁，自由意味着安全，自由意味着自由的生活。
我们并不把散布仇恨和恶意的言论看成自由，也不把个人拥有枪支看成自由--相反，我们认为这是对其他人的安全的一种潜在威胁，它妨碍了其他人免于恐惧的自由。我们也不把攻击政府和分裂社会看成一种自由，与此相反，我们有人大会议的提案制度，对于如何更好的运行社会形成讨论，最后产生可以执行的方案和政策。
怎样的自由才是好的自由？也许在网络空间里会一直争论下去，谁也说服不了对方。但若你有机会生活在其中，你将会对这种非常具体的自由有更加真切的感受。
Westerners mostly seek Freedom from the outside (desires). Easterners attain Freedom from the inside (inner peace). When the mind is not in peace, you will never see beauty in the world.

a tad sycophantic and fawning
Having lived in UK for over 20 years and now stay in China, I think there is a profound difference in understanding freedom. Chinese people think it is important to repect other people's interests while have their own freedom. It is very similar to Japaness concept that you should not bring troubles to others. For example, in terms of wearing masks, Western freedom emphasis on that it is my own right not to wearing them. However, Chinese people think you should wear them as by not doing so, you may spread the virus to others and you should not have the right doing so. Which one is better depends on your social background but judging from the Covid-19 results, I think the Chinese way is more reasonable. Chinese people also think a lot of political correctness practices are ridiculous.
I have been told by Chinese people that when a Chinese person cheats another person they don't feel they did something immoral. Instead they view their cheating as an act of greater intelligence than their victim's.

Because you are a foreigner, you get different treatment. You can watch Twitter and oil pipes. Ordinary people in China can't do that. If you are ordinary people in China, you won't think that Chinese people have enough freedom!i am a Chinese,i know!
The concept of freedom is different between the West and the East. The West consider freedom as individual freedom or rights, whereas in the east, freedom is a collective freedom or rights. In the east, we dont have the right to bear arms because it might cause danger to the society. But in the west individual has the right be own guns to defend themself.
DEsmond tan Not quite, in the US yes and that´s what makes that country so dangerous. DO not confuse the US with " the west ".
Desmond Tan Can you tell me the difference between "individual rights" and "collective rights" because in the West, All individuals have "equal "rights under the law. Which is the way i would want it.
I would like to add.
The culture of self-sustainbility is still very fresh in the new world because systemic government was lacking in strength in terms of recent modern historical memories. This is because of the new frontier progressiveness - "New Discoveries" - New Age.
Hunting and defending one's own family (Or self) when nobody is nearby to help was of utmost importance. In fact you can even find this similarity in practiced culture for more fringe societies in China and Mongolia.
When a nation is culturally and socially very developed, I believe they no longer have a need for this kind of individual defense mentality. So the focus shifts to the want of a socially constructed defense. Hunter & Gatherer vs. Civilization mentality.
During the height of various Western societies - even in historical times - cities did not require citizens to carry weapons, in fact it was considered barbaric and destabilizing. Sure, you had a few warring state nations such as Spartans who, by law, all citizens must also be militarily trained in the basics of things at minimum. However, in terms of arms, once a society hits a certain point of development, their armed forces is usually delegated to the military and police en mass.
@@edwardbolton7257 haha, all individuals have equal rights. Unless you're female or black or poor or gay or trans or.......

Hi Barret, thanks your great work that may wake some people to open eye to see the whole world rather than just western.
The best summary you've given, "the social justice war". This is a really ironic term when someone pushes "freedom" idealogy to others.

@@edwardbolton7257 That's why I call it ironic. If freedom became a specific ideology, a spoken- or written rule, the "freedom" would not be a freedom.

I immigrated to the US at a very young age but growing up in a Chinese household, I completely agree with your take on this topic.
In the US, people (some not all) can be very judgemental and narrow minded especially those who grew up or live in rural areas. They grew up with the mindset that the US is the biggest powerhouse in the world. The US government wants other developing countries such as China, need to listen and follow the Western methods of doing things. This is so wrong. What you said about some people being ignorant and naive are so true. It amazes me how some people can be like that.
You hit the home run about the West doesn't need to interfere with China or vice versa (I don't recall the exact wording you used), every country has their own methods of governing their own society.
Lastly, social media in the West is awful, and they do an excellent job on brain washing individuals who have never visited other countries. So many people around me always commented saying "China is communist, they do this and that. I saw it on xxxx news." Not just China, but other countries in Asia, Africa, or South America. They've never been there and they don't know what people are like there. The "news" only provider their biased opinions through their channel, it's never neutral.
To truly understand one's culture, we should all visit the country and learn/observe from those who live there.
Thank you for sharing, always good to watch your videos. Stay healthy and safe!
Freedom is the ability to make a social media platform and censor anyone you want on it😁😁Seriously tho, if its your social media you should be able to make the rules it operates on, right?
The prerequisite for freedom is to have a harmonious, stable and safe country. There is no point in freedom without these empty talks. If a country tells a dilapidated country that you must have freedom and human rights, otherwise it will send troops to intervene and let you have human rights and freedom. As a result, the people suffering from the perennial war have been miserable. Those countries that wield the human rights stick are doing human rights violations in other countries, messing up other countries and then leaving and leaving behind a lot of mess. Is this the human rights and freedom that the West believes in?

中国的历史教会我们，如果统治阶级没办法得到民心，那就要去暴力推翻，所以从某种意义上来说，中国的执政党是靠人民暴力选出来的，如果一个国家的执政党不得民心，那么国家的法律根本就得不到国家暴力机关的执行，就像是警察，军队等。因为说白了警察军人脱下那件制服也只是个普通的民众而已。当我们发现问题，我们可以通过网络和媒体表达自己的诉求。如果你愿意花一点时间去翻翻看微博等平台的一些人的言论，你会发现其实言论还是挺自由的。当问题没办法通过政府的变革而解决而这些问题已经严重的影响到大多数人的时候，那就还是老祖宗教的那一套，使用暴力革命推翻政权，再建立一个新的政权。

作为一个中国人，我很感激能看到如此公正客观的评价。我说说一个本土大陆人对freedom的看法。
在一些方面，我们看似放弃一部分freedom，比如私人信息，刷脸还有指纹，是因为一种顾全大局的信任，为了能统一管理并方便尽可能多的大多数人。任何事都是有利有弊，如果这些私人信息能不被滥用而是科学统一妥善管理，那么看似没有freedom实际是不留下任何让黑暗滋生的死角。这是为什么到处是监控，女孩子能夜晚独自安然在大路上，支付宝的使用率超过现金的原因。
当然，西方对个人权利的高度重视也令人起敬，毕竟，每个人的自由，权利得到充分重视，人性的充分解放，这个国家，这个世界，才会越来越好。

In my opinion: the freedom to eat is absolutely the foundational freedom. Without it, any other freedom is completely valueless. That China has removed the fear of not finding the next meal for oneself or one's family, is a powerful argument in favour of the idea that China is, in fact, freer than any other major country. Without a home to call your own, you are not free, in many western countries, to get a job or a bank account or a pension and many people are, in fact, homeless. So how are they "free"? They are free to vote? You sure of that?
Yes of course you are right. If a person who is starving is given a choice between voting and eating it is obvious what they will choose

中国是举国体制，而非集体主义。
As a Chinese now live in Germany, I have to say that there are not so much difference between western countries and China. Citizens both have the freedom to criticize the capitalists and capitalism. The only difference is that in western countries capitalists made up the government. With China’s reform and opening up, ideological constraints have become less obvious, and the Chinese government will never give power to capital. So the only way is to build government credibility, in other words Chinese government is not only a institution but a kind of belief as well. I think that's why Chinese government has so much power.
When I was in China, I heard people talked shit about the government all the time. Some teachers like to talk about that too. None of them were detained or fined. I have even seen little posters talking shit about a particular government officer. Not really a problem. The government has bigger problem to worry about. It would be more of a problem if someone/organization is doing it in an organized way though.
You made the sense, actually we have more people that are against our government than you can imagine including some teachers, you will be fine as long as you won`t post it in public.
Good for you that you are wise at your young age. I am sure you will be successful in life.
You really explained how "freedom" is in different countries quite thoroughly. I can use your video now as a reference to tell people about China's freedom. You are wise beyond your age.
There is no absolute freedom. Excessive freedom will only bring chaos. The murderer will regard murder as his freedom. The rapist will regard rape as his freedom.

Well one can criticize the China govt inside China, but it depends on how you put forth your criticisms.
If you have a real or close to a real concrete case, you need to back up with basic evidence, or present your case at least logic wise that makes sense.
Of course anything about 'down with the CPC' or 'down with Xi Jinping' are not allowed, nor anything encouraging people to overthow the China govt.
However, to give an example:
1. There are more than 130 people got shot (by gun) to death everyday in USA (fact)
2. Don't go to the USA, you will be shot to death (Lie).
The China govt wants to manage the lie and misinformaiton in the second case.
Of course things are not as clear cut and simple as the above but this are the general direction. I am not even saying govt or govt officials are always right.
No extremism, be it anti or pro China/CPC.
Just one needs to be responsible for one's own speech. Because for some people, spreading rumors or misinformation is costs free.
The last thing China govt or most of the Chinese wants is misinformation and fake news polarizing the society and create unnecessary hatre between groups.
In general, the Chinese has more trust and faith in their own government than their fellow human being in the West.
We believe that everyone should have the same freedom, the rich and the poor, the leaders and the general staff, the good and the bad person. If we have to make some trade-offs, we tend to reduce the freedom of those who do bad things, and in China, we can criticize the government if they make bad decisions or policies, but we can't destroy the government because it undermines the freedom of others. We prefer more equality than freedom.
So if someone killed your only child,you would prefer he goes free , rather than to prison to pay for his crimes?

Even Olli says you can't publicly criticise the Chin. government. So you disagree. And in European countries, e.g., of course you cannot destroy the government. In fact people there don't have to because they elect a new government. It's and orderly process of change usually (not always!) without chaos.
Good reflection, Oli 👍. I hope more people will do the same - stop and reflect on their internalized beliefs, values, perceptions etc, ask ourselves questions, look up information- history, facts…… Just don’t jump to conclusions too easily, especially when it involves hatred or aggression towards others.
You have described the subject of freedom in both countries exactly 100% right,and you are very articulate.I love your video.❤️❤️❤️
Emm……I agree with you. Freedom is a very broad term,and as you know,many people can consider what freedom is from different perspective.There is no absolute standard for it.
Thanks great wisdom and these are the kind of video I enjoy.

In China, at least from junior high school, students are taught "rights and obligations are united" in class. So, for example, you have the right of speaking freely, but meanwhile, you should fulfill obligations of respecting others' rights and not damaging benefits of the country.
I think it's reasonable, because
without fulfilling obligations, like respecting others' rights, it's selfishness but not freedom;
and without fulfilling rights, it's the negation of human rights (in which western countries criticizing Chinese government fiercely).
Simply, if you respect the country and others, then you can live freely and happily in China.
When I heard people saying wearing mask violate their freedom, how small your freedom is.
as a Thai man raised in America since 3 years old, i was also indoctrinated to believe American freedom is best. however, my parents talk of life back in the homeland of: freedom to relax, enjoy life, small govt, community.. yes, they were poor but were emotionally, spiritually fulfilled. in America, we have more money but are unfulfilled, lonely, lost, unhappy.

You are wrong to say that Chinese cannot criticize the government in public and online. We can, and often do. Go to a small street corner in any city and you'll see a bunch of old people sitting around chatting about the communist Party's latest policies, or talk to taxi drivers, especially in Beijing, and they'll tell you everything the government is doing. Online, especially on Weibo, there was more criticism. The only problem is, you don't understand our language ,so you have no idea these things exist. This is also the problem of most westerners, who cannot understand China deeply.

about the safety, i think the big difference between China with some other country is that, “why China doesn't have so much crime” VS “why other country need/want to do crime”. China is one of the most not aggressive country. China just want to live peacefully. if you like me, ok let us happy together, if not, ok i won't bother you again. No offense speaking, for now most developed countries have the history of colony and plunder. even old China give values to other small country to show the strong and power, but not with war or plunder
just discovered your page, as an "international person "through a lifetime of living, working and visiting countries worldwide it is refreshing to see a young lad with so much sense.; and presenting logical arguments so well. BTW I first came to china in 1996 now have been living here in retirement with my Chinese wife for the last 4 years
Oli, I am a Chinese fan of your channel, one thing I have to point out is that, In China, you can openly criticize the government, say on the internet, but you have to be grounded and not start rumors, e.g., we Chinese often like to compare our hometown with that of people from other provinces, and sometimes we do complain publicly about our local government for not having been optimally improved or developed certain aspects of our city and public life, simply because we envy the development of neighboring province or other peer-level cities. On the other hand, personally, say during a dinner, friends are free to talk about their feelings about how government does its job, it's totally fine, but if you are advocating publicly something negative about the government, you must be true and based on facts (otherwise your friends will find you a hater, not to mention the possible punishment from government). Actually, about ten years ago, some pro-west public figures, called "公知" (translated to public intellectual), often talked untrue superiorities about western world and compared against China to mislead people to think that Government is not doing right, which are found largely wrong and not true in the end. We Chinese people hate those 公知, but back to the old days they were OK and not punished by law (but they should have been arrested I think).

I frame the issue slightly differently. The West loves dichotomies and trying to create a black and white world - "You are either with us or against us" - and so the opposite of freedom or 'liberalism' must be 'illiberalism' or fascism. And so any country that doesn't fully embrace the Western ideals of liberalism is seen as fascist/totalitarian. But there is a third choice - non-liberal. Neither liberal nor illiberal, it neither encourages nor discourages liberal values, since those values are not paramount as they supposedly are in the West. Most non-Western countries are somewhere in the triangle of those three points, and may lean toward different sides depending on the issue. Some countries are very liberal economically, but illiberal in religion, yet non-liberal in regards to media.
In a similar fashion, theism is contrasted with atheism/anti-theism, but also non-theism. It is not agnosticism (Are their gods?), but simple indifference (So what if there are gods). Non-theism ignores the question and seeks fulfillment elsewhere. Traditional Marxism promoted atheism, but I view the PRC as non-theist. People can practice whatever faith they want, as long as it doesn't disrupt society or seek to impose itself on others.
And as Oli wonderfully points out, the West cannot even agree on what is 'liberal'. (And I would argue that they cannot even define 'conservatism' either anymore.) "Social Justice" war is a great description. And as others have noted, Western liberalism is very rooted in individualism. Freedoms, rights, privileges, etc are seen as individual perogatives. China and other countries have a more communal view of freedoms and rights, a greater sense of familial and social responsibilities and obligations, and a less materialist definition of success that doesn't prioritize individual achievements
Underlying this whole debate is one of the great questions of this century. Can a country be free from US hegemony - which serves oligarchs and their interests, not the liberal society protrayed in its propaganda. That hegemony is crumbling both from within (Gen Z and Millennials are far less vested in the system since they unable to afford what it 'offers', and have a more global and humanistic viewpoint that previous generations), and from without - the rise of China being paramount, but other nations and regions declaring their own path as well.
说的很棒!👍
@粉絲 原来如此，你比中国人自己还要更了解中国人，能代替中国人决定什么是对中国人更好的，能代替中国人自己对他们进行政治的定义。
I think you can do what you want without touching any laws and regulations. That's freedom.
A Chinese student went to US to attend a summer camp. He did not like US because it was lack of freedom - too many restrictions in US. It is understandable, as there are many rules and regulations to follow in the western countries!
As an indigenous Chinese legal civilian, I do really like your perspective on reading the word of freedom here.
I think it is quite similar that whether the nation or the states is monopolized by a government or a capitalism nominal one.

China got more freedom speech than the west.. China every 9ne not what to say plus the Chinese government doing a great jobs why should anyone criticism of the government. You get work no riot you can walk down the street you are safe. What else you want
There is actually no absolute freedom of speech or behavior. What is the so called "freedom" is what is really what is permitted by the laws of each country to maintain its social order, public security/stability etc etc. For example, which country allow anyone to simply shout "Fire" or talk loudly, in a crowded cinema, or in a library or in a court room or when a judge walks in, can you exercise your personal freedom by refusing to stand up when the "All rise" call is made? Or simply just drive through the "Red" traffic lights? Or walk naked in the streets? One may think it is your right but if the the law don't allow it or even in the places where there is no law for it, you may end up in some kind of trouble if you create public/social disorder or nuisance. Every place on earth has its own laws/rules on what their people can or cannot do, for such social/community reasons...and even if we don't understand or agree with their reasons, we have to respect that, because the whole world don't belong to any particular one or any party alone.
Criticism: you can accuse government leaders of wrong policies.
But you can't radically discredit leaders. Or verbally abuse anyone. These are two different questions.
The government accepts any criticism of the wrong policy. If you have evidence.
In China, if a disaster happens, the local first person in charge will be punished.
For example, after the outbreak in Wuhan. The mayor was soon removed from office.
In case of a major accident on the high-speed railway, the Minister of railways, emergency command and technical director shall be subject to criminal punishment
China has real democracy. Because the Chinese people's supervisory power is effective. A country is a false democracy if the people's supervisory power is invalid. Whether you ask the government to change its policies through any means, demonstrations or online protests, if the government ignores the wishes of the people, the people's supervision power in the country is invalid, which is a false democracy. The government doesn't care about your cry and parade. If a country fails to do so except for social problems, such as untimely disaster relief or other government responsibilities, resulting in heavy losses to the people, then someone in the government should be punished. This is called the official accountability system in China. But in the west, there is no such thing. It is impossible for western political parties to allow such a thing to exist. Therefore, many countries are false democracies. Capitalists and consortia rule the whole country, the media is theirs, the voice of the people at the bottom, the media will not report, and the role of the media is propaganda brainwashing.
That's really ture.I'm an original Chinese.
