The difference is that China is honest about what its doing. It doesn't pretend to value a limitless freedom of speech or media and use that as a cudgel to appear morally superior. The Chinese government and most Chinese citizens understand that heavy censorship is used to keep society stable and they accept that bargain.

Whereas in the US, the growing right wing is undermining the legitimacy of the system and now liberal democracy is facing an unprecedented threat and scaling back on the freedom of speech and media. This is justified by gaslighting and labeling anyone who supports Trump a near terrorist. This is how censorship in liberal democracies has always worked, you just smear anyone who threatens the system to the point that others are afraid to speak in support for them or their ideas. This is why the American system is very hypocritical and why virtue signaling is disgusting because it is very superficial and fake.

There's no real freedom.

Even God invented a hell to keep human freedom in check.


Freedom as free as possible for doing good is always good, allowed, and even endorsed.

But freedom to doing bad things is should be destroyed as fast as possible.
