An American tells a Chinese that the United States is so free he can stand in front of the White House and yell, “To hell with Donald Trump.” The Chinese replies: “That’s nothing. I can stand in front of the Tianmen Square and yell, ‘To hell with Donald Trump” too." (yes I didn't come up with this)
Believe it or not Europe has the least amount of free speech. In many countries here you can be arrested or fined simply for expressing a certain point of view. I moved here a few years back and am shocked at how oppressive it is.
Freedom of speech doesn’t not mean freedom to spew hate.
It does. Only speech that doesnt have freedom is threatening or endorsing violence or causing physical harm. Everything you say has the potential for somebody else to hate it. Freedom of speech by definition includes hate.
Lol
This is an old Soviet joke, delivered to the US public by Reagan. You can search YouTube for Reagan Soviet jokes and will surely stumble upon this one.
Yep that's why I added the parentheses, even more relevant now with internet and all
China has lower tolerance on political topic, but higher tolerance on economic, society and technology topics.
This is true pre 2019 now look at the political pressure sinking to other areas....
As a chinese moved from China two years ago. I felt I should be more cautious about my speech in the US. You must be very careful about topic like race, black and LGBT, etc. In China we can talk about anything and politics, but just criticize the decisions, not point to someone.
LMAO you can talk anything and politics in China? Are you from another parallel universe? Of course there is no LGBT and race issue in China, are they even allowed? For example, Uighurs. You guys just think you are smart enough to use LGBT stuffs to defend your communism CCP.
have you lived in china or even been to china once? all you know about china is from your western media propaganda right? same for chinese who has never been to america, that’s how america is in their mind - 50% possibility of getting shot in new york in daylight, have to carry small cash all the time in case someone asks money from you and if you don’t give you die, mass shootings everywhere any day. do you think these are real? i truly believe someone lived in both in china and america knows more than you who just got biased and fake information from media.
TC or GTFO
I feel there is not too much room for free speech, especially, DemocRats enforce Political Correctness (PC), not Logical Correctness, it is very bad for all Americans. and please don't teach others what's free speech before Logical Correctness over PC
No it’s not the same level, you will even get award for criticizing Trump in Tianmen. Your example proves that they have better freedom of speech.
Good point, you can't even take a train in us since they didn't displace millions to build them
