    I’m not American, but I am very much a Westerner.

    I can protest my government’s shitty politics. I can vote in politicians that amplify the message. I can donate to politicians in other jurisdictions than mine that have good politics. MPs and MEPs that represent me and people who think like me have taken brave stances, have thrown wrenches, have done what they could. One day, just like we stopped South African Apartheid, we WILL stop Israeli Apartheid, and you can shove your cynicism up yours.

    Are Chinese citizens allowed to do ANY of that?

      You know this guy is gonna say they are allowed to, and choose not to because they love their government sooo much. Kind of like how the people of Germany loved Hitler so much that 99.3% of them voted for him in his last election.
