This is a warped perspective of censorship in China. Many people do post things like that and they’re completely fine. No one ever got “disappeared” for criticism of the government or complaining about corruption. In fact, I don’t think disappearing is even a thing, it’s more like if you want to subvert the government then you’ll get a visit from the police telling you to pipe down. But if you’re complaining about government performance then you’ll get a free pass. You can Google protests in China and there are hundreds of videos showing mass protests over various topics. What is happening in China isn’t some caricature of Winston getting brainwashed in 1984 - these kinds of stereotypes are frankly disturbing and indicates that the opinion holder has no real relationships with anyone in China. If anything, the US is the real oligarchic dystopia. The passing of the Patriot Act and this bill would only be confirmation of that. If only people could read Chinese and browse the Chinese web, then they would see the much more mundane reality for themselves.
