The People’s Republic of China is an oppressive place with a government that doesn’t allow you to say anything bad about it. President Xi Jinping censors criticism on any issue from poverty, to brutal COVID-19 lockdowns, to state-sanctioned massacres, to anything that might reveal that he doesn’t care about his people's well-being.
