I’ve often heard that China is authoritarian, particularly due to events like the suppression of student protests in Hong Kong. However, I’m curious about more recent examples. Conversely, I’ve been hearing about the UK’s Online Safety Act being used to target Wikipedia editors and silence protests, which raises questions about authoritarian tendencies there as well. What specific examples do you have that demonstrate whether these countries are authoritarian or not?

    Hahaha you cited the NYT and the Guardian. Awesome sources. Your billionaire-owned “sources” mean nothing here.

      Good thing you dismiss what you disagree with without any further arguments. Waste someone else’s time please.

        Treating the NYT seriously, after watching it spend two years being to the Gaza Holocaust what Der Sturmer was to the original Holocaust, is obscene.
