July 30, 2013 by Mr. Allen 5 Comments

Freedom of Speech

China is often regarded as a nation without Freedom of Speech - or at least a nation that disrespects Freedom of Speech, or a nation with serious infractions of Freedom of Speech.  I have often argued that such disparaging conclusions rarely turn out to based on Freedom itself, but a disrespect of China's social, historical, and political contexts and current interests.
