I'm not a South Park fan, but that ban got my interested so I watched the episode (Yeah, that episode is banned in China and few "reposter"s has been warned for posting South Park related contents). Few days ago, a guy been sent to jail for 7 days because he was complaining the National Day military parade, saying something like "A civilized nation turn machine into soldier; a rouge nation turn soldier into machine". And he's not the only one been sent to jail for similar reason. This country is not taking any critic any more. Cultural Revolution 2.0 Global Edition anybody? https://twitter.com/ytchui_M/status/1181289272466231296 https://twitter.com/ytchui_M/status/1181289272466231296

    "machine-generated" because my English mode still cold. I'm learning English with RNN, it takes awhile.

      Your English is fine. You could work a little on plurals vs singular forms of nouns if you want to present yourself as a native speaker. But your post was very understandable.

      I apologise: that remark was unfair and out of line. I was over-tired and jumped to a conclusion. Thanks also for the clarification: now I understand what you were saying.
      - rqs 7y ago
        Actually, me should be the one who apologize. Sometime I just somehow prioritized to send message out when I should be making a better statement. Which already caused multiple misunderstandings on HN alone. I should definitely try not to do that anymore.

  The point is: This country is not taking any critic any more. And, that's one of the reasons why the Cultural Revolution is ended horribly. Which is why this should raise some concern at least for Chinese people.

    Thanks. (To the other commenters: give them a break, not everyone is a native English speaker. I don't think that comment was machine generated)

      Fair: I was tired, cranky, and jumped to a conclusion I shouldn't have. I was wrong and I apologise.

  He appears to be a Chinese person who says China censors people too harshly.

I understand what you're saying. Some of the other commenters are being inconsiderate. It's dangerous when a nation loses the ability to criticize its government.
- ineedasername 7y ago
  Yes, it is dangerous. It's also an increasing trend in a few Western countries where vocal disagreement or criticism is labelled as treasonous or "they want to destroy our country". It's a really short walk from there to a truly awful society.

Is there an "underground" in China of people criticising the government and supporting hong kong, tibet, etc? If yes, how many people?

  I know an online forum if that counts, https://pincong.rocks https://pincong.rocks (Chinese, Browse with Tor) they're pretty anti-CCP in my opinion, and the only one I know of. I don't agreed with many of their posts, but if you want to waste your time in the chaotic Chinese political small talks, then maybe that's one place to look at. Also, keep in mind that you reading small talks there, so take everything with a grain of salt. I personally acquire most of the information on Twitter. I followed many people who working in the IT or related fields, and sometime they retweet political related stuff (As joke or mock mostly). This is how I know about that South Park episode.
