Okay but like what happens in Beijing when you say you're not satisfied? Also, weren't there large scale protests there not to long back?

Tanked. You get tanked.
Careful where you say that, you'll be sent one for four articles saying it didn't happen

It's so interesting that in a country where bitching about the government will land you in prison, people don't publicly bitch about the government
On top of everything else, you've used the meme format incorrectly. Do better.
It's almost like people won't publicly criticize the government when the government imprisons and kills people who publicly criticize it and their families.
"How's life in China ?"
"We can't complain."
"Really, that's great. "
"No, we seriously can't !"
Huh, is that why the people of Hong Kong seemed so happy in that last bout of protests? You know, when over 1 million people took to the streets, protested and set the city on fire? Also, and just out of interest, is your government still using "prisoner's of conscience" as an organ donor pool or have they finally shut down their concentration camps?

Don't spend your 5 mao all in one place
or people in China could be scared to say anything bad about their scene.
Well, that's the US fault for not thinking about that smh.
My I ask which one of these countries has freedom of speech?
I'm pretty sure if you say anything in either place that isn't "allowed" you get treated equally.
Definitely not the USA, if a black man says something to a police that they don’t like, they get shot in the spot.
That happened once
US military promises ‘hellscape’ of drone swarming in future China war
Freedom coming to China real soon, just like: Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Libya, Uganda, Niger, Iraq again, Syria, Libya again...
edit: again...
What? No, I don't think the US will invade China.
Yeah, it's quite unlikely, we're both making too much money off each other.
It all depends on Taiwan and the SCS regional partners now.
I mean even discarding that. Hypothetically, let's say the US and China declare war on each other. Neither country would be able to invade the other. I mean, the US is good at force projection, but how in the world would any nation conduct an amphibious invasion of a country like China and manage supply lines across the Pacific sufficient to support an invasion force?
It just... it doesn't make coherent sense.
The US could definitely do that, their logistics capabilities are immense. On top of that you have the submarine fleet, as well as assistance from regional allies. Probably not enough to take the entire country, but enough for it to capitulate through conventional means.
I mean we could land an army and send them support, just not enough to execute a conquest of China. Home field advantage is a major thing, you know
Iraq needed a double dose of freedom.
Always go for the double tap.
