    China, Iran, Cuba

    I could believe Russia, but the people who’ve been to Cuba I’ve met show its absolutely false. The Iranians and people who’ve traveled to Iran I’ve met suggest there are religious police that do suck, but it technically being punishable doesn’t stop them from criticizing those cops to foreigners.

    Have you and others tried to criticise the CCP, though

    Yes, like all the time, you just have to ask about a specific policy someone has feelings on.

    red herring

    I’m trying to give a more general description of criticism and dissent within China.

      You could believe Russia? Mate, they have been arresting those criticise the war in Ukraine and Putin. In Cuba and China, they could say anything about corrupt individuals as long as they avoid criticising the overall party polices and leaders themselves. Iranians could criticise cops and politicians sure, but not the ayatollahs and the restrictive sharia law. Could people in Iran, China and Iran even vote for anyone not vetted by the ruling parties?

      Again, I have to applaud your attempt to downplay the severity of these authoritarian regimes. Cleverest PR spin I have seen in a while. 5 cents straight to your bank account. Your level of English is showing.
