you’ve yet to address it except to make the courageous claim that there is no censorship in China.

I never made the claim that there is no censorship in China. That would be a ridiculous claim to make considering that there is indeed censorship in China. There is censorship in the West as well, though it is of a different character.

Edit to add: Chinese people aren’t afraid to discuss the Tiananmen riots, as smug online Westerners seem to enjoy believing. That’s ridiculous. But Westerners smugly believe it, in fact it seems as if they want it to be true.

I feel like we're playing word games now but maybe I just misinterpreted you. Are these topics censored on the Chinese internet or not? That was the whole point of my original comment.

Chinese people aren’t afraid to discuss the Tiananmen riots

I never said they were afraid to discuss them. Just that they were banned on the Chinese internet.

Ad hominim ad nauseum. This just makes it seem like there is no substance to what you're saying if you keep resorting to ad hominims.
