Understandably there’s a lot of anger directed against the police and administrators that censored Dr Li. Of course they will be convicted of corruption or misconduct or something, but that just makes them victims too. They were doing their jobs exactly the way they were trained and incentivised to do it. I’m not justifying them, actively supporting a corrupt system is a corrupt thing to do, but them being punished by the system they worked for is bullshit.

I just hope Chinese people realise that the censorship of their protests about this is exactly the same as the censorship of Dr Li. It’s the same system run by the same people for the same reasons.

It’s crap like this that the HK protesters are trying to keep out of HK. Most Chinese mainlanders swallowed the party line about HK. I hope this gives them cause to reconsider that attitude.
