This is bad. But the fact that you can post links to articles written by journalists here is proof enough that this was not okay and unacceptable.

Do you have articles about similar things happening in China by Chinese media?

The first article is from Wikipedia so you are being highly disingenuous. The second thing is that it is pretty much okay and acceptable since this has never stopped. You seem to believe that if the US does something wrong and it is reported then everything is fine in the world, well, no. This guy went to jail for revealing that the drone attacks were ineffective and amounted to criminal actions:

I can read about it, that does not make it even 0.0001% better.

Since you asked:

The problem with most westerners is that they just simply dont understand China. Just read this, relax, it is from Harvard, not from Xi's wumao army

The fact that you had to link to COINTELPRO is pretty revealing :)

Grasping at straws, no?

Tell that to all the people that got their lives ruined. How is the pay rate going on here?: https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/441480-ins...

I only get paid 50 cents by the yellow menace and I am not a rapper.
