You are allowed to write that in the Western world. Some people in USA and other countries live good lives by writing conspiracy theories about their own countries.

Try to do something similar in China or a similar autocratic state. It might be a problem to write that in Russia today, too. :-(

And hopefully, China will change. I've seen arguments that to get beyond a certain GNP/Capita, countries have to democratize (unless they have lots of oil, of course).

(What scares me, is the possibility with AI and language understanding -- to have a 1984 control state with a working free economy; future history as a foot trampling a face...)
