I’m here more refer to the internet censorship.

Eg, they do exist in Australia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_in_Austral...), Japan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_Japan) etc..

Most country have this sort of control, there will be censorship at some level.

Also, China did not ban US companies, but requires all foreign companies abide Chinese laws when operate in China. Apple have setup their data centre in China, iCloud is not banned. Similar story to Bing search, AWS, Azure etc..

China should stop forcing Tibet, Uyghurs, and Hong Kong to adopt their system

It's a different country :) And it has different level tolerance in the freedom.

Try making any speech about a race in the US despite it's correct? US has no such freedom or tolerance right?

True that there are lots anti-Trump material out on the internet, but that's the US culture. The media is a tool for winning an election. One cannot force the other world to adopt the same system US has, right?

The bully really stems of that some do not recognise "one China", which is not the point of view in Beijing. You cannot say it's bully if Taiwan is part of China.

If you have doubt, search "1992 Consensus".
