        I had a history teacher once say that when they visited the PRC they where banned from saying Tianamen Square. All I could think was, “Then how do I say where I want to go to see the flag raising ceremony”

        Also allegedly barred from saying the word “Tibet”

          i hate libs. like seriously, i can guarantee HUNDREDS of millions of people say Tian’anmen square daily. how could the CPC enforce that? arresting like 1/3 of their population for saying the name of a street?

            They’re projecting. They’re imaging the petty things they’d like to ban to control and humiliate their political opponents and then applying that same deranged behavior to people of an entirely different culture.

            In lib world, they would definitely arrest huge swaths of the poeple daily (or at least try to) for frivolous bullshit which is, for some reason, of huge importance to them. The difference is that they think they could actually be effective in doing so and that those primitive Chinese people are just too inherently inept and weak to achieve the desired result.
