      Discussion of any Chinese politics is prohibited, pro CCP or not. So yeah I think this will get you banned pretty quick. I have seen other international politics discussed though.

      Insta-ban. But at least you can criticize the US government on there. I don’t think that will continue to be a thing on major US social networks in the coming years.

        Old Soviet-Era joke. An American and a Russian meet in Berlin for drinks. The American says to the Russian, “Don’t you ever long for freedom of speech in your country? Why, back home, I can go on the telephone or radio and say all sorts of bad things about our President Ronald Reagan. Nobody stops me.”

        The Russian takes a sip, shrugs, and replies, “Comrade, I don’t understand the problem. In the USSR, I can go on the telephone or radio and say all sorts of bad things about your President Ronald Reagan, too.”

          Reminds me of the Jewish guy who wanted to move from USSR to Israel. They asked him:

          “Why do you want to leave? You don’t like the people here?”

          “I can’t complain.”

          “Or is it your job?”

          “I can’t complain.”

          “Perhaps you don’t like the politics here?”

          “I definitely can’t complain about that.”

          “So why leave?”

          “Because there I will be able to complain.”

              Over 10% of the entire nation of Israel was out in the streets demanding Bibi’s resignation in 7/23 with no reprisals for anyone. Im willing to bet you can criticize Israel in Israel.

      They are thoroughly compelled by the government there to remove any anti-government sentiment and ban the accounts. But before you judge, that’s going to be the next target in the US once facebook and twitter finish canceling “woke” and promoting whatever flavor of nazi-ism they’re in the middle of promoting.
