The face when you’re really worried about Chinese freedom of speech.

The United States has shut down my freedom of speech – I’m an American citizen arguing for American interests, and they allowed “private companies” to completely silence me across every platform. They also allowed my finances to be shut down.

It’s something a lot more brutal than the Chinese did by kicking some WSJ journalists out of the country.

Every time the US talks about other countries needing “freedom of speech” they are simply lying on purpose. The US has less freedom of speech than any other country in history. Even in the USSR, they didn’t silence you for insulting gays or women, let alone nonwhites or Jews. That was all encouraged, in fact, in the Soviet Union. This was the CCCP’s own propaganda. So they weren’t going to censor you for saying the same thing.

In China you can keep your bank account, your social media and your websites if you insult Jews, nonwhites, gays or women. China has vastly more freedom of speech than we do. And even if you do insult the government – they might fine you or in an extreme case give you a few months in jail, but when you get out you’re not banned from working or using banks – you’re not even banned from accessing social media!

We have the most brutal censorship regime ever, in all of history.

But they’re going to complain that an op-ed attacking the country of China – who we are basically at war with – is something that the Chinese should tolerate in the name of “free speech”?

This is a sick joke.

At a daily news briefing on Wednesday, a spokesman for China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the credentials would be revoked in retaliation for a headline for an essay that ran in The Journal’s editorial pages earlier this month. The headline read, “China Is the Real Sick Man of Asia.”
