why do you always think you know china better than chinese people?please stop expressing your funny idea, no matter how CPC wants to cover something, i am in China, I will know the truth and know it better than you OK?
Okay, at least answer me this: Do you think this story would happen in the US? Both the initial action of the police and the later censorship of social media?
i will never happen in america because Li Wenliang isnt living in america. but this has already happened in america, hasnt it?https://www.theguardian.com/media/2020/jun/05/im-getting-shot-attacks-on-journalists-surge-in-us-protests
Again, those were journalists that were in the middle of protests that had gotten violent. That's just not comparable to this situation:
There was no chaos around that. It was a conscious decision to not just punish someone who had said something that was true, but to deny the truth. All under the power of the police.
someone reported that a “fake" information of new virus was spreading, and police didn't know what exactly happened so they certainly thought Li Wenliang was lying. But what about the 148 journalists?The policemen knew these journalists were just taking photos and videos but they still arrested them
