Not seeing a whole lot of freedom of speech on the US internet.  Twitter 
censors "nazis" and "racists" and "sexists" and "trolls"

Google and Snopes promote fake news and suppress news and evidence that 
contradicts fake news.

Facebook does both.

On the whole, Chinese overt and official censorship is more free than 
our officially unofficial censorship.  Knowing what you are forbidden to 
say is a breath of fresh air compared to being forbidden to know what 
you are forbidden to say.

Further, Chinese overt and official censorship does not gaslight us with 
a fake consensus the way Google's promotion of fake news and fake 
consensus does.  The Chinese Party tells us that the party view is X, 
and you will agree if you know what is good for you, Google tells us 
that everyone's view is X, and if you disagree you must be ignorant, 
stupid, crazy, and evil.

If you want to beat the officially regulated Chinese internet, need to 
beat it with freedom and truth, not with an officially unofficially 
regulated internet.
