Amazing how sympathetic the article is towards censorship and oppression.

China isn't much different from Nazi Germany. Amazing how much American leftists love their oppressive government. They make excuses for them. They work with them and help them oppress Chinese citizens. It reminds me of the companies who made the gas used in the Nazi deathcamps.
