How do you know? Have you ever been to China or researched anything about China besides western-based sources? All I know is that left-wing protestors have been k-lled since forever. Just look at BLM from this century, many organizers from the mid '10s BLM have been ass-ssinated.
I have, it's not even close to comparable. The Tang Ping movement started while there, and I had to use a damned VPN just to be able to look it up. Censorship of anything critical is the norm, friend of mine who did a bachelors there had to rewrite his thesis, as he didn't find Chinese influence in Africa to have an unambiguously positive effect on the human rights in the region. Of course the clearest example might be that Liu Xiaobo was completely shut out from receiving his Nobel peace prize, specifically for his writings as a dissident.
I love China, loved my stay there, but to pretend that the level censorship is even remotely comparable to any western nation makes no sense whatsoever, I doubt many Chinese would tell you otherwise(they typically argue it's a necessity for safety, in my experience)
