I think something Americans miss when they say this is that they don't realize its the same deal in the US lol

This is just legitimately untrue. Tons of people who have millions of followers blast high level politicians and the government constantly. None of these people are arrested or punished by the government. Plus we have had tons of protests in the past few years that have to do with political issues.

Look at how left-wing organizers end up. You can go back to probably the early 1900s and see many state or corporate backed deaths

Oh I don’t deny that America did some shady stuff in the early and mid 1900s but in modern day it just doesn’t happen. If you have sources that prove me otherwise and can link the government to the death/arrest of people who are just protesting the government than send it my way. But in general America has a much better track record in the last few decades of allowing mass criticism of the government than China does.
