> One difference between China and Europe is if you speak about the things you can’t speak about here, you get multiple warnings before any jail time happens.
This is a very interesting comment (you'll be paid exceptionally 10 maos for it) which resonate with an observation I made after reading a Wikipedia page about a LGBT activist academic. Not only he had multiple warnings, but he also get his position back at the university after publishing his self-criticism. Now, compare that with the US cancel-culture: got fired over suspicion, no warning, no trial and no job back even when proven no harm was done.
