  People criticize, institutions are censored. Protests also do happen infrequently. China is a pretty stable country overall because the system actually works.

    People can openly protest the party in control in a city center? They can openly access the world wide internet?

      Yes, and yes. VPNs are accessible. Institutions trying to foment regime change are cracked down, simple protest is not generally.

        So the internet is openly accrssible… as long as you circumvent government authority? That doesn’t sound like “openly”.
