  • I think you didn’t read the whole comment. My point was that a one party system can’t be called a free democracy. While eight other minor parties exist in China, they must

    accept the “leading role” of the CCP as a condition of their continued existence

    Free democracy is when anybody can make a political party and they have an equal change of winning or losing, ie no ‘special privileges’ like the CCP has.

    Look I know we like to simp for China here on hexbear, but we shouldn’t blatantly ignore it’s flaws. Anyway hope this answered atleast some of your questions. Peace ✌️

    It is in the article.

    I read both articles and nowhere does it say “stating that you are poly on social media” is banned. Pretty generic stuff. See for yourself. From the article -

    Likewise, people should not post any text, audio, video or picture that spreads hatred against any gender, community, caste, religion, profession, or people from any particular group.

    Also banned are actions like distorting a picture, taking photos of private affairs and publishing them without permission.

    Similarly, posting vulgar words, pictures, videos, audios, animations, contents promoting paedophilia, sexual exploitation, prostitution, use and trade of narcotic substances, gambling, spreading fake news, distorted information, cyber bullying and terrorism-related contents are prohibited.

    Don’t get me wrong, I think that “posting vulgar words” is purposefully vague and is most likely intended to be a catch all, but that’s not the point. The point is this is not some “overarching censorship” like you make it out to be. Most platforms and governments have policies similar to this. Unless… you have specific examples of Nepal banning people for being “poly on social media”.

    In other news, Nepal fares better than Qatar, Greece, Singapore and the UAE according to the World Press Freedom Index.
