But I can hate on Obama and the democratic party and the Chinese can&#x27;t do the same against the Communist party.<p>Functionally I don&#x27;t know how being able to criticize the government actually changes anything. In terms of corruption or abuse, the Chinese government is more than happy to listen.<p>It&#x27;s just when you starting hating on the only party that is allowed to exist that they have a problem with you for the potential of causing social unrest.<p>How much functional difference that makes in my opinion is not much.
