All news media run by the Party must work to speak for the Party’s will and its propositions and protect the Party’s authority and unity
They should enhance their awareness to align their ideology, political thinking and deeds to those of the CPC Central Committee and help fashion the Party’s theories and policies into conscious action by the general public while providing spiritual enrichment to the people
So it’s now censorship of freedom of expression if the state is not actively sponsoring, advertising, and distributing criticism of itself? I should try writing to NPR about how we need a proletarian party controlling the government so I can say that they’ve “censored” me when they obviously don’t invite me on to talk about it.
Yes I do, and the fact that Chinese system has shown itself to be flexible and adaptable is proof of that. A system can only evolve effectively when it can be criticized in a way that lead to action. That’s how change happens. Western systems are the ones where effective free expression is forbidden, and that’s why they’ve ossified and the ruling class no longer even pretends to care about public opinion.
Than that’s a different freedom than freedom of expression.
Do you think Chinese media outlets are able to effectively criticize the government?
Literally yes read Chinese papers. Comradely criticism is like Marxism 101
