NOTE: Before answering the following questions, read the “Background” below.

2. What event is taking place in China in July?
3. Who is the Communist Party specifically targeting with the app they are launching?
4. For what reason does the Communist Party claim they are asking people to report fellow internet users who criticize the China’s communist leaders or their version of Chinese history?
5. What punishment are people already subjected to for voicing opinions critical of the Communist party leaders…?
6. What response do you think Democratic countries should have toward this latest Big Brother move by Xi Jinping, and the Chinese Communist Party’s mass censorship and absolute control over its 1.4 billion citizens? Explain your answer.
7. The Chinese Communists are attempting to censor “mistaken opinions” - in other words - truth they don’t want anyone to hear.
In the U.S., Twitter, YouTube and other social media sites censor factual news reports that show progressives in a critical light, claiming them to be false - as well as removing/blocking opinions that do not support the progressive narrative on any given subject.
One example, see "Twitter locks out journalist over tweet criticizing marxist BLM founder"
What do you think of American social media’s censorship? (Ask a parent what they think about social media censorship of some conservatives’ viewpoints.)
