China: Twitter ‘Ruthlessly Deprived’ Trump of Freedom of Speech

Frances Martel 11 Jan 2021

China’s state-run Global Times declared in an article Sunday that President Donald Trump’s permanent removal from the social media outlet Twitter was proof “freedom of speech does have political and ethical boundaries” in its “true essence.”

The outlet, often one of the most belligerent Chinese government vehicles in English, asserted Twitter had “ruthlessly deprived” Trump of his freedom of speech, but concluded this was compatible with the true meaning of freedom of expression. The Times conceded the censure was an aberration from the Western, presumably illegitimate interpretation of the phrase — typically meant to mean that individuals have the right to express themselves however they want.

The Chinese Communist Party does not allow its citizens to use Twitter or other Western social media outlets such as Facebook. The only options available to Chinese citizens are Chinese social media apps such as Weibo, WeChat, and Baidu, all of which are heavily regulated by the Communist Party. The Party does not allow opinions that differ from those of the government on its social media applications and regularly takes legal action against individuals considered to be engaging in speech that may harm the Party, including non-political speech.

China is covering its tracks. China owns major shares of Twitter, Facebook, Google, and most other tech companies.

The de-platforming of Trump is being done with the approval, if not at the orders of, China.

China is posturing.  Looks like they've hired some pretty sophisticated PR firms to give advice.

China would love to have the control that Twitter has.  Now some flunky in Beijing will be able to cancel your account.

More likely they are jealous of not having that absolute control over their enemies
