I bet if the kind of things happening in the US happened in China, I wouldn’t be able to stop hearing about it. I mean, people are still criticizing the Tiananmen Square massacre, and hasn’t anything happened since then? It’s like still making conspiracy theories about Kennedy’s assassination or 9/11, those are old news.

    The Chinese internet is consored. And there is a language barrier. So you’re generally not going to read a blog post or independent article 99% of the time someone gets beaten or killed there.

    Also it’s not focus or even within our perspective. And something not many people are interested in…

    And thirdly, the US media and citizens perspective generally doesn’t extend beyond their borders. When have you heard of police brutality in ANY other countries than the USA? Or whats bothering people in other countries?
