Online rants about a Chinese student’s comments about the US and an actress’ dress are not worth paying attention to: don’t give them the oxygen of publicity
Free speech is first and foremost among all human rights first, without it there can be no other human rights. Free speech is a universal right, and attempts to stifle the voices of the people are aimed solely at creating a monolithic society with only one opinion. China’s people should call for comprehensive constitutional reform to guarantee media openness and prevent the government oligopoly from monopolizing the media, the internet and all other channels of speech. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
