In under a month, three men have been convicted and jailed for between nine and 10 years each.

Their crime? Writing articles that criticise China's political system and the Communist Party that sits at the apex of power. One more writer awaits trial.


I like this part: "... the prosecutors claimed his words demonstrated "anti-government thoughts" and it should be presumed he would take part in "anti-government actions"."

While I agree that it isn't just establishment Democrats, you have to admit the history whereby they definitely have a very big authoritarian streak.


And no I am not making my case on this short example, there are much better ones to make it on. This one just serves it up in very contemporary terms.
