Chinese authorities targetting freedom of speech

The video explores the contrast between China's global image as a defender of free trade and its domestic reality of restricted freedoms under Xi Jinping's leadership. It highlights the government's crackdown on independent think tanks and the stifling of dissent as economic growth slows. Initially seen as a potential reformer, Xi Jinping's tenure has instead seen increased political repression and human rights violations. Despite promises of freedom of speech, China ranks low in press freedom, with civil liberties moving backwards.
