Weather the Chinese government exerts any control over speech about tiannamen is immaterial to the false, sinophobic claim that Chinese people can’t talk about it.
Responding to me like a significant other after a whole conversation filled with every kind of manipulation and misdirection imaginable probably isn’t the flex you think it is.
You said you wouldn’t accept Chinese people speaking in their own words about tiannamen as proof that Chinese people can talk about tiannamen and subsequently claimed that you were no more (at the very least) chauvinist for this than anyone else.
I can think of no clearer example of bad faith action than your own behavior, especially weighed against my own feather of refusing to get bogged down in big walls of text which manipulate and change my own words to support yours.
If you want to talk about government repression of speech then do so. I asked some questions, you can respond to them.
Why would I bother answering any of your questions after you spent days ignoring mine? Why should I bother building an argument when you never presented a coherent one yourself?
You made a claim you refused to support and ignored analogies for, you shifted the goalpost to something entirely different, and now you claim to want a good faith discussion. You never did. You wanted to make your ridiculous claim about government criticism being somehow racist because you have to find some way to support an authoritarian government you like because the sole party with power is using communist in their name. You don’t have a consistent world view and just want to find a way to excuse the unexcusable actions of a tyrannical government you wouldn’t hesitate to call out of the were in the west.
You don’t have any high grounds in this conversation.
I never shifted the goalposts. They have always been “saying Chinese people can’t talk about tiannamen is sinophobic and false”. After I explained in detail how that claim is sinophobic you asked for proof that it’s false and I asked to confirm that Chinese people speaking in their own words about tiannamen would constitute proof in your eyes and you said not unless it also refutes your claim that the Chinese government is authoritarian and controls speech.
I never said government criticism was racist. I said claiming Chinese people can’t talk about tiannamen is sinophobic.
You introduced the requirement that we incorporate a stance on the Chinese governments authoritarian and/or tyrannical nature into this discussion and it was you who mischaracterized my position as saying that any criticism of government is racist, which I directly refuted earlier in our discussion.
Since you’re talking about it, how is the Chinese government authoritarian?
You don’t need to pretend.

No, you hang up first. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
If you want to go, go.
No, it’s cuter if you hang up first babe.

Trying to act like you’re suddenly good faith when you’ve been acting the way you have is probably not the flex you think it is either.
