Can you freely criticize the government in China? Is the press in China free and independent? Do the Chinese people have free and open access to the Internet? Are you allowed to protest the government in China?
No, no, no and no. Sounds like it fits the definition of an authoritarian government, despite what said government "officially" says they are.
I agree the US should stay out of it, but both things can in fact be true.
Yes, you're encouraged to. As much as anywhere else, this is something they could work more on after the fall of the US and EU. To which internet? Yes, yes you are, non violently.
Also nothing you stated is necessary for an authoritarian government, nor are any of the things you listed exclusive to them. The US doesn't have a free press or open access to the Internet, for example.
Why don’t you tell us about what happened on June 4th, 1989?
