China touchy ? Think you need to look at all Govts as they are touchy.
I think you missed my point, that the decision to censor 'hate speech', however that may be defined, puts all speech within range of the government censor.
Once that is the norm, China will be well within her rights to request/require comments seen as harmful to China to be suppressed.
Of course, your point that all governments are just aching to apply similar strictures is quite correct. Freedom has no friends in Whitehall or in Congress or any government.
