And Xi doesn't?
Is there a pedant brigade or something?
That was only two representative examples. Do you actually want me to make an exhaustive list of all of the changes that have happened over time to the Chinese censorship regime?
Did mentions of Tiananmen Square make China uncomfortable before 1989 or did that change? Did mentions of Winnie the Pooh make China uncomfortable before 2017 or did that change?
I'm not sure what point you were trying to make.
You don't think that's exactly where the US is heading?
This is consistent. Anything that makes the racists, fascists, incels, tech bros, and billionaires uncomfortable is blocked.
Anyone who has been using Xitter over the last couple of years has already experienced Chinese style censorship.
By telling them, "No"?
They're petulant toddlers.
It was never on the table. Trump is a serial fraudster and bully. He thinks that committing fraud makes him a shrewd businessman. Bullies belittle and diminish their victims to make them feel helpless. That's what he trying to do to Canada. He thinks that he can treat countries the way that he treats suppliers by unilaterally changing the terms of contracts or simply refusing to pay and making them sue him. He was humiliated by the fact that Canada and Mexico didn't just roll over last time he tried to unilaterally change NAFTA in favour of the US and he's determined to make us pay for that humiliation now.
Canada will once again target red states that form Trump's base with painful tarrifs. Targeted countries need to work together and coordinate their efforts. We have strength in numbers.

That's why all the billionaires are in such a hurry to get to space. Guillotines require gravity.
I had a craving. I made char siu and my wife whipped up some delicious curried noodles.
We make our own green curry paste. The makrut lime leaves, Thai green and red chilis, lemon grass, and chicken are from our back yard.
I liked the contrast between the yellow bedspread and the black cat.
I've got it loaded with 8 flavors.
Vanilla
Smarties (Canadian)
Oreo
York Peppermint Pattie
Aztec Chocolate
Skor Bits
Skor Bar
Milk Chocolate Almond Crunch
I hope the kids (and their sibkings and parents and the other team and the umpire) like it.
This is probably my favorite ice cream shop. It's located on Fairmont Avenue at Gladstone in Ottawa, Ontario CANADA. They make awesome ice cream including a large vegan selection. You can buy it by the scoop in cones or bowls, as ice cream based treats, in pints, or my favorite, in milkshakes.
I had a delicious chocolate milk shake this afternoon and it was absolutely delicious. It's not one of those nasty extruded frozen treat things you get at fast food restaurants. It starts with three scoops of hard ice cream and milk and they mix it right in front of you.
If you're in Ottawa please go by and check them out. They're good people and make great ice cream.
I've been making ice cream. My son's softball team plays in a tournament in a couple of weeks. We have what we call the cake challenge where if they do any one of a number of things (hit the fence, score a home run, get a double play, get a bunt double) I'll make a cake and bring it to the next game. I've done it three times so far this year. I Decided that for the tournament I would make ice cream.
So far I've made:
No Nuts
22 x Vanilla
17 x Aztec Chocolate
12 x Smartie
11 x York Peppermint Pattie
12 x Oreo
Almonds
12 x Milk Chocolate Almond Crunch
24 x Skor Bits
12 x Skor Bar
That's 122 x 125 ml cups.
I hope that's enough.
This is just my standard vanilla ice cream base (500 ml 35% cream, 1 L 10% cream, 300 g sugar, 15 ml vanilla extract) with chopped Oreo cookies. I put 12 cookies in each batch and each batch makes twelve 125 ml cups so each cup has a full cookie in it.

I'm sure your point was very clear in your head but it may not be obvious to you that other people can't read your mind. Suggesting that anyone who doesn't get your opaque point is being obtuse is arrogant and childish.
Do better.
