thank you for your kind and intelligent words.
you know what,most of us are like you while some of us are also rude and unkind.haha,I'm familiar with that in our forum ,so I dont really mind what I see here and I can understand it.
For the girl you mentioned ,I dont think she is in dangerous,haha,unless she broke some law.With speaking something,it's not a serious guilt nowadays.
In the forum I mentioned before and more others,you can find tons of threads complaining the Chinese gov. and dark side of society,all posted by common folks.We do have freedom of speech,unless you are too radical even to make chaos and hurt society safety.
We do have difference in culture and ideology.But we are all humanbeings.We can communicate with no bias if we really want.

“We can communicate with no bias if we really want.”

Sorry...that’s just no possible. Every one of us has a bias. The word itself is not negative because the biases could be situated in geography, culture, ideology, beliefs, or linguistic (among others). There are some absolute truths but most human communication involves a bias of some kind.

That doesn’t mean, we cannot agree or communicate effectively. It only means that “unbiased” (or one way) communication is possible only in a totalitarian setting (like Saudi Arabia among others).
