I have friends (from Beijing) that have come here to study and have gotten jobs and stayed. But I sense a reluctance from them to speak out, because they still have family in China.

I can understand their fear. Teach them this. When you act as one individual or one among a hundred, you are a criminal. The government can lock you up. When you are one of a million, or even a billion, the government becomes the criminal. You can hunt them down. Who is fearing who? The number makes a lot of difference.
