On Christmas Day, a Chinese reformer was sentenced to 11 years for asking for freedom of speech. Freedom of speech in guaranteed by Article 34 of the Chinese constitution, which reads, "Citizens of the Republic of China enjoy freedom of speech, of the press, of assembly, of association, of procession and of demonstration."
I do not understand why our news media call the people trying to reform China and other countries "dissidents". They are REFORMERS, because they want reform.
