It's not just China where freedom of expression is difficult to have--it's every country with tons of diverse people. America is the only exception, and it is an exception because of the unique nature of its origin: immigrants come to America with the intention of being "American," whatever that may mean, while India governs over a large subcontinent of Muslims and Hindus--the two corresponding religions are some of the world's most mutually volatile.

So Mr. America, democracy doesn't always work, especially over large regions, so stop pushing it.
