I’ve often heard that China is authoritarian, particularly due to events like the suppression of student protests in Hong Kong. However, I’m curious about more recent examples.

What specific examples do you have that demonstrate whether these countries are authoritarian or not?
Didn’t protesters in UK also get arrested recently? It was about 8 of them if I recall correctly.
