Then tell me (if you can) how China's persecution of these two differs from US persecution of Julian Assange.
And if you have the time, please also consider this observation made by CJ Hopkins after attending a recent conference in Westminster:
The thing that was horrifying about listening to my colleagues reporting on the state of things in their countries — or, rather, the thing that should be horrifying but is becoming a mundane fact of life — is that more or less the same totalitarian program is being rolled out in countries throughout the world. The censorship. The official propaganda. The criminalization of dissent. The pathologization of dissent. The manipulation of our perception of reality. The coordinated transformation of the world into a smiley-faced neo-Orwellian police state in which politics no longer matters because society has been divided into two basic classes, i.e., “the normals,” who are prepared to mindlessly follow orders and parrot whatever official propaganda they are fed, and “the deviants,” or “extremists,” who are not.

Western mythology implies that such things are to be expected in a country like China. Why then do they also occur with nearly identical ferocity in the West? Don't we have a Magna Carta, a Bill of Rights, and similar written "guarantees"?
We seem to be playing out the final scene in Orwell's Animal Farm, and no one cares.
