> Your opinion doesn't trump universal human rights. Nor should it.

Guess what? You don't have a universal human right to a visa, even if you do have a right to free speech.

> What if the political issues affect you as a visa holder

I'm not a visa holder. I wouldn't expect to be able to go to China and espouse anti-CCP rhetoric, either.

> refusal to acknowledge the UDHR

Visas aren't a human right, try again.



”I'm not a visa holder. I wouldn't expect to be able to go to China and espouse anti-CCP rhetoric, either.”

You don’t expect to do those things in China because it’s an authoritarian government that doesn’t care about human rights A-Z (all the way from basic labor rights over to internment reeducation camps).

So the question is why are you applying a standard we have for China, which is just slightly above what we expect from North Korea, unto to America?

We are not the country that does shit like what you are describing. This is a temporary dark spot on American history, and you are absolutely on the wrong side of things. All of this joins the embarrassing catalog of American darkness - Japanese internment camps, Chinese exclusion act, segregation, list goes on.
