I have actually lived in China and can confirm that it is extremely unfree.

I went to a good school in Beijing, and after arriving in the US, I realized they were teaching us basically propaganda in our Chinese, History, and Poli Sci classes. They even managed to sneak propaganda into our chemistry class, it’s nuts!

I agree that there's much propaganda in the textbook, but how was it related to "extremely unfree"?

Could you please give us examples of propaganda in chemistry (or any other hard science) class?
