Censorship and propaganda are different
What a weird comment to make
Both are tools to control the narrative.
But you can just talk about censorship in America
There different forms of censorship. Flooding the dominant platforms with the official message to obscure opposition opinions, shadowbanning posts, etc are softer forms of censorship but are still censorship. The rulership class is fine with people voicing their opinions if they feel it doesn't threaten their power. They will crack down harder when that feeling changes.
America has both, so wtf you on about?
And so does China? Both are bad, it doesn't have to be either or.
Exactly, so reply to the ones acting like America doesnt, not me
