The part I find strange is a reporter, who lives in a totalitarian country, was able to do an expose. I wonder how he got authorization?



China is not totalitarian. It's a prime example of an authoritarian regime.

Of course, in the end it's all just a spectrum. Totalitarian regimes are just very extreme authoritarian regimes. Modern China, however, is far from being comparable to historic or current totalitarian regimes.


Well I'm still surprised an authoritarian regime, or however anyone would classify China, would allow such an exposé.
