Freedom of speech is actually an illusion, even in western countries championing the right to free speech. As a Chinese citizen, I know better than most what it is like to feel censored and afraid to express what I really think. This fact alone can make people realise how powerful a censorship resistant platform like Steemit really is, and why it is needed.

Very well said my friend. I value your opinion because you have experienced censorship first hand unlike many of us. As I have mentioned in my blog, having freedom of speech and using it wisely are rather rare. You are absolutely correct about the great need of a decentralized platform that Steemit fulfills. I am lucky to have you as a friend and that has happened only because of Steemit.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your thoughtful input. Thanks my friend.
