Fang told the newspaper the comments were "dirty abuse" that he endured "as a sacrifice for my country".

The brainwashing is strong with this one.

"Drivers just obey the rules," he said, comparing the firewall to traffic control. "So citizens should just play with what they have."

The problem is trusting the ones who get to decide what they can and cannot play with. Rules of the road are there to protect everyone using them, you're deluded for thinking a government has the protection of it's citizens at heart with such a firewall.
