Take it easy. It s one way for a group of foreigners, who are probably bad at expressing themselves in english, to express their opinion on an issue on campus. Perfectly legit and in line with democratic ideals. Just because it s not to your taste, doesnt mean it s a problem.

Doesnt protesting against anything inherently implies that one wishes someone to stop doing or saying something?
Or are you saying that no one has the right to request anyone to stop doing or saying anything? Some people dont like what some other people are doing and are registering their wish by ligitimate and non-violent means.
You have deemed that ideologically impure and immoral somehow, because you disgree with their wishes. Noted.
Right. The tough childhood defence. Isnt that the foundation of Chicom's ideology of Socialism with Nationalist Charakteristisch? Slippery slope and all that.
I wish u the best. I think the discussion has reached a deadend. Please do not be offended if I stop responding to this thread.
LOL!!!! Exactly why the original comment was so bad... He somehow drove his argument/statement into a dead end.
It is okay, he is being more "Chinese" then he realizes. In fact "Chinese" = having a bad core argument. See what I did there... I am literally trying not to slap myself in the face.
I am assuming "The author of the original comment" you are referring to is the Change.org's petition author.
If so I am just going to throw your comment back at you; "who has never really experienced what is it like to grow up in an authoritarian environment."
Now replace it with
"who has only ever really experienced what is it like to grow up in an authoritarian environment."
The core issue here is you are judging them with your values and background.
These kids probably grew up as single-child, with no need to really struggle in life. The fact they don't understand what democracy IS, IS totally normal expected. True, the title of that petition was kind of dumb and misinformed, but the action itself, is and what has always been a part of what they should be (what hope for them to be) able to experience.
Your comment paints these kids as failing in values and the school doesn't care since they are just cash...
Hmmm, who would make these kinds of comments? Bigots? Or people out of touch with the reality of 'the reality these kids have to deal with'?
You say you graduated from a US college and is sad, but I wonder if you truly understood what your higher education environment was trying to teach you and if you really understand what the Constitution stands for. The kicker is you throwing these kids out there and marking them is the exact type of hypocrisy that makes communication so hard between the countries.
So don't say "democracy with Chinese characteristics" because hypocrisy is hypocrisy, it has no defined or individualized characteristics, generally speaking. The fact these kids are doing what they are doing is a step forward. They could have just shut up and shut off and done nothing. Maybe that's what you would have done while you were in their position, is that the Chinese side of you or the Democratic side of you?

BTW, the most accurate answer is neither.
