不能开玩笑的，中国对一家“侮辱”人民军队的公司罚款200万美元

Beiing fined a Chinese comedy studio around $2 million on Wednesday for a joke that compared China's military to stray dogs

The Beiing Municipal Culture and Tourism Bureau accused a popular comedian, Li Haoshi, who is employed by the studio, of "severely insulting" the People's Liberation Army, China's military, during two live performances in Beiing on Saturday. The authority said his joke had a "vile societal impact". "We won't allow any company or individual to wantonly slander the glorious image of People's Liberation Army," the statement read.

Why same law cannot be passed in India where opposition keeps insulting our army at will. GOI should bring in law to this effect & Freedom of expression shall not apply to security & armed forces.

为什么同样的法律在印度通过不了，印度反对派不断随意侮辱我们的军队。印度政府应将这一条纳入法律，言论自 由，不是让你可以随意侮辱军队的。

Wish we had laws like China. who doesn't even give a sneeze about what western media thinks about him. Whereas Feku cowered away from major reforms fearing a dent to his inage.

希望我们有中国那样的法律。中国才不会在乎西方媒体怎么看呢。莫迪不敢推动重大改革，他望而却步，担心自己的地位会受到削弱。
