Lately, my company is sending messages not to talk about China. Yes, you read it right. They are controlling us like a robot not to say issues about this country, such as COVID-19, politics, etc. Even if the students initiate the discussion during the free talk class. Can you believe it? Since I need my teaching online job, I just pretend that I didn't hear it.
Did I lose my freedom to talk?

Duterte signed agreements with the Chinese Government over loans from China.
The Chinese set a " loan trap "
Duterte fell right in
China offers to build and finance infrastructure projects usually in a poor country
China knows the debt wont be paid
But collects the poor countries natural resources or assets, usually strategical.
.
So Duterte cannot afford to take any risks of anybody bad mouthing China.
And this filters down through the system
Ending up with peoole like our friend here put in a very bad position
Think he might agree with me

@piyushbhatia1 I read an article about it. I do not have a low opinion about this idea.

They might have some genuine reason for that. May be some security reasons. When working for someone or some organization, we have to abide by the rules whether we like it or not.

@arunima25 I have been working with them for so many years. That's the reason why I am claiming this.

That is very interesting. I notice on youtube comments that people misspell China to pass the censors. Most often it is Chyna or Ch*na. I think we are losing our freedom to speak. You are not allowed an opinion on Facebook if you are conservative. Even youtube hid stuff about the Coronavirus.

You can substitute the word "China" with "you-know-what" or "the-country-which-must-not-be-named", just like Voldemort in Harry Potter :D LOL
