The pro-Chinese government post writers are not going to like this news.

They often dredge up Manning, pretending (wildly) that Manning's incarceration behind bars is somehow the same as the Chinese government using its iron fist to oppress free speech by journalists and writers in China who criticize the Chinese government.

And so now with Manning set to go free, the pro-Chinese government post writers lose him as a straw-man.

Who is the Michael Moore and the Noam Chomsky and Bob Woodward and Rachel Maddow of China, loudly spreading harsh criticism of their own government's policies?

Oh, that's right, there are none in China, they have all been jailed or been "disappeared".

In the USA, Manning gets set free, and Moore and Chomsky and Maddow and Woodward are well-read and popular millionaires...
