In China you can also see people call Xi Jinping a pig head, but in a normal context, I wouldn't say "China calls Xi Jinping a pig head".
Okay.

It is not reserved to those meglomaniacal tyrants that lead the CCP to determine what is acceptable to say and what is not. If they think that it is up to them, then they are as arrogant as they are insecure, self-absorbed and deceitful.

In China the public media never attacks anyone personally.
Many of Trumps' speeches, even excluding his comments on China, would be banned from TV channels because of inappropriate words.

That is a lie. Here is an article from the China Daily, posted for 7/15/2020, attacking Secretary Pompeo.

Pompeo Lies, cheats and steals

Not only does the Chinese media aggressively attack people personally, they do it every day.

What I mean by "personal attack" is something like "pig head".
If I say you lie, cheat and steal, I will not be banned here either, because it is not considered PA.

Here is a news source on the virus worth watching. Remember CCP influenced US mainstream media can not be trusted.

I won't if I were you.

Slander
Slander is a spoken false statement about you. If a false statement is made about you by an individual, or a radio, television, or podcast announcer, the statement may be slanderous.

If you posted on your facebook page "so and so is a thief" it turned out to be a false statement. That person can sue you for Slander

The World Health Organization, which always does China's bidding, invented the name Covid-19 when China asked them to come up with something that didn't sound like the virus came from China. Naturally, WHO agreed to help them lie and pretend.

"China Flu" and "Kung Flu" are the response of people who would rather tell the truth about it.

Sure, but they have it under control....and now it became America's problem under President Trump's leadership. He owns it, so now it's the Trump Virus.
