Often throughout Chinese history, decisions have been made due to the fear of a possible political threat due to a false narrative being portrayed by the media. In a similar fashion, media has been restricted in an attempt once again to filter democracy and abolish freedom of speech and press. The legislative institution has implemented these restrictions as an establishment in an attempt to keep the rest of the public, whom are viewed as less powerful, without as much knowledge as they have.

In order to create a healthy society, many citizens just want to be treated as an equal, and so to have the same access to knowledge, media, and free speech, these are the things that define a person. Citizens resent the idea that the government institution disrespects them so much that they are not allowed to stand out as individuals

In many periods of retaliation, instances where government placed maintaining the longterm power over the good of the citizens ignited rebellion. This is because this exchange of resources is an example of institutional oppression because the government views their problems to be of greater importance than the welfare of the hundreds of millions of citizens they swore to protect.

Explicit:
Main Point: Recently in Hong Kong, oppressive, anti-democracy legislature was passed, with the intention of limiting the political freedom of citizens. Denial of freedom of speech is an example of institutional oppression as well, exemplified by authorities arresting and charging advocates for democracy.

Quote: “‘We are disappointed with the way that the government is changing the electoral system, because we can see that the representation of the people from Hong Kong in the Legislative Council or in the institution as a whole is much less than before, so this is not something which is good for Hong Kong,’ Lo told AP”
"It effectively ends China’s only experiment with open elections, a vestige of the democratic system implemented during last years of colonial rule"

Implicit:
I believe the author intends to shed a negative light on the CCP and it's oppressive institutions. They replace words like "patriot" with words like "anti-democracy" while also highlighting the magnitude of this corruption.

Interpretive:
Following examples of institutional, oppressive current events, I can link Chinese oppressive institutions to other common institutions such as lack of freedom of speech, lack of democracy, influencing outcomes of elections, wrongful imprisonment, etc. Because in order to have democracy there must be freedom of speech, imprisonment of protestors might be the most jarring, yet connected to US current events.

Theoretical:
In the cited quote, the interviewee expressed their disappointment in the “greater government institution” in reflection of the lack of voter and citizen representation. This is direct institutionalized oppression because it is in the context of voter suppression by the legislative institution of government.

Applied:
The most predominant I is internalized oppression due to the role of government legislature as an establishment that categorizes itself above the rest of the general population and passes institutions in order to suppress them. Ideological oppression is represented and builds to institutionalized oppression because government feels such superiority to a democratic party, that they turn this ideology into anti-democracy institutions.
