Chinese media have been warned against using the term "civil society"

The Chinese Communist Party is very worried that "the masses" will start to realize that they are in fact citizens of China with entitlement to protection of universal human rights.  People yearn to be free from unelected imposed arbitrary authority.  The powerful idea of a society of citizens threatens the future of the current privileged authoritarian elite in China.
