Here is an interesting postcard on free speech in China. This anti-establishment card was probably drawn in the Mao's period (his portrait is in the background) when censorship was at its height.
In fairness, in modern China, there is less curb on free expression of the people and the authorities have adopted a more relaxed attitude in some issues.
This postcard came from Vicky (11 March 2015) Postcrossing.
Postcards I have received from 2013 to 2018 primarily through Postcrossing and Swap-bot although there are some postcards here that are from other sources.
