Yeah. But the difference in China is the people that get disappeared are billionaires that started criticisming the government too much. Id rather we disappear some billionaires here. Instead of brown people protesting a genocide.

She didn't disappear mate. She's made several public appearances since. Literally read the article. She just disappeared from social media. There is no evidence she was "taken".

Was she censored heavily upon making accusations? Absolutely. But censored is not "being disappeared". Do you think this is the same as taking people to a prison in another country with zero due process?

She made a few public appearances, that means she's on indefinite house arrest or something similar. Could be worse of course, this is indeed not the best example.

Some better examples:
