Again, what are the recent policy impacts of this "free speech"?

I can point to a very clear example of Chinese protests netting real, tangible policy change at the national level: Chinese protests took down Zero COVID policy. This is recent, large-scale, national, and resulted in a real and tangible change in government policy.

What can you point to in the US over that same time frame? I guess the march on Washington in support of Israel's genocide?

Again, you conveniently skirting around the point and I'm not going to continue discussing with someone not arguing in good faith.
