Simply because you think they are true. Believing something is true does not mean you are willing to have nothing to eat because of saying it.
I am very much against the Chinese government, and I would gladly see it gone. However, I do not travel to China to tell that to the government officials over there, simply because I value my life.
Now, another example:
Imagine you lived in a town which was run by the mafia, and anyone who spoke out against them would get into big-ass trouble. Would it then be wrong to write an anonymous letter to the local newspaper criticizing the situation?
Placing value on other things besides your opinion does not mean you are a coward, imo.
