      Are you calling Chinese police similar to Nazis….? I’ve never had a bad interaction with one and they’re certainly not fascists

        That’s a fairly complex topic. The big take away is that the Chinese government isn’t exactly loved by a lot of people.

          It’s a joke. Look at the username.

          Edit: saw the reply, doesn’t look like a joke now

          A lot of westerners, sure. The vast majority of Chinese would disagree since they’re 1-2 generations away from poverty. Depending on the city most grandparents have zero education, parent may have gone to middle school, then current gen has shot for the stars. Chinese government can be unfair, but no one can argue they didn’t make everyone’s lives materially better

            Yes, I’m sure the Uyghurs and political dissidents agree wholeheartedly with you.

        Presumably you’ve never disagreed with the CCP in a public way.

          Not to just play whataboutism but wearing masks to protests against a genociding nation just got banned in some states of the land of the free. Sadly, not being allowed to criticize is on the rise everywhere…

          There are many ways of allowed criticism of the CCP. A certain degree of self censorship is applied no matter where one lives. But yes that is certainly one large negative of Chinese political rule!

        Because you’re just a white American troll who likes to pretend they’re from the East.

        Judging by our interaction on another thread where you tried to explain Chinese culture to an ethnically Chinese person… And then accuse them of not being Chinese enough because they live in America… I’m guessing you aren’t exactly an expert.

        Brave of you to delete all those after I called you out.

          Found the liberal who can’t read history…

          Edit: What’s with so much toxicity. This should be left at reddit… You reply with history and get cursed at.
