      Yes I’ve been there. China is actually awesome, incredibly friendly people, lots of culture and great work ethic, amazing food. Alas, the other end is much worse: there are no personal freedoms. There’s no internet. There’s an incredible selfishness forced into the psyche of Chinese people by the incredibly unjust opression. All that just makes you wonder how amazing free China would be.

      The conceitedness, thinking your limited anecdotal experience applies to everyone. And negates all criticism. How maga of you.

      It’s hard to learn what it’s really like to live there, because the people aren’t allowed to speak freely about it.

        Naomi Wu tried. Spoke of growing up under the misogynist one child program, being raised as a boy because of it. And the difficulties her Uhyger partner has under the government currently. The government came to her door, and threatened her, her partner etc. Nothing suspicious about that right?

        What makes you say that? I know nothing about what it’s actually like to live in Ecuador, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Mongolia, India, Chad. Should I assume that they aren’t allowed to speak freely in those places too, or is it that English isnt their primary language so there is just less daily life documentation of it?

          Because chinese are literally not allowed on the internet where we all hang. It’s like that weird homeschooled neighbourhood kid that is not allowed to play outside - of course nobody knows them.

            It’s actually the opposite: the outside world is not allowed in for the most part, and I think thats actually a really good thing. Look at how social media has poisoned the rest of the world. There are Chinese nationals here on Lemmy, so it seems fairly one way.

                Lemmy is a social media platform, which has mirrored fascist instances in the past before they were disconnected. Of course it’d be flagged as problematic and against their interests, like any forum that was blocked by the FBI for copyright infringement when most of the posts are not. If you’re asking how there are nationals on here despite the site being blocked, I can’t answer how but they are.

                If it isnt obvious, Lemmy would be blocked because of racists like you on here.

            Please think again about what you said. Anyone can spew any nonsense like this about any country. This kind of propaganda only hurts people, never helps them.

              Censorship in the People’s Republic of China is mandated by the Chinese Communist Party. It is one of the strictest censorship regimes in the world. The government censors content for mainly political reasons, such as curtailing political opposition, and censoring events unfavorable to the CCP, such as the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre, pro-democracy movements in China, the persecution of Uyghurs in China, human rights in Tibet, Falun Gong, pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, and aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
