Well, an english-speaking subreddit will consist mostly of USers, so it may be difficult not to let it become an anti-china circlejerk. Best wishes to mods and to the take off.

R1: Be respectful. No directed offensive language or personal attacks are allowed. Profanity is allowed, but not if it’s directed at others. Racism, sexism, and slurs or similar remarks are not allowed in either English or Chinese, including in usernames.
R2: No bad faith behavior. Bad faith behavior can include combative argumentation or statements intended to disrupt others’ points of view rather than engaging with them, attempts to provoke others into being caustic, making derisive remarks that add little value, or otherwise participating in discussions to the detriment of others. Making extreme unsubstantiated claims or sharing materials that are low in substance but high in outrage may also lead to removal.
R3: Media policy. Memes, images, videos, gifs, and other types of media are allowed but are strictly moderated. Media regarding real life people and events should provide appropriately sourced background context or risk deletion. On a spectrum from daily life musings to cultural commentary to political soapboxing, moderation of media will tighten. Media concerning topics that have already been discussed at length will likely be deleted. See also r/ChinaMemes
R4: Post title policy. Posts with low-effort, editorialized, provocative, inaccurate, sensationalist, or misleading titles will be removed and may result in a ban.

Yeah, I share your feelings towards both r/china and r/sino.
The pandemic certainly didn't help to keep people grounded to reality. The diet of just high level political and economical news was turning people cynical.
To get more Chinese people on the forum, it should be accessible from China.
I'll be traveling to China soon and am curious if latte.isnot.coffee is blocked.
OMG such a new community and already we have one of these bs "can we not have any anti CCP" posts. It was primarily a news site, news is primarily bad....get used to it. The sub of every country is full of bad news posts. The sino sub would seem to suit the OP down to the ground.
There is a China Life subreddit. I don't know what those people want. The CCP is central to life in China. It's not like it's in the background. The surveillance cameras watching you almost always, the hassle for foreigners to get anything done, the ability to send money, the not so long ago COVID lockdowns, the guards on every bridge. It's just pervasive and everywhere.
They're just shills that want to shut down anything anti ccp as always and to try and pass it off as eliminating anything "anti-China" content. They want to create a CGTN/sino sub type environment everywhere where China seems like it's all rose petals and puppy dogs. We used to get this type of dumb post all the time on the China sub, it seems it's already too late for this sub as well. The reality is no matter what country sub you go to it's mostly negative stuff because that is just what news is. Hence the well known phrase "no news is good news".
As for having real mainland Chinese on that China sub, there are already plenty there, apart from the paid shills, even despite it being blocked in China. And if you really want to see a lot of mainlanders check out China IRL which is all in Chinese and has just as much "anti China" stuff as the China sub.
If it's not blocked, and I believe it isn't, it would be if it started to become popular. r/china was mentioned in state media over the years, after all.
This server does work in China, however I would still advise a VPN for anyone coming here from within authoritarian regimes. I've taken precautions and mask IPs in the logs but still....
