You know how sometimes you're bored and wanna f around in your playthrough and choose the wacky dialogue option to see what would happen? I have to try not to do that.

I'm so jealous you were there and can speak the language! I'm having a hard time. :')

I heard that the re-education camps are actually high quality spaces with classes that explain Chinese culture in a positive way, should they want to fit in but people can practice their own customs too. they just want them to adopt something, anything. I'm trying to word that carefully. I can't remember the name of my source right now, I'd have to check later. So yeah but if you put it that way, it doesn't sound so bad. You can judge it but it's not harmful if that's the case. Regardless, I'm skeptical because of how convincing certain other sources are too. Yeah it sucks how racist the country can be.

What an idiot. Tons of rich people know that social security is a riot tax (it's not but that's how they see it).

Actually no, as far as I'm aware of. I'm really into global econ stats and none come close to China, it's really remarkable.That's what caused me to research it more. Sorry if my comment sounded butthurt.

Would you ever believe it if it wasn't a police state dystopia? I wouldn't feel this way if I believed it was. Have you gone out of your way to do extensive research on the politics, history and quality of life in China over the course of months or years and looked for multiple sources from multiple parts of the world? Or have you just read/watched the news and had history class? Maybe found a book in a library one time? You don't need to question whether I love dystopias. Do question if I know or at least think I know what you know.

I knew this was gonna get dislikes. Have you seen their infrastructure? Their technology? Their scientific advancements, Their social security, their political involvement as citizens...
I'm not saying I'm pro-China period, just comparing them to other countries. The ccp did a lot of things wrong and I'm against that. I'm also not a black and white thinker.

Too far. In my country they complain about environmental policies ruining the economy, foreigners and pro immigrant policy damaging the country, housing prices and making sarcastic jokes about our politicians to feel better about themselves. Edit: and declining social services.

Also, imo most Europeans at least the people around me and on socials don't feel connected to what's happening between Ukraine and Putin at all. Unfortunately if nothing is happening in their backyard, it's just another news report.

Oh right... That's horrible. If that's the case then when election time rolls around I can see protests happening. I hope so anyway.

I think most people there who are against this are just too tired to care at this point and are saving their energy for the next election. I don't know if I agree with this sentiment. On one hand there isn't much you can do to change anything but on the other hand, speaking up and protesting will set the stage for the next election. But hey idk I'm not even American but I'm in the EU and they are basically copying them, along with the G7
