      I assure you, the Chinese internet is not a picknick, it’s got plenty of its own wackos and weird shit going on. But the party is very quick to shut down stuff that it sees as a potential image problem, but they won’t do shit about a problem until it becomes a significant embracement.

          Listen comrade, you know China isn’t some dreamland full of happy wealthy people, it’s got huge numbers of poor, starving people, young people stricken with cancer, disease, bulldozers, you name it. They’re ran by an uncaring party, who are turning the screws on the population who are rebelling and dying.

          I know you know. And now you know I know you know. Your little pink act is tired.

              Yea that tends to happen in places where you get disappeared if you actually share any discontent.

              Their grip is so embedded that they intimidate Chinese dispora in other countries, and on that basis, what would have to gain by being honest about what dislike about the government and have only hardship if you confront them.

              Yeah, by China, because they’re a totalitarian state that doesn’t allow their people to not like them.

              This isn’t rocket science. You just need to up your understanding level, comrade.

          They take on issues that are problematic for the party’s image, if they’re not problematic for the party they let it thrive. Outside that narrow window, china’s internet is even more of a Skinner box, addiction suck, dystopian corporate hellscape than the English speaking internet.
