      Dunno about N.Korea, but I live in China and that hasn't happened to me nor any of my friends. Lmao what do westerners think China is? Some people have done worse that criticize Xi (like celebrating the massacre of Chinese during the imperialist Japanese invasion, using horrible slurs, and advocating for more Chinese to get genocided) and their biggest punishment was getting kicked out of university.

        I hardly even know how to find friends without a language barrier, 12,000 miles of ocean, and a nationwide firewall. Where the heck would you suggest I look?

      So a lot of comments suggesting it's not true, if someone would do me the honor of showing me a Chinese publication with an op-ed echoing, for starters, Jack Ma's criticisms of the CCP that is easily searchable?

        Some real westerner thinking right here. When you make a completely outlandish claim, the proof of burden is on YOU, not the people calling out this absurd claim. If you seriously believe that a government that spends less on police than the US, that has a significantly lower prison population than the US, that has a population of 1.4 BILLION, is somehow thought policing every citizen, then I don't know what to tell you (I seriously do not understand how it checks out in your mind that the CCP is somehow so competent and authoritarian that they can somehow spy and control that many people through force).

        If you truly believe your outlandish claims, then feel free to visit some Chinese sites yourself and do your own research and share your findings

        Also as a side note, imagine caring about what bougie billionaire Jack Ma has to say, as if he's somehow a voice for your average Chinese worker
