What is it like? What do they think of the west over there?

Is it as eeeevil and authoritarian as the western media says it is?

    a surveillance/police state that censors people and makes people ‘disappear’ if they speak badly of the government.

    Probably does happen to some extent. I'm no expert and I've never heard any personal anecdote or seen anything to suggest it, but stuff like the Causeway Books affair in HK for example makes me think "disappearing" of "free speech/human rights advocates" happens in some cases.

      That's really interesting. It's cool to get insight from someone who has lived there because everything I hear about China is from the perspective of... well, people who have never lived there. Lol.

      Thanks for sharing! 👍
