Hello! I would like to start off by apologizing because I know a thread like this gets posted every other day and it can border on (or actually be) concern-trolling, but I wanted to get a rough survey of opinions here on a topic.
Specifically, do you have any criticisms of China's contemporary culture? Its government? What are they?
I'm of the opinion that there are a lot of low-hanging fruit in this regard, like the patriarchal social order that [whatever one might say about its status in other nations] is certainly an ongoing problem for the matter of women's liberation. I also think it's both socially backwards and bad for national security to not have gay marriage, because we're all familiar with how the US loves infiltrating student movements.
I also rather regret how the CPC seems to be trending towards expanding the role of the profit motive rather than shrinking it. See these statements:

Do you agree with these points? Do you have your own criticisms? Am I totally off-base? Let me know!
(btw I'm also familiar with the idea of sharing criticism with comrades but finding public criticism to be counter-productive, but I don't want to spend all day listing caveats)
The CPC isn't deciding these things based on ideology. They are following popular sentiment. Don't start with a question about culture and just seamlessly transition to blaming the CPC
? Garbageshoot said "just give me anything that you can be persuaded to talk about" so I thought this would apply. And I'm not trying to "blame" the CPC, I don't think they're failing the country or anything that drastic, I just think there are alternative pathways that are less risky imo.
I was late in checking up on things but I appreciate what you shared
