I'm talking to my very neoliberal friend and I'm basically praising China and saying I'd want to move there and she's all "But they censor all the internet!" and I'm honestly at a loss because I don't know enough about their internet situation to have any strong arguments. Is the internet heavily censored in China? Is using VPN not allowed? What's up with their whole internet vibe?

    Im currently in China right now, visiting for a month just doing normal tourism. I use a vpn no problem, it just makes the internet pretty slow. I dont know if I could live here though, as much I love Xi and communism, it's hard to be vegan and food is one of my main things.

      Yunnan is very easy to be vegan in! The guy who put in the work to get me to go vegan there for a year + change and said it was the best place he’s lived in to be vegan (comparing to America, Morocco, Spain, and Greece).

      It’s all about the mushroom dishes, apparently there is a regional hotpot (vegan) that has mild psychoactive properties even.
