I've been to China and this is all lies and skill issues.
Chinese cities are much more interesting and much more beautiful than American ones, there's actually some creativity to the architecture. My favorite was Chengdu.
Skill issue, lots of Chinese people speak some English and I got by just fine with a couple years of highschool Chinese and google translate. Many signs and menus, especially in big cities, are bilingual in Chinese and English.
Absolute skill issue, I had zero trouble with the great firewall using a China Unicom SIM in my phone and my usual basic privacy VPN.
Skill issue again, probably related to the language skill issue.
Just lies. I went strolling around various cities with absolutely no control and had a great time, just walked out the front door of the hotel and wandered around. One woman I was traveling with said she felt much safer on a Chinese street at night than an American one. The intercity high speed rail (which is fantastic by the way, super smooth, super fast, super comfortable and the 4g never drops) had much less intrusive control than an American airport.
"I went to another country and they didn't speak my language! There must be something wrong with them!"
I... what?

That first point feels like code for "I couldn't actually find anything bad about the cities, I was hoping there would be lots of trash and homelessness like the US so I could complain about it."

Makes you wonder what the other country is
The Chinese are traumatized because they don’t have billboards advertising burgers, lawyers, and handbags (even though they do)
