Hi there, Chinese here. Perhaps you would be interested in learning about East Turkestan, or as we like to call it "XinJiang", or perhaps South Mongolia, or "Inner Mongolia".

Calling us out on Tibet is nice and all, but it does get so very boring.

If you are a CCP employee, please contact me to give me my 5角, cheers!

What about the attempts to alter political discourse in Hong Kong, such as the Umbrella Revolution. How about their reaction to 零八宪章 (Charter 08)? Are those things we can criticize China on?

What would be a nice search term to learn about it? Because I can't relate them all with China without having to read a lot.

Westerners like you is why we support our government.

I guess China's folks would be a hell of a control group for Stockholm syndrome. I can't really think of any reason in the rational realm why would somebody in their sane minds would support a government that doesn't even let you Google... [..]

As a matter of fact, people who can see your comment certainly would not support a government that do not let them use Google. But this group of Chinese people are tiny.

I guess at least 90% of Chinese citizens do not know Google.

So the problem is not that Chinese citizens like totalitarianism, the problem is that they do not see it as totalitarianism, or even think it's truly democratic. Like many people here believe that Trump is for the people and will be serving them faithfully (I am not saying that Trump will not do that, I am saying that it should not be taken as a thing that will happen for sure), which has to be the case if people can put Trump in check and hold him accountable.

But I don't know how to educate 1.3 billion people...

I can buy your comment for Chinese < 30 years old because they don't know anything better. But what about middle-aged Chinese? Don't they know the difference?

I don't know China history, but have they never lived in a democratic fashion at least in the last 50-60 years?

The communist revolution in China was in 1945 so...no, they have not.
