| > You have to work 9-9-6. Which is why many citizens are lying flat (not working/pursuing marriage) None of the government/public workers are working that schedule. Or someone who finds a job in the private companies who aren't insane. > You are constantly subjugated to random mass covid testing, standing hours outside in the cold. Speaking from anecdotal experience, my parent has been subjugated to none in 2021 because they were not living in an affected location. Mass covid testing are only carried out where there are outbreaks. > You are constantly watched, monitored, "invited" to police station for tea, banned for posts that contain any words that are on the growing banned list Might apply to your personal case? I don't know even one person who are constantly invited to police station for tea, despite having hundreds of friends in China. > You cannot watch Spiderman, BTS, squid game, porn and many many more things legally Except that everyone does, and I'm not aware of any prosecutions. Also, Spiderman, BTS, squid game does not even touch laws, they just haven't been screened in cinemas, you can still get them from different sources (which often means piracy in China). > Oh and there's the yearly flood + shoddy buildings + crashing economy + crashing real estate + aging workforce + factory jobs leaving + dictatorship We'll see then. The rhetoric have been around for decades. Some of what you said is true to a degree, but you are painting it in a very biased fashion. China has a lot of flaws, but what you said certainly does not apply to an 'average' Chinese citizen. In fact, all of these combined are almost impossible to happen to a single Chinese citizen, average or not. |
