    Haha the “grass is always less green on the other side” thing is spot on. That’s the most common way the government conditions their people in east Asia. Even Japan is guilty of it. (lived there for 16 years) I never knew how bad we had it until I moved to the US. Everyone is like “we’re missing out on personal freedoms? oh well, it can’t be as bad as outside of Japan” and no one even dares to do anything about it.

    I lived in China from 2010 to 2016, lived in Guangzhou for one year, Shanghai for 5, and traveled all over the country. As a foreigner living there, I only felt I was living in an authoritarian state when I used the internet. People in society are out and about, unafraid, dining, partying, having fun, shopping shopping shopping... it's capitalism on steroids. When I tried to talk to Chinese people about the government, they never seemed afraid to talk, it just didn't interest them. They reminded me of American teenagers-- talking about friends, dating, their social media, pop culture, but no interest in politics. I met people who had lived abroad, and while there, they never bothered to learn about the Tiananmen Square Massacre. It's like they didn't want to know because the truth would be ugly. And they are believers in Tibet and Taiwan being a part of China. They tow the line whole-heartedly.
    I loved my China experience, but the internet really was a nightmare. Even unblocked websites would take forever to load. I'd have to click "play" on a 10 minute video and wait 30 minutes for it to load so that it would play with only a few interruptions. Every so often, my VPN would stop working. This especially happened during sensitive anniversaries and when there'd be an international summit. I never knew when I'd be able to use fast and uncensored internet. When I'd visit Hong Kong or Taiwan, it was heavenly. It was like... China with fast, uncensored internet. I literally went to Hong Kong once just for a vacation from the firewall.
    And yes, WeChat.... it was so weird when I moved back to the USA and WeChat was no longer necessary. That app is EVERYTHING in China. You can't function without it. Digital life in the USA suddenly seemed so complicated, having to use so many apps to do different things, when in China, I only needed one. Americans don't even know what WeChat is. That is still bizarre for me.

    Regarding the talking animal ban, that one isn't true. Ever heard of Journey to the West? You may know it as Monkey King, but it's China's most famous tale. A tale that features...talking creatures. For the 2008 Summer Olympics, when the mascots were revealed, the Chinese government released cartoons showcasing them where they talked. The mascots, known as the Fuwa, represent, you guessed it...different creatures from China. Kung Fu Panda is also insanely popular in China. The book Alice in Wonderland was banned in one province for putting talking animals at the same level as humans, but that was back in 1931, so before the PRC was a thing.
    "Winnie the Pooh is NOT banned in China" and while Disney World has the Hall of Presidents showcasing an animatronic of every president in US history up until the current, Shanghai Disneyland's Hall of Presidents is.... *The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh* (yes, this ride is at the park). Funny thing you mention Avatar in China, in 2019 Endgame took the title of highest grossing movie of all time from Avatar. However in 2021, Avatar was able to re-claim its title because it was re-released in China. Though it's just Disney...beating Disney. The embodiment of the Obama awarding Obama meme

    I had a chance to talk to a TV producer from Japan a few years back. Because of the fact that TV is slowly dying as an entertainment in a traditional sense, one of the ways producing companies in Japan, and I would guess other (East) Asian countries, earn money is by selling IP's and rights to Chinese production companies which then create their own versions of films and series. Guess that's a way of making sure not much foreign stuff comes in.

    Another claim that is very wrong is that China doesn't have a social credit system. Yes it absolutely has it. It just hasn't been rolled out in all of China and only about 40% of the Chinese population (Still more than a half billion people) live under some level of the social credit system. It's been active in all big first tier cities and while the rule and point system is different based on local government tuning it's usually a system where everyone scores a 1000 points that can go up to 1400 for good behavior and down to 600 points for bad behavior. I personally had a score of 1138 at the time of leaving China in the city of Shenzhen.

The wall is not just exist on internet, but in people’s mind, a group of people what we call them “little pinks” would trust everything that their government told them, what ever it is crazy or not. When you trying to tell them the truth, they will refuse to believe and abuse you, judging you and call you traitor, they refuse everything that is different than their education, they are crazy, madness(they will celebrate the US has over 100k people died in Covid-19 plague) . sometime it is so hard to believe we are same species, we live in the same planet, it is so hard for me to tell other guy I come from china.(forgive my broken English, I’m still learning it)

    I am Chinese, and the banned website has no impact on our lives. Because banned websites can find alternatives in China (in addition to pornography, we can also connect to VPNs privately, although this is not legal, as long as we don't use it to do illegal things, the cyber police don't care). It is not legal for us to build a VPN without permission, but a gaming VPN is legal in China, for example, Call of Duty is banned in China, so you can use a game VPN to enter the game (accelerate the specified IP) Of course this is legal in China, it is completely legal to play banned games in China, and there are also many people in China who use Steam, Epic, Xbox, Play Station, Switch..., (but game consoles we generally use Japan, Hong Kong or the United States, because China will ban the store, limited to the host, there is no ban on the website in China)We use the Internet, but we ban some websites (RUclips, tiktok...and some porn sites) So the Chinese network is the same as the world, except that there are firewalls

The global and guild chats are disabled too, and in food fantasy at least, the mail notifications only show the rewards to claim, no text. On some obscure chinese rpg games, they completely disable the friend and private chat system as well as everything mentioned above, probably because they're from small companies and one June 4th language transgression could get their games removed from downloads.

      Read up on the Falun gong cult, they are another faction fighting for power in China. They have aligned themselves with the CIA and they ain't saints. The Tienanmen Square event in China is taught as when the Falun gong cult started an insurrection. You can argue whether or not the Falun gong are the lesser evil, however, labeling the Tienanmen Square event as an outright massacre on innocent students is a bit disingenuous given the massive effort by Western intelligence agencies involvement during the day. Go watch the full uncut video of the Tank Man, he walked away fine here in the States he would have been shot for even approaching law enforcement, or go read BBC's original account of the events and you'll notice the BBC reporters stating the difficulties the Chinese military had as they were constantly being surrounded due to the lack of arms available for them. Overall the event isn't as black and white as our Federally-approved papers ( US Operation: Mocking Bird) tells us.

    Also - an interesting fact - when I lived in China and attended an international school, we were allowed by the govt to use a campus wide VPN (it’s not uncommon to have a VPN built into the Wi-Fi, in fact you can buy routers like that at mainstream tech stores in major cities; though you can’t hide things like that as a large organization like a school), and generally they turned a blind eye with a few exceptions. We were always told to NEVER use school Wi-Fi to search for “the 3 Ts”: Taiwan, Tibet, tianamen. Apparently it would literally shut down our internet schoolwide lol.

    • @paprikat.6479

      Yes but however most English they taught at school is just basic grammar and how to translate Chinese text into English. They never really teach you how to communicate with a native English speaker or how to read an essay written by actual English speaker. That is the reason why most Chinese people do not have the ability to read the texts written by English speaker.

      It is mandatory to learn some of it, but I'm currently studying abroad and let me tell you: no one speaks English. Heck, I live in a student's apartment meant specifically for foreign students and even there the receptionists don't speak English. I had to struggle through the registration process in broken Chinese because their English was worse. The only places where I found people who could speak English were at the airport and inside the university and even then they are hesitant to do so.

    The ending is exactly what is happening in china.i worked and studied 2 years in china and even i got immersed into we chat and their internet sites because i had to, i made my family and friends back home to install we chat so that we could talk because i didnt like the ordeal to go through VPN and the issue with connectivity after joining vpn. Every colleague, friends in china were in we chat so it was natural for me to just adapt. They have their copies of western games to keep them busy, the social sites, memes and even porn are available within wechat groups to have some self time. But they dont really care because you could say they are exactly like americans in a way, they are ignorant of what happens elsewhere beside their own bubble and country and they are never taught to explore beyond their own system, culture and country. They are content and happy. Learning english is a nightmare to them and they only learn 6 to 8 years in their school when its mandatory and completely stop studying further in english and having more than 800 million people online makes it easier to have them entertained foe every single thing. So, socialism or not, restriction or not, they are happy in their own existence because they are just not aware of the foreign ideologies enmass.
