Hence it's a bit sad you seem to have your head in the sand on this issue.
Please read my comment again, I said it is not really a democracy but at least far better then one-party dictatorships. Yes, there is lots of troubling things going on, but at least there are laws and there is legal recourse possible. To my knowledge the US doesn't currently jail black famlies into concentration camps in the 100,000's without any legal recourse just for being black, as just a small example.
Maybe no poc might mean they forget to include our faces in the dataset like early Apple faceID.
Obviously this is different than just talking shit about the government with your friends. Once again, you won't get disappeared for speaking out against the government here. You run into problems when you publicize it or share it or incite unrest/protest, or in this case "vandalize" Xi's image, and as well as do those things. I am not saying that this is ok, I'm saying you are talking about 2 different things.
Talking shit about the government is fine, no one cares. Spreading it online or organizing a public protest is a problem. If everyone that complained about Xi or the government got disappeared there wouldn't be any Chinese people left.
Just seems like you don't like someone who lives here and knows how things work telling you your sendationalism doesn't help and isn't correct.
I have lived in China, now living in Hong Kong and still travel there very frequently, speak two Chinese languages, and have many friends there. I think it would be best to take off the rose-colored glasses and look behind the facade, I don't buy into sensationalism.
Mass surveillance is better in America because of the "rule of law"?
Ok.
Is nuance so hard to understand? Not everything is black and white, read again.
Ok, but kinda just sounds like the typical American "we have the best intentions!" trope.
Read the article scared af but couldn't avoid thinking how cool the pictures look lol This one is particularly good.
Maybe I read cyberpunk a little bit too much.
PS: But seriously, this is really scary. I wouldn't be surprised if we experience living in a full cyber society if we millennials manage to live until our 60's.
