It's not so much this as it is I am a person who absulotely needs freedom of expression and China is a place where that is highly regulated. I wouldn't survive long.

Not sure what exactly you mean by that but it's not like someone is monitoring all the conversations you have. You can say a lot before anyone will even bother to intervene. I had conversations about censorship and the Tiananmen massacre with Chinese people in China. Another example would be YouTubers laowhy86 and serpentza. They are pretty focused on the negative sides of China and have uploaded a lot of content from within China. They actually left China just a few months ago and apparently didn't have any problems doing so. I mean not that I'm trying to force you to go to China or anywhere else but I really think it's a very valuable experience. But that also depends on other circumstances like whether you have family. I certainly wouldn't want to move to the other side of the planet for half a year with a toddler. :-)

- Generalization: "Western Media Bad"

- Americans bad

- Chinese Culture good

- Everybody else lying.

I'm sure this comment could help with a bad social credit.

Heh looks like you're exactly the kind of person described in the first sentence. ;-)

I'm astonished how many people need to paint the world black and white in order to function. Chinese people have to be all evil and bad so I can feel better about my home country.

I'm neither "Murican" nor am I one of those ominous fake news spreaders who never have been there.

And nobody said that all Chinese people have to be evil...I haven't seen anybody here making this statement. Why do you feel you have to set up this straw man?

Your reading comprehension skills seem to be severely lacking.

I understood your Ad pretty good. Just like I've saw your disclaimers spread here and there. No worries.

Heh well done I fell for it. Should have checked your comment history before replying but oh well, I fed a troll.

Wrote the guy with ad hominem as an answer.

Perfect.
