That's what happenes when you are not tied with US political corectness BS and can say things as they are, one of the few things I liked about China as well, which is similar int his aspect, people have no problem to say harsh truth (unless it's politics), though on the other hand they often lie about irelevant things.

Interesting to label vague, indirect phrasing as "political correctness" -- US police departments are notorious for this when giving accounts of police shootings.

That explains the daily mass protests I see on TV in Shanghai and Beijing about slave labor. Or all the discussion about the Tiananmen Square protests. Or all those T-Shirt vendors with shirts that have the Tank Guy pic or Free Hong Kong slogans.

I lived there for plenty of years, did you? That's why I used that bracket everyone conveniently ignores.
