Chinese Mainlander First, all Chinese mainlander under ccp's ruling. Censorship causes many things. And my observations are based on common educated younger people and farmers, not elite or gongzhi. Compared with every other country people I have meet, Chinese mainlander is naiver and more like "good" kid. Most of them cannot speak English and because they don't have a way to use VPN, they are more self-enclosed(means do not speak with foreigner too much about politics). Chinese mainlander also makes many funny memes but not politics. But, Chinese mindset is more like American sometimes. Chinese mainlander/sometimes CCP welcomes laowai. Chinese mainlander welcome multiculturalism and foreigner, like Japan, Korean, US, Russia etc... But because of political reasons, things must change. I think Chinese mainlander is a kind people but "brain-washed" only. Chinese mainlander is usually poorer than American, but for volunteering or donating sometimes, Chinese mainlander express more enthusiasm than its should rank. Sometimes you can compare that with Japanese (I know English world like Japan, Chinese mainlander also like it). All because we have morals and ethics in Chinese tradition. As I know, Brits should have something same knight spirit like that. But yes, everyone is the same. The ones learn Chinese history deeply, and any other countries history will find some dark theory, that's a Chinese politician, leads the lambs. Honestly, I like Chinese mainlander sometimes more than foreigner, because if you really know them deeply (need know Simplified Chinese deeply), they are some funny and most kind people in the world. Yes, there is some noise. But a typical Chinese mainlander don't hate anyone but just want to a fun(full of haters, I think it is characteristics of a free but amoral society). Except political issues. After all, ccp is the shepherd of China. Chinese society is not free, but no haters actually if deeps into Chinese mainlander. The summary and fact are: Chinese have a moral culture like Brits but under CCP ruling. I don't think every country promotes a moral culture, but China does. Many times, it is a loyalty culture, but also keep somethings invaluable. Chinese (including Taiwanese) actually value virtue but I don't know CCP. So Chinese communism, indeed has some Chinese characteristics. And Chinese gov's KGB usually more powerless than real KGB because no creative thinking. Shepherds only keep real lambs to be an offical. So, for KGB spying ways, the government usually cooperates with the semi-offical organization. They can't refuse, and sometimes they are children of gov(communism). Freedom of Speech (Freedom) Except China-politic related Chinese media has a good point in truth because Chinese government also ban radical/porn speech and nsfw/bloody. Sometimes some points may be magnified by real minorities that out of China Mainland. Han Chinese not like other main nationality, it takes 98% in China. China's ethnic minorities are real minorities, not like Indians, Russian, or Serbia nationality. Chinese KGB is not real KGB and powerless, the things they can do is very limited when you are other country. Tibet let me think about Texas. Tibet may has more reasons than Texas. CCP cops are not good but also do not arrest people without a reason except you are in a political crime. But indeed, Chinese gov is not an all-people's democratic government. And, people tend to criticize one's own government, and when people are out of the gov's control, people will do something real freedom because complete liberation. Today's Xinjiang situation has many reasons, can be tracked back Tsarist Empire. The growth of CCP get helped by minorities, so in common CCP like minorities except people wanting to incite division. But CCP uses wolf warrior diplomacy and strict censorship, that makes CCP bad. But honestly, having no freedom of speech is really bad. But people also always get used to it and enjoy their life. Taiwanese is also most Han Chinese. There is no little Russian or bigger Russian, because Russian in Russia cannot take 80%. So, one China has a reason, and KMT also agree with that. 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre, which is the most keypoint for any dissenters. Other points for common Chinese mainlander, it is too much for them. Truly nobody can tolerate it and for them, they are living under a CCP ruling country with many wumaos, and officials need to learn XJP. And, Chinese mainlander cannot speak reasons by English, and democracy is also a new word for the millennium ancient country. For evil-man, I think it is a total ridiculous, but I will take a neutral attitude. English world people like Japan, but Japan may have more evil man. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_by_region In China, prostitution is totally illegal. Japan has a same color but truth is not. In this graph, I can see how English world view Japan in such a positive attitude. Both mainland and taiwanese like Japan, but in my neutral view, I think Japan need more moral education maybe. news.hsw.cn/system/2022/1123/1551859.shtml A graduate student was expelled for visiting prostitutes. About Japanese brothel, I would not like say too much, but many Chinese mainlander want to a visit and know it is totally public. From what I know about Japanese women, when they really want to know Chinese mainland deeply, they prefer China's situation. But foreigner may couldn't see that from the outer network. The Chinese educated people take gender equality very seriously and it is Maxist's order with Chinese characteristics. On the day CCP come to power, the CCP abolish all KMT times brothels in China. Honestly, China may be is a most gender-equality country in the world. But the "gender-equality", if you mention that it never ends. And the arrested protesters about "gender-equality", they have political reasons instead of gender-equality. They meet the only mafia in China. But Japan government is not a CCP government, so they are more open-mind and can take some clever ways to raise public opinion. Authoritarianism has many problems and this is one of them. So, the people also use CCP's way, no reason for that. Actually, because it is no open election and censorship, nobody has the ability to think or be reasonable. And officials don't take the reasons. Truly censorship makes CCP look bad, although mainlander don't know that in the country, when they leave China, they will exercise their total even not fair liberty in retaliation. I'm trying my best to keep neutral "doublethink".That's China reality, but all in all, I believe in freedom. And, communism bad(in freedom).
