Wait until you hear about the Chinese police fans who do up their cars to look like People’s Police vehicles and drive them around cities in Europe and North America with large Chinese expatriate populations, apparently just for fun.
Not to just play whataboutism but wearing masks to protests against a genociding nation just got banned in some states of the land of the free. Sadly, not being allowed to criticize is on the rise everywhere…
There are many ways of allowed criticism of the CCP. A certain degree of self censorship is applied no matter where one lives. But yes that is certainly one large negative of Chinese political rule!
A lot of westerners, sure. The vast majority of Chinese would disagree since they’re 1-2 generations away from poverty. Depending on the city most grandparents have zero education, parent may have gone to middle school, then current gen has shot for the stars. Chinese government can be unfair, but no one can argue they didn’t make everyone’s lives materially better
