Wait, China's not a dystopian nightmare?

I imagine it could be if you were a minority or a political dissident.

The fact that so many people went through sexual and gender self discovery on Tiktock, but such things are discouraged by the government in China says a lot that makes me uncomfortable.

Not being able to openly criticise the government and its policies also doesn't sit well with me.

It's not my government though, so that's where my criticism ends. If that's what the majority of people want, that's just democracy by another avenue. So long as people are allowed to leave if they choose, then that's fine.

It's honestly very wholesome to see this kind of interaction. On top of cute moments like Chinese users telling the new US users that they are their "spies," seeing a lot of blatant myth dispelling surrounding the PRC is great to help tear down the Red Scare.

Few things blew my mind even though I've been a big fan of Chinese economic and political policy for a while

They actually really like Soviet Culture, the marching soldiers and flags etc. Soviet rock like Kino and the like is very popular!

They're casually Marxist, its not something they have to fight to learn about so socialism is a casual existence for them. I figured the youth would be "too cool or hip" but doesn't seem to be the case

They're very similar as gamers, they really like shooters like battlefield and cs go. I assume their MMOs are different but I'm asking about that

It truly is a massive cultural exchange the likes of which have never been seen before. I'm trying to find out if they grew up on the same games, Morrowind Deus Ex Thief Ultima Online D&D etc

I still don't believe the TEMU bit though

I like how one person said they don't use child labour because they are inefficient. If they were efficient though ...

imagine making social media so bad your own citizens actively procure your biggest rival's networks.
