    Religious books are not banned. There are millions of christians in China. There are millions of Muslims in China. Reducing hours of video game playing could greatly assist with insane amount of hours that come with game addiction. It probably needs workshopped more but I personally think this change in coordination with providing youth with solid after school programs and activities would be good for long-term health and well being. That TikTok thing is BS. People in China watch just as much brainrot on douyin. Winnie the Pooh is beloved by people in China. Literally go around for five minutes and you’ll see his face plastered on shirts bags and as stuffed animals. As for the companies, this is good if true. Fuck companies doing whatever they want and hurting people. I hope they continue to have significant government oversight.

    Xinjiang is a more complex situation but if you look into it all accusations of genocide come from one source, Adrian Zens. He’s a CIA asset who claims god revealed to him that it’s his mission to destroy China. I’m gonna listen to the Muslim countries (and the UN) that came and inspected the region and said nah it’s chill.

    Have you ever talked to someone from there? I have and just asking them about this shit is really useful for learning that 80 percent of this stuff is untrue, and 20 percent is misconstrued.

    That’s the thing, if a lie is a big as the ones you present here, everyone would know. Yet here we are and the average person from china will complain about a lot of things but never the things you brought up here.

      Being obligated to send user information to any government while lying about it when investigated is objectively bad bruh what are u talking about😭 also the gaming hours thing is just plain dystopian activity… can chinese people connect to youtube, fcebook, reddit etc? + can they openly criticize the establishment and discuss controversial topics like tiananmen square, tankman?. How legal are vpns and other privacy tools? Cant really complain about the government when any and all complaints can put you in danger.

        have you ever seen the full tank guy footage? here it is, if you’re curious: https://youtu.be/qq8zFLIftGk the man is able to stop in the street, climb on the tank, talk to the operator, and walks away completely unharmed

        compare this to NYPD officers, who simply run protesters over: https://youtu.be/q-W-7WPWfE4

        Look man I’m not gonna respond to anymore of this stuff. I just want to point out that most of what you said the first time is untrue and then you just double down and list a bunch of other things as truisms.

        Be a little critical of narratives about places you know nothing about yeah?

            Go read up on videogame addiction. Reduces grey matter in the brain. Having socially isolated kids who only play games alone is damaging. Having kids touch grass in order to help avoid that is good.

            “Least obvious psyop” after spewing straight up BS. Okay lol

            I’m done goodbye

        The Great Firewall serves as a protectionist policy to encourage Chinese citizens to use China’s own platforms to help build China’s technological sovereignty while also filtering out a lot of reactionary crap. The Chinese people use VPNs to access YouTube and such all the time. I recommend watching Ben Norton’s video on his experience living in China as he does talk about the Great Firewall and its purpose.
