the online surveillance is no more than any other country
Hahahaha. Spoken like someone who has never been there or lives in pure ignorance. You just try to use an encrypted chat app while there and see what happens. Or criticise the government.
Oh, you can’t. That VPN…that’ll fix it though. Oh that’s right, they’re illegal.
Then they fit the second part, living in ignorance. Online surveillance there is measurably worse.
Edit: just for clarity, I’m not “china bad” in my worldview but claims they their online surveillance is the same as elsewhere is utter nonsense and either from ignorance or indoctrination.
I was born and raised here. The VPN is for the firewall which has many reasons to exist and I support, also they’re not illegal. Criticising the government is super common but mostly over mundane stuff because that’s what people care about (there’s a reason the approval even according to Harvard is 95+%). You people are always so arrogant while being so uninformed it’s amazing.
It simply isn’t. Remember snowden? The NSA? TAO? Pegasus? Our government is simply more open and honest with us (might be a side effect of having real democracy as opposed to a charade put on by bought candidates every 4 years). Also before you say that’s just America, Europe are American vassal states all of these and more (since this is just what has leaked) are deployed against Europeans too and intel is shared in deals like five eyes.
Yeah I remember all of those things. The complete lack of capacity to send an end to end encrypted message will tell you that it’s worse there.
Fill me in on this “real democracy” like I’m not American and pretend I live somewhere with proportional representation where anyone can run for office, because I do.

Just like everywhere else. Hahaha.
You are literally talking to a Chinese person from China, smug liberal dipshittery knows no bounds

You think they’re posting on Lemmy without a VPN?

Making a statement that online surveillance there is no different from elsewhere will get you that kind of response tbh. It is measurably worse.
