God can there not be a single china article on lib spaces without some fucking brainworms in the comments?
I was expecting an article when I clicked. But this is basically a tweet with no further details.
- What article do you want? China's premier said it will happen, so it's going to happen. Not much more news than the headline lmao
  
  Any additional context. Like why did they decide to do this? Or when is it going to happen? How long is the visa for and what other countries have it already?
  Something like this provides more info: https://lemmy.ml/post/16890659
- lmao imagine thinking that the Chinese government gives a shit what you say on social media that can't be accessed in China
  it's pretty simply just control yourself on Chinese social media as if you are in public. that's the only principle of the thing
  
  Ok

  And
  https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-13/china-secret-police-operations-revealed-by-spy-four-corners/103826622
  And on and on and on it goes. Article after article.
- I used to be extremely critical of China And the CCP. Used to post publicly on my Facebook and other social media about them. I just got back in April from China after deprogramming myself from decades of Sinophobia, and I had absolutely no issues.
  
  CCP
  Just an fyi they refer to themselves as CPC. Only western libs say CCP to make the association with CCCP. Also there's a semantic difference.
