  • I think that we in the west sometimes fall into the trap of believing that our core values of freedom and democracy are supreme and are what all people across the world want to achieve and should aspire to.

    Maybe a lot of people in China think that a strong centralised government guiding the economy and most aspects of people's lives is the sign of a healthy society and they are happy with it. Maybe they think it's we who are sick because we don't like the state being too involved in our lives. To them, perhaps it's complete insanity.

    Idk, I might be talking complete bs. I just think that different people have different values and there's no right answer to how society is set up.

  • People generally shouldn't get mad as long as you're behaving in good faith. It's like accidentally calling someone by the wrong name, you just apologise and correct your mistake.

    Trans and non-binary people often get portrayed as if they're monsters, but most are reasonable people who can understand mistakes and are capable of accepting apologies.

  • In the UK you can be blacklisted from all sorts of services if you have a criminal record or poor financial history. And our police have experimented with facial recognition + have arrested people for posts on social media. Not to mention the Tory government trying to outlaw protest & dissent.

    But we're quick to make jokes about China
