Inspired by the recent c/AskLemmy question about Myanmar.

As a PRC-born ethnic Han-Chinese person who currently is a US Citizen and reside in the US, I’m curious on what people think of my former country.

    • Interesting mythology and past.
    • Technologically advancing.
    • Many ethical issues against people by the Government.
    • They are very into the illusion of being a paradise.
    • If you are a person not from there, it can be a potentially traumatizing experience, depending on what parts of the country you go to.

      If you are a person not from there, it can be a potentially traumatizing experience, depending on what parts of the country you go to.

      Actually, foreigners (white foreigner to be precise) such as Youtubers Serpentza and Laowhy86 managed to go around China and make videos critical of the CCP and they didn’t end up in prison or anything. But if a Chinese person attempted the same thing, they’d probably get jailed. I feel like there a sort of “foreigner privilage” that basically the CCP doesn’t want to get involved in a diplomatic incident, but is otherwise happy to punish their own citizens (since there wouldn’t be any diplomatic incidents).

        I didn’t even mean trauma from the gov’t, which is a whole different level, but trauma from its own people. My wife traveled to China for work and it was not great for her.
