The Chinese government never fails to amaze with their ever ludicrous policies

[@nfbconnect]

It's no different here in the US. Just different words for the same end result: complete violation of all basic human rights. Both the Chinese and American governments do this at comparable rates. UPDATE: I seriously thought you people were all bots but now I'm scared that you all just don't know that nearly every state in America has a form of involuntary containment for mental illness. If someone you know calls and says you have a history of depression and you are acting weird you will be taken in for 24 hours in some states and that can go up to 90 days of psychiatric treatment. When you react to your containment you can commit crimes and then end up with criminal charges that will see you from psych containment to jail. If you are taken into a state psych center there is not much difference btwn that place and most jails. If you refuse usually it results in criminal charges. You have to pay for part of this treatment too. Here in Florida we have something called the Florida Shuffle where they don't let you out and move you from facility to facility bc they make money for each person in their care. Ppl think this is for addicts or seriously "crazy ppl" but you'll find a lot of ppl are there bc of a fight w family, partner, friend, or talking back to a cop or doctor. These practices are outpacing everything right now. If you think there are requirements that need to be met or that you are somehow not at risk you are wrong. Has a doctor ever told you you have anxiety or might be experiencing depression just once in your life? Guess what, you are mentally ill. But you don't even need a history bc many are marked as onset events. All it takes is just someone saying one thing and it could even be a lie. Ppl are doing this to ex partners in abusive relationships a lot as punishment for leaving them and to get custody of kids. Les Dunseith | November 3, 2020 The rate at which Americans are held against their will and forced to undergo mental health evaluations and even state-ordered confinement - lasting anywhere from a few days to years - has risen sharply over the past decade, according to a new study by researchers at the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs.

I’m Chinese, this is literally what I tell Americans everyday since I am in the US now. But I always get responds like:”yeah, but our government is shit too.” Guys, if you think so, you have no idea what you are saying. The fact you give bad comments to your government at your country’s internet easily and freely is already telling me and you, no, your government is not, way not … Add: what I mean is, I don’t like people equal the problem that Chinese people are facing with what American people are facing when I want to raise awareness of Chinese government issues. None of these are comparable. And it doesn’t mean I think American government is amazing. All the problems in different country are independent issues that we all need to care. One government's bad behavior shouldn't be a green light for another. And please have some understanding of Chinese people, most of time, you can only hear the voice of Chinese nationalists because they’re not banned from speaking. So that may gave you an impression that all Chinese people are bad and crazy. No, we, normal Chinese people hate them too, but most of us are silenced or scared of talking out loud.

[@kurt6221]

YS your not paying attention to whats really happening in America. The goal is to be an authoritarian regime similar to China. Please if your going to immigrate to America pay attention to what's really happening. We are presently owned by corporations which dictate all policy in America. We're a Fascists ( The marriage of government & corporations) regime. The woke left wants full control of all US citizens. We won't have any freedom left unless you immigrants wake up to what's really happening in America. Yes we need to stand up complain and fight for our freedom here so we don't end up like China.

I have lived and worked in China off and on for over 30 years, with Shanghai being my home for the last 13+ straight years. Even my Chinese business partners had no idea how bad the flooding was in BJ, literally merely 4.5 hours north of us by bullet train. They, like my clients, were fully oblivious to the degree of destruction and death the north witnessed.

Change will come from black swan events and we saw an example of this with the protests that sparked during their lock downs.

In Russia we have a sad saying that kinda describes this kinds of stuff: In a family there's a daugher, a dad and a mom. Dad works a dead end job, barely able to provide for his family. He drinks heavily because of that, and beats his wife often in his drunken bitterness and rage over the life's circumstances. One day he gets fired from his job, because he showed up hangover from the previous night's drinking. He gets home and tells his family. "How are we gonna eat? On what we are going to eat? I'm old, nobody is going to hire me in our small town, where even the young people can't find a job! And your factory is the only factory in town, they won't take you back!" - cries the wife. Daughter, on the ither hand cheerfully exclaims: "But there is also a bright side!" "What do you mean?" - her mom asks her. "Now, that we don't have money, daddy will stop drinking! And he won't shout and beat you anymore!" Dad suddenly raises his head and gloomly rasps: "I'm not going to drink less, it's you two that will be eating less". Sad population? Increase the living standards and free up economy so people will make more? Nah, it will meddle in our grasp on power. Ban being unhappy. Classic dictatorship.
