I'm curious. Do you speak/read Chinese fluently? I rarely hear people speak about Japanese people without using the pejorative "小" (small) in front. 小日本人. Basically little J*ps in English. Even professors casually use such language in lectures. One guy even told me they aren't human! On Weibo I've seen people say that black people aren't human, so hating us isn't technically "inhumane." That said, I still live traveling in China because of my interest in calligraphy and poetry. Personal safety is not much of a concern though I was robbed once in Beijing. One only experienced,2 overtky racist incidents over the past 20 years of traveling. I want there during COVID though, when anti-black racism was over the top. One black guy even died after being rejected from several hospitals. Many were evicted from their homes and barred from public places. Like Jim Crow visits Asia. That was despicable. Post-COVID China seems back to normal, except for the occasional lady that will adjust her face mask when she sees a foreigner. I'm regards to discussions regarding the US, I found sentiment more hostile during the Trump years, when the trade war was in full swing. Now I most hear stuff like "China has (insert good thing) and the US doesn't. I find it annoying but harmless.

The Chinese have an old saying: 'Without rules, there is no square and round.' In this context, 'rules' represent laws, while 'square and round' signify freedom. There is no absolute freedom in this world; freedom can only exist within certain boundaries. Otherwise, extreme freedom would undermine itself, much like the situation in the United States today, where robbery and crime have become commonplace. Even more perplexing, there are now over 100 recognised genders, which seems quite bewildering to Chinese people. Why can't Americans differentiate between genders and personalities? China is deeply influenced by Confucian culture, which values balance and harmony, and sees everything, including freedom, as relative. In contrast, Western culture often pursues extremes. Westerners frequently criticise China for its lack of freedom of speech and the inability to criticise the government freely. However, Chinese people do enjoy a considerable degree of freedom of speech. Although the government has a strict censorship system, it cannot completely prevent people from expressing their views. As long as your speech and actions don't aim to divide the country or overthrow the regime, you can generally say what you want. This is evident on the Internet, where the government quickly responds to public concerns if the criticisms are valid. China's rapid development in recent years has led to fewer voices criticising the government, not because we can't, but because the government has genuinely earned the people's support through its achievements. If the government has done nothing wrong, why should we criticise it? No system or country is perfect. Even Americans, who pride themselves on their freedom, now invent euphemisms to avoid censorship. China is certainly not as terrifying as portrayed by Western media, but it's also not as developed as some bloggers claim. China is a developing country; some parts are more advanced than the West, but many areas lag far behind. We are continually learning and progressing while seeking to establish friendly relations with the world. The West's fear of China is unnecessary. Cooperation is the only way to solve global problems because this planet belongs to all of humanity, not just one part of it.

In fact, many people don't know that China really has an election system. China's election system starts with the lowest level of institutions, that is, the so-called neighborhood committee leaders or village heads in rural areas. This election is the voting right that ordinary citizens can use. This is the first level of election. Then, these people who are elected from the first level will be called representatives (you can understand them as city councilors) and are eligible to enter the city-level parliament (AKA City People's Congress), that is, they have the right to vote and elect. From this time on, the right of ordinary citizens to vote is used by these people. The city-level parliament elects the provincial parliament, the provincial parliament elects the National People's Congress, and finally, the National People's Congress elects various important national positions. This is the election process stipulated in the Constitution of the People's Republic of China. However, the difference between this election and the Western election is that you cannot conduct election speeches or raise funds. This is the general process and method of China's election. At the same time, although China is a one-party dictatorship, you must understand a fact, that is, even the so-called one party actually has many factions. These factions also have their own power and interests, and the positions of the President and the General Secretary of the Party are actually the result of discussions and compromises among the factions. There is an institution called the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, which is the core of the entire Chinese leadership. So, in fact, from a certain perspective, China and the United States are essentially the same. In the United States, you seem to be able to choose between two parties, but in fact, the basic national policies of the United States implemented by these two parties are similar, and there may be some differences in the details. In China, one party implements China's national policies, and then handles the details within the party.

If the complaints are substantiated the office will cause a lot of trouble to the officials to address the issue. Now with social media so popular in China, and Xi Jinping so serious about his management team, any story about government complaints viral on media will already cause the Prosecutor Office to pro-actively trigger an investigation causing the officials to be sacked. You just need enough facts to substantiate your claims, and they'll find out the responsible parties.

Yes, complete nonsense from her, that's not democratic, to suggest that Xi Jinping is not a dictator is preposterous, he often gets no votes against him like when he decided to run for a 3rd term. "The endorsement of Xi’s appointment by the ceremonial National People’s Congress was a foregone conclusion for a leader who has sidelined potential rivals and filled the top ranks of the ruling Communist Party with his supporters since taking power in 2012. The vote for Xi was 2,952 to 0 by the NPC, members of which are appointed by the ruling party. Xi, 69, had himself named to a third five-year term as party general secretary in October, breaking with a tradition under which Chinese leaders handed over power once a decade"

Nah I can say stuff about Xi Jing Ping however I like in daily conversation, you just can't post these stuff on the internet. I'm not saying you'll get arrested or anything for posting a comment on internet (unless it's too extreme), but that comment will get deleted. Also there are different groups within the governement and they compete and have voting behind the scene, but once a decision is made, everyone must agree on the decision which is shown as the meme where no one dissagree. The dude LiKeQiang belongs to a different group to Xi (dude is now replaced with LiQiang tho).
There's a simple explaination for the majority of the representatives won't vote no: those topics ready for a vote are widely discussed and concluded. For controversial topics, they just won't get the chance for a vote. It's more like collective signing by voting.

I think some people tend to write long comments because they want to express their thoughts and opinions in detail. However, it’s also perfectly fine to keep your comments short and simple, like saying “wow, amazing!” or “wow, nice!” and giving it a like. I understand that typing long comments can be tiring and time-consuming. It’s better to share our thoughts on other posts or statuses as well, so we can give everyone a fair amount of attention. That’s why it’s okay to keep your comments brief too, because there are many other posts that you might find interesting and entertaining, and you can like and comment on those as well. It would be a waste of time if you spend too much time typing long comments. You might not have enough time to take care of household chores like cleaning or washing dishes because your time is being wasted. So my advice to you is to keep your comments short to save time. Just like me, I prefer to keep my comments concise.

More fear about taking an interview from foreign media, because a lot of well known foreign media will twist or cut what you said to meet their propaganda, and that was not what you meant at all. You could be a target because whoever saw that interview would think that was what you said. Suprise ah?

To shed some light for the hosts about Chinese public voicing out frustrations and criticisms. It was never illegal to voice out or complain, that assumption is caused by the deluded west who tries to make China sound that way. Chinese people had been doing that forever, there is always a bottom line on what is acceptable but as long as it's within the law you can do whatever and it's hard to cross that line unless you drawing attention by being extremely toxic and disruptive to the public peace. It's not that you can't say anything about Chinese leadership, it more about credibility. Firstly and culturally it's disrespectful unless it is a serious issue. Secondly, you have to be extremely credible because the president of China is much respected and has achievements on a different level. The public is more likely to ask critics "What have you done for the country?". They would sound pretty stupid otherwise after all... China is a government for the people, so all constructive criticisms are considered. Chinese don't hate anyone but we do think America is hostile towards China. That does not equate to hate, it is just about being educated and well informed.

Based on this conversation I have a feeling both of you understand little about China nor have an accurate present view. It feels like an outdated view of China 15 years ago. Why mention rural area if not Shanghai or Beijing as if everything else are rural beside them. Shenzhen, the most technologically advanced city in the World. Guangzhou, Chengdu such an amazing laid back vibed city with its citizens living a more leisurely, Chongqing the largest populated city with insane infrastructure, Hangzhou the most beautiful scenic views I have seen, to name a few all are amazing top tier cities. China for a while now is both the no. 1 developed country, plus it still is continuing being the no. 1 developing country. There is no country that is able to catch up at present. The US is in decay for a while now and they are doing little about it. I hear nothing about how the situation is in the US, for fair comparison you should done a recent street interview in the US and ask random citizens (plus the homeless in CA) what they think about living in the US what they think about their government. If you would have combined this for analysis and review that would have been interesting.

I think the number is actually less than before. I think a lot of Chinese nowadays, since Xi, have become more nationalistic and proud of their country, no less in part due to the great technological advancements that have taken place in the last 10 years that have greatly improved Chinese people's general quality of life (namely the technological advancements with WeChat, smart devices, and online mobile services). And a lot of Chinese people think that the US is technically a more dangerous country to live in rather than in China (particularly with the rise of shootings, that arguably I think could be sourced to the Sandy Hook school shootings in 2012, for instance, and the divisive political climate on the streets since the 2016 presidential election). Nowadays, I think Chinese are more interested in visiting US or living short-term. But not to live there long-term or to raise a family.
