I mostly agree with you. Quality of life in China has improved a lot. Even if we compare 2010 to 2020, you'd be able to see tons of progress in economy, society, infrastructure, etc.
But I disagree that the surveillance in China is not as bad as it is in the west, also calling China "socialist" is a bit of a stretch.

Holy shit...
I'm sorry for assuming that free speech is allowed here.
Abuse is ok, calling somebody a sexpat is ok, personal offences that are not based on anything are ok, but the C word is too much?
It's fucking hilarious.
Yes, I know more about China and the USSR than you do.

Honestly I'd love to accidentally meet you in real life and have a proper conversation, but I'm done for now.

It was a very stupid and pointless conversation.
Enjoy your day!

My slur was "C.U.N.T".
I'm not even going to finish reading your message, because you cunts(See yoo en tee es) aren't even able to read a fucking word. It's fucking hilarious!
I'll probably take a look tomorrow, and send you a message back. But it's hilarious that your "fres speech" community doesn't allow a word (c)(u)(n)(t)

I've tried a few different ways to spell the word, but afraid it might be too offensive for you 😨

Thank you for being level-headed.

You're correct that I'm trying to go for "both sides", but what I'm trying to say is that both sides aren't good.
It's hard to explain, but China is not that Utopia that you're looking for...
Lots of people thought that the US was a fucking utopia a decade or so ago...

Are you ok? Did I call you a slur? Do you mean "cunt" is a slur? Are you even a Brit? You've spent the whole night arguing with me...
But I do like your message with all the hashtags and 5x "cognitive dissonance"..

As for the nuance... The point is that it's a FUCKING NUANCE. Visit the fucking country, and in the future try talking shit, or glazing it ONLY after a visit.

As for having no clue... You most probably have zero idea about the country you're talking about. You don't care about me knowing the language and the culture means YOU dont actually care about it. If you cared to learn enough you'd learn to appreciate how much of a culture is IN the language...
Cunts like you only care about pushing your idea...

You're basing your assumptions on words of a person who probably has never been to China, instead of the one who lived there for over a decade...
I was trying to point out that there is no perfect country, and "the grass is always greener...", but your outtake was that "the evil west is pushing it's idea through lusterko0 ?

Chill out a bit, and try to make less assumptions. If somebody disagrees with you, it doesn't mean that they think that "the west" is superior, or they're racist. In fact it's normal to see positives AND negatives.
Cunts like you are the same as those who are sucking American cock on the other side of the world, because "Trump is a strong man".
You don't speak the language, you don't understand the culture, you have no idea about any nuances, but you think you know everything about a country.
你去了一趟中国，学会了中文再说哈？TMDSB

According to you it is in the room with you, but it's not allowed to be anywhere else outside of the UK.

Saying that China doesn't have mass surveillance is as ridiculous as saying that it'll collapse in a year.
