    It has always fascinated me how a bunch of people who have never been to China, and who don’t speak the language have such confident opinions about Chinese politics. It’s the exact same racist paternalism they constantly accuse liberals of, but with a triple dose of fart huffing.

      I actually have been to China, fwiw. I also didn’t express any strong opinions about China in my comment

      So part of the reason for that is .ml and hexbear are pretty much the only instances blocked by the great firewall. So .ml users who go to China can either jump instances or use a vpn/hk-based esim to post.
