  • That’s not true. I mean…I’m sure you’re being hyperbolic, and there’s certainly discontent in a 1 party system…but I have some exposure to ordinary Chinese people as well as regular people in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the sentiment is mixed, at worse.

    The sentinment is this: “黑猫白猫,做到老鼠就是好猫。” (“Doesn’t matter if it’s a black cat or white cat, if it can catch mice, its a good cat” “cat” referring to the political system)

    Doesn’t matter who’s in power. Mao Zedong or Chang Kai-shek.

    Doesn’t matter if it’s Obama, or Hillary, or Trump, or Biden, or Kamala, or Pence, or Vance, as long as they prosper under it, anything is fine.

    “Don’t worry son, ICE is only going after the Mexicans and ‘illegals’, just don’t draw attention and everything is fine! What’s there to worry about, we all came legally.”

    That’s my parent’s attitude towards politics, no matter what country. Do not be a dissident, is their motto. Low profile, just worry about your self, stop worrying about others.

    You know what the irony is. They disagree with the One Child Policy, gave birth to me against policy, then mom got had to get sterilized as a result of the violation and had to pay a huge fine.

    Then moments after they tell me about that, they just brush it off like it’s no big deal. Then I criticize CCP and they’re like: “but the party wasn’t able to terminate you, and you’ve alive, so stop talking about it” Already making excuses for a party that they disagree with on policy. I guess its that mentality again: didn’t affect me, I managed to have a second son, who cares about the policy anymore





  • Nah, my existence was illegal. I’m the second son in my family. I’d feel very rejected there.

    Hukou was also another form of rejection. To them, I’m just a filthy peasant from some village in Taishan. Doesn’t matter if I was born in a hospital in Guangzhou, I get Taishan Hukou. They didn’t me in Guangzhou Oublic schools. We didn’t belong there, just migrants, second class residents. By the start of highschool, the migrants kids have to go back to where their hukou actually is because Gaokao has to be taken there.

    Westerners have their privilaged passport to shield themselves because the PRC authorities won’t dare to touch a western citizen. Too much trouble and bad international press. (I mean as long as you don’t actually cross their “red line”, you’re immune) That’ probably why it feels so free.

    I mean, even an American Citizen of Chinese descent don’t get that privilage, since they “look Chinese” they get treated like a Chinese national.
