> Wealthy chinese are often upset at hearing criticism of a communist dictatorship with an atrocious human rights record - but they don't want to live there themselves if they can avoid it.
Yes. I agree with this part. I try not to "waste benefits of western civilization" by engaging in meaningful discussions on topics like this. Unfortunately I have my own circumstances that forbid me from going back. Also, I find your tone quite intimating. Since you already figured out that these "wealthy Chinese" people are hypocrites, why not accept the fact for what it is and move on with your own life. It is not like they are going to follow your call to action.
- lacampbell 10y agoWhy is wealthy chinese in scare quotes? You have to be very wealthy by PRC standards to relocate in a western country to study or work. Think about what percentage of Americans (3.5-4 times the GDP per capita of china) could afford to relocate to relocate to a country with a much higher cost of living like Australia. My call to action is not intended for overseas chinese. It is to make westerners think about the reality of the situation.
