Ehm...you are aware that you're talking about a one-party state? I used to live in one; it was all the same thing (except for the Xi Jinping part, of course).
- onethought 5y agoNo it isn’t. The tech scene in China is awesome. The startup scene is awesome. The communities I have interacted with are all awesome. Yes political speech isn’t really a thing. Yes xi is a problem. But to miss the awesome because of that is a mistake in my opinion. Small enterprises are largely uneffected by government. Sure Tencent and Alinaba have to jump through government hoops… but there is A LOT of business underneath that. Doing awesome stuff.

I could say the same things about my country of birth at the time when the things I said were all true. I never said that no communities can thrive under oppressive conditions.
