I’ve had the pleasure of working with and getting to know several Chinese nationals and nearly all of them were hesitant to take about China when discussions at bars would turn to world politics.
I wonder if this is how your average American would have felt at the height of McCarthyism? I hope one day Chinese people feel more free to speak their minds about their government.
- TechBro8615 5y agoThis is how 40-50% of America feels now, btw. Many of us are silent because we know that any view right of the orthodoxy can lead to negative social and career repercussions.

- TechBro8615 5y agoI’ve got no clue, I don’t live there. For all intents and purposes I live online, where investors and employers and colleagues are all hyper aware of what I say. That’s why I had to make an alt to even post what I actually think on this website. (Note that people with beliefs on the other side of the spectrum do not feel the need to make pseudonymous accounts to post their opinions. Frankly this should tell you all you need to know. I call this liberal privilege.)
