Your assumption that excessive alcohol consumption is stigmatized in China is wrong. Drinking is very common and not done in hiding.

  People won't show up drunk to work, but KTV company parties or among friends where everyone gets totally hammered are not uncommon in the big cities.

  Is this even a serious question/discussion? I am not pro-china but I can't help but notice the us-induced narrative to just hate-spam russia and china as totalitarian states purely based on the socioeconomic differences. This meme isn't even funny.

    There is a literal genocide going on in China right now, this is not hate-spam. Russia is about to invade a foreign country again. This isn't the US induced narrative, this is literally what's currently happening according to any informed person that is not being paid/brainwashed by the Chinese or Russian government.

    I am not claiming that the CCP meetings are full of drunks, I am just asking how far "excessive" alcohol consumption is supposedly accepted behavior. I would be seriously surprised if that was accepted. Sorry for not being clear about that.

      Chinese people are just like any other people. That’s also true of most of the planet. Have you spent any time living in East Asia? Perhaps you ought to.

        No they're not. Who the hell would to want to live in a genocidal totalitarian state where people bury their newborn daughters and where 10% of food is made from sewer oil?Also a country where people would rather kill you if they run you over?And where your organs can get harvested by the government? The only legitimate reason to want to live in China would be to actively work against the government criminal actions but that would also be suicidal.

    Russia?? Purely based on socioeconomic differences? They invaded Crimea and the Donbas in Ukraine. They are literally about to further invade Ukraine and have already amassed 100k troops and heavy weaponry, thousands of Ukrainian lives and their sovereignty be damned…

      Just like the US has done on another dosens cases throughout their history. Please don't spam, my statement still stands. Both sides have done wrong, i just get annoyed when i see the obvious "US good - China/Russia bad" narrative being subliminally pushed on irrelevant matters.

        No the US is not good, not at all. It's pretty bad, but it's currently not a greater threat than China. The US is not currently invading Canada or Mexico, or harvesting organs from minorities. This is not irrelevant, China is the new Nazi Germany and the greatest threat to the world besides global warming.

        No I'm not a troll. You're just really ignorant. Did you spend the last 5 years living in a cave? How can you be totally oblivious to the fact that there is millions of people in concentration camps right now? Working as slaves for multinationals or getting their organs harvested by the Chinese government?

Your two sentnces are not the same thing. Drinking != excessive consumption. Telling us drinking is not stigmatized, is meaningless.
