I have colleagues from China. They visit us occasionally and we exchange sometimes even about half forbidden topics. They work and live in city with 7 millions people and it’s kinda (as you write) boring. It’s absolutely like my countryside life and I like it. For me personally western politics is disgusting. Why? There are groups of people who have resources to influence voters enough to have the right people to do right thing for them. There are no real fights, just show for voters.
