Funny, I have been to China many times visiting family and have never felt that western media has been particularly unfair in its portrayal.
I would rather not ever go back while Xi is still in power if I can help it (unfortunately I may have to one or two more times for familial obligations) and would recommend against going to anyone on the fence. Don't get Brittney Griner'd.
- ido 3y agoWhy Xi in particular, and do you have reason to believe his successor would be any better?
- mannerheim 3y ago> Why Xi in particular His rule has corresponded to a more authoritarian turn in China, especially in the last few years with his abolition of term limits. It was hardly a liberal country before, but the fact is it has gotten significantly worse, and I have no confidence of that situation improving as long as Xi is in power. I have no desire to end up like, say, Saad Ibrahim Almadi. > do you have reason to believe his successor would be any better? No. But it is the bare minimum.
