US calls Beijing a ‘thuggish regime’

Very true, but you shouldn t discount attachment from Chinese to the mainland, it s not like they were given much chance to exercise much free will and judgement on their country while they grew up, some of this education must stick.

I’ve noticed that every Chinese person who’s made any sort of money has “one foot in and one foot out” of the Country. Speaks volumes.

Those pictures are from... a basketball summer camp for kids in Shenzhen, it s mostly military training, much of the mainland kids education is about loving their country, respecting their one party government and whatever it says, and watch out for malign foreign forces, besides heavy maths and lots of rote learning, plus plenty of respect for their elders (except if those elders believe in blasphemous things like foreign media and universal vote I suspect)

Well, brain washing and suppression can only go so far. 50 years in Eastern Europe, USSR and they still wanted to be free.

I think China is making a mistake moving back to the old ways. If they choose to continue open up their society, they will be hard to beat. We humans are hardwired to think independently and most eventually will. Think HK.

I heard a foreign teacher (aussie i guess) got into trouble after telling his pupils to reason and question and not to take things at face value in school.

In my boarding high school in canada, many mainlanders started playing the chinese national anthem simultaneously on probably the national day at around 8am. I was sleeping and the music was so loud that everybody was awoken. I then turned on the hifi and played trance music which turned their ceremony into a chaos. A bunch of chinese came to my room and we had some serious argument. Also, in a japanese bank that I worked, there were 2 mainlanders in the dept and we always had arguments on things, work or non-work related. I was born in HK and I never got along well with mainlanders. Even with my residency in japan and canada, I still have to see many of them, maybe if i can't escape them i should embrace them
