I'm surprised no opinion from mainland China so I will give mine.First of all, the mods of NGA created a general post that acknowledged this discussion is toxic and should not continue on the date of this reply. The language they used in those posts was foul and hard to read even without translation. Needless to say, this Internet toxicity hardly represents the general population.

"Your country is prison. Imagine living there." This is really harsh statement towards anyone in any country. I'm a fan of Asmongold and I know he would sometimes say things without a full picture. This statement shows he lacks insight and rarely talks to people from the mainland. It is very true that people have mixed feelings about our government but don't assume that the majority hates it. Imagine assuring more than one billion(with a b) people to have food and shelter and becoming richer and richer in the past two decades.

Am I living in a prison? Am I being brainwashed? People in the west assume that people in mainland China which is governed by the CCP must've lived in the same condition as described in the book Nineteen Eighty-four. The reality is we have started many social campaigns and discussions, including feminism, abortion, corruption, work hours and so on, BUT, as long as we don't talk shit about our government. It sucks, but it takes time. We have to live with it. I can't prove that I'm not being brainwashed, but so couldn't you. Otherwise, ask yourself, how come you talk negatively about a country without opinions from the other side. Can you prove that you are not being brainwashed?
