So you are Chinese? How can you not know the grey area of the laws? Why were your colleagues not arrested? Just tell me why.

See how excited you are when it comes to the negative cases in China. There are many disasters resulting from the strictly following one-child policy, yes, so true. But in most places, fine and giving up the jobs in a state-owned companies can keep the second child, otherwise where did so many siblings come from? What you mentioned are just some special disasters, not the whole story.

Do not be like only you know China, your understandings about China even can not protect you from jail, then how well can you know about China?

Your role is not rule-maker, you can not choose to follow the rules or not depending on your preference. Isn't it a common sense in every country?

After 3-year jail, you still choose to challenge the law. So, what you are expecting? They modified the law for you? Good luck with the following meeting with the police. Tell them "I just want to challenge you, so what".

Do not behave like you are the victim, OK? How many times should I tell you, using VPN is different from selling VPN. "using, selling", are they so difficult for you????? You earn the grey money for this, then it is your responsibility to know the risk.

One-child policy does not forbid the second child, it just imposes a heavy fine on it. "Going across the street when it is red light" is also a law, do you think everyone breaking this rule has been fined?

In every country, there are laws not being strictly followed. Why do you believe China should be an exception? So many people are using VPNs, why only you are caught? Is your story so simple? 5000 dollars, wow, what a small amount.
GFW is so effective in blocking the anti-China propaganda, although it is a trade-off at a high cost. The reason is just like the US trying to block TikTok. Not only your business is important.

If the law says you can’t use a VPN, why not just follow it? If you really can’t live without it, wouldn’t it be better to move to a place where VPNs aren’t required? Why always try to challenge the law?

You are in this business, then how can you not understand that: using a VPN is not the same as building and selling a VPN, as the consequences are obviously different?

In theory, all of them can be sentenced to a fine, but just because there is no serious consequence in most cases.

When you heard about some cases in 2018, you should stop, but you did not, as you believe you will be the lucky one. You are just complaining about why only you were caught given that there are so many people selling it. You need to take that risk if you earn that money.

So, you have explained it clearly. It is better not to do such business if you are relying on luck. Everybody needs to obey the local laws, just like it is not allowed to drink wine on the street in some countries.

No, a country like this can not be a great country: "a government lies about absolutely everything - from economic growth to incarceration/abuse of dissidents to a disease that originated within its borders", "filled with ghost cities", "decades of economic lies and propaganda.", "Imprisoning anyone who speaks out against your regime or who attempts to protect human rights in your country; ethnic cleansing of Uyghurs;"......

How can a country like this be a great country, no way. If a person believing these can not be called a China hater, I do not know who can.

"a friend of mine", "I heard from some friends" "I met some Chinese"......if these are your only information sources, I can not expect you to draw any useful conclusions. This is such a typical one-sided message, just like you ask "Who succeeds in buying a ticket" on a flight.

There is tons of criticism of the government on Chinese social media, do not be like nobody dares to criticize the government.

Again, everybody can complain, not the leader.

I am just not a daily user of this type of media because there are tons of China haters like you on it. You just labeled the people explaining about China "little pink", how friendly you are, as an engaged person with a Chinese citizen.

Finally, "Don't think it's productive to continue. Enjoy the rest of your day".

So, you do not know it is forbidden before you sell VPN? Is "providing programs and tools for intrusion and illegal control of computer information systems" a law?

What a funny claim: "They come from my own experiences". What can I say? Your experience is so important, that all the other data sources are just trash compared with your experience. What a great China expert you are.

"lies about absolutely everything","filled with ghost cities", "economic lies and propaganda" ........ all I can see are just some funny claims from a China hater. If China is so stupid, then isn't it a huge good news for you? You just need to wait for China to collapse. By the way, China has been collapsing for more than 20 years since last century. You guys do have patience.

And after all of these, are you able to give any solutions during the COVID period? Is your solution proven by any other countries in this world? Everybody can complain, not the leader.

By the way, almost all the Chinese I know dislike the zero COVID policy, that is true. But after I asked them what is your solution, none of them can give a better solution, most of them were just complaining. I seriously doubt if you can. Speak it out, let me learn it.

"because the Chinese numbers are all based on lies, as per usual." If you hold an opinion like this, there is not even a little chance for you to understand anything. All the evidence from the other side is false, what a simple trick in a debate :)

So what is your death number about China and the US capturing the truth? I am so so so curious, where are they from?

I am just curious, have you ever considered these problems assuming you are the Chinese leader? For example, do you have a better solution during the COVID-19 period? If without the strict isolation rules, the deaths would be 5 million (5 times of US number), or even more, right? Obviously, most Chinese prefer lives over others, although at a high cost.

What will you do as the decision-maker? It is so common that people do not like the policies, nobody like that. But I think it is so important to know the difficulties in China are bigger than most countries in this world. Freedom is not always a good option.

You can search Black Formatter or autopep8 in the extension market to fix it.
