[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 day ago* (1 child) Good for you. The point still stands: i wouldn't extensively criticize China's government online (use Tibet or Tiananmen instead of Pooh then) and then expect to fly in without any eyebrows being raised at the gate. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] distal@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago First of all, supposing you are not posting under your government name, how are the Chinese supposed to know who is making posts if they are not made on sites controlled by Chinese firms? Secondly, do you not think that they know that a lot of Americans and Europeans flying into China have less-than-positive views? At this point the top officials who design policy are expecting it to some extent. It would be unsustainable to be repressive in that way. permalink fedilink source parent
