    In China, they force people to work in tiny cubes for nine hours a day and people spend their entire childhoods taking high stakes exams for the privilege of working jobs that afford them just enough money to live in tiny apartments in the big cities.

    In China, enormous traffic jams clog major transit ways. The food is foul, the air is thick with smog, and the water is full of toxic chemicals.

    In China, everyone must comply with the government for fear of the brutal police authorities who will throw you in jails that are indistinguishable from concentration camps. Only the very wealthy are allowed to travel from state to state. And the only wealthy people are ones with powerful government patrons.

    In China, there is no freedom. Your Social Credit Score threatens everything you say and do. Your bosses spy on you constantly. You have no civil rights and you only exist to make things for other people.

    I’m glad I don’t live in China. I can’t imagine why anyone would.
