China is a populated country that is home to over 1 billion people. No, China does not arrest you or put you to jail for speaking up. (I have lived there for 6 years).
China has a long 5000-year
history and successfully controlled COVID-19 because people actually stayed home during lockdown.
It is not what some people think, that everything made there is bad (If it is very cheap, it is likely that it is not good quality, but if it is at a decent price, then it should be good quality. Make sure to read reviews though, if you are shopping online and make sure you know what it is.), that you are not allowed to speak up for yourself (not the case, you can say whatever you want in China), that China is still a country based on agriculture. (it is now mostly based on technology)
However, it suffers from some corruption, lots of propaganda and is also very crowded. It is also very polluted.
Another thing about Chinese people is that they
work hard to accomplish. Chinese
parents are usually very strict because they want their
children to succeed in life, to
work a
job with good pay without much physical
work. Chinese schools are strict because they want the best for the
children, as they would be people who
work for the country later in life.
Whether you choose to like or dislike, that is your choice, because what you are reading here is the truth about China.
