I’m following current situation, as far as possible without access to local sources. If you want to drop these, with at least a basic translation/explanation in English it would be interesting. Often-times information published in the west misses the cultural context - ie. we can translate the words, but don’t know if for example a protest is important, because of it’s form, or that it’s rare.

I’ve been to Shanghai a few years ago, visited a few other, mostly industrial, places on a ‘business trip’. I understand and sympathise with your sentiment, but also think that even with it’s dictatorship and mass brainwash it’s still not the worst place on earth, sadly. Also I don’t think submitting to any nationalism is a solution. It’s what led Japanese people to extreme atrocities towards Chinese, Koreans and latter others during WWII.

Anyway, I guess as long, as you keep away from blatant right-wing/capitalist propaganda you’re free to use this space to discuss and inform about China. Interested to see how that develops. One thing tho, would be not to assume who’s reading, and what their ideologies are. I follow the ideology represented most famously by M. Bookchin and A. Ocalan, there are many anarchists here, but also others, and we expect basic respect towards each other.
