Sure, China's got a lot of really cool stuff about it that would be awesome to see. But with the wealth of other countries around the world not operating as full on dictatorships, I'm gonna hard pass on visiting until they sort their shit out (so probably never)

I like how they've suddenly realized that they've made a bad name for themselves around the world by being righteous dickheads so all of a sudden they're softening their rhetoric and expecting everyone to buy it.

The fact that this comment I've made alone might be grounds for arrest there is all that needs saying about it.

First of all you are absolutely spot on. It all depends, people are losing jobs / getting canceled for talking against Israel's atrocities.
