To be honest, China might be quite different from what you’ve heard or imagined. It’s true that people in China can’t openly insult the government or the ruling party, but other countries also have their own sensitive topics. For example, in many Western countries, it’s not acceptable to speak freely about religion, gender, or race. It’s also true that the average person in China can’t freely access foreign websites. But in reality, if you have some basic technical knowledge and are willing to pay a bit, it’s not difficult at all. I understand that many people are concerned about the widespread surveillance cameras in China, but the truth is, these cameras make everyday life much safer for ordinary people. Privacy does come at a cost, and if you’re not doing anything wrong, sacrificing a bit of privacy for the sake of security can be worth it. Of course, this is just my own personal and humble opinion.
Before Bitcoin trading was banned in China, the BTC/CNY trading volume was actually much higher than BTC/USD. Several of the largest crypto exchanges today were founded by Chinese people. Bitcoin adoption in China is low due to trading restrictions, but many still hold it. Meanwhile, Hong Kong is actively developing in the crypto space.
I’m not sure, haha. China has over a billion people, so most of the time, no one really cares about what you say, haha. But if you're a public figure and insult the government, you might get into trouble.
First of all, I really appreciate that you referred to it as COVID-19 and not the "Wuhan Virus." As an ordinary person, I can only say that I don’t know what caused COVID-19. It could be China, the U.S., or even nature itself. I don’t want to listen to conclusions from the media of any country, whether it’s China’s or the U.S.'s. If a more authoritative medical institution steps forward with evidence, and it turns out China is responsible, I’ll stand with you in criticizing China. But without evidence, our discussion is meaningless.
