• Every building is a shoddily built hazardous death trap prone to collapsing at any moment

  • Food and consumer products are full of toxic chemicals because no one cares

  • Slavelike working conditions, insane working hours, suicide nets at factories

  • Every citizen is spied on constantly, one wrong thought means they will be dragged off in the middle of the night by the secret police

  • Arbitrary and nonsensical censorship of the media, to quote Mike from RLM on why Ghostbusters 2016 wasn’t available in China “Your Communist government thinks the movie is witchcraft”

  • LGBT people oppressed

  • No regard for the environment, pollution everywhere, pristine nature destroyed to build empty ghost cities for no reason

  • A dystopian inhumane culture where everyone hates each other and has no regard for human life. There were so many Reddit stories about how in China drivers double back to kill pedestrians they hit so they won’t be held criminally liable or because people faking accidents for lawsuits is so common. Also people step over people having medical emergencies on the street for the same reasons

  • Racist and jingoistic

    Watching a western movie in China and certain scenes being two seconds long because there was some sensitive subject mentioned/shown and the censors just cut it without bothering whether the movie now makes sense or not

    Also every Chinese movie with themes of police/government corruption is not set in mainland China but in a “Chinatown” in a fake country in SE Asia, that looks exactly like China and every character speaks perfect mandarin but there’s token street signs or ads in faux thai/vietnamese

    I blame the stuffy boomers
