Cousin tells me she wants to bring all her kids to China for a trip sometime in the future, especially since quarantine measures are dropped now. Her kids who were standing there, all in their 20s, all got a weird and uncomfortable look on their faces lol

That cousin’s husband told me that soon would be a good time to go “before it starts getting crazy there in 4 or 5 years”. I was too tired to pretend to be interested and inquire further on wtf he read in the news/internet and thought was gonna happen

That same guy was talking to another family member who immigrate here from China. She was saying some shit about how CPC’s public education brainwashes people because they don’t want people to know “the truth”. Then said that the US, Russian, and Chinese governments are all secretly banding together to control the world and prevent people from finding out “the truth”. I only overheard bits here and there but these two were talking about China for at least 2 hours. I wonder what other crazy shit she told him

Obviously, this was in a Western country

I worked with someone’s whose mom was an immigrant from China. I guess it was getting harder for her mom to travel around or something when she visits family there. She always said China has turned fascist. Her cousin also got questioned by the police and released for being at the Hong Kong protests. In my head “well yeah, if you participate in protests that are calling for the independence of Hong Kong, you’re at least going to get questioned”. But in fascist China they just let everyone go. Galaxy brain takes.

Yeah, this is always a good time for a reminder that there are still people in jail, paying debts and/or on probation for the BLM protests, some serving sentences that are a quarter as long as a dude who murdered someone. Real ‘equivalent crimes’ happening here
