It’s a dictatorship and there’s plenty of awesome countries that are not dictatorships which I haven’t had a chance to visit yet.
I didn’t say anything was more or less morally bad. I just have zero interest in visiting countries that rank so poorly on freedom indexes and I don’t care if said countries waive visa requirements.
Is the firewall the defining feature of a dictatorship to you?
And if you want to go in on it, every country does. Every country has the ability to order ISPs to block certain websites deemed illegal. Sometimes the government doesn’t even have to do it and providers on their own block certain sites.
Not trying to make a gotcha moment, but have you ever travelled to the US then?
Im from the US and live in the EU
Then why is it that travelling to China specifically is so morally bad, but other countries like the US are fine?

I’m asking why one dictatorship is better than another though.
Hah, which country has a nationwide firewall block on websites like Wikipedia and YouTube?

Alright it’s been fun but I’m done with the tankie sea lioning. Cheers.
