    As someone who legitimately has family in China and who visits them and speaks to them in Mandarin, there is 100% a chilling effect caused by CCP autocracy.

    But I am eager to hear how a bunch of people who have never been and don’t speak the language know more about this because they read a pamphlet.

      Yeah, as someone who merely visited I got enough eyefulls and earfulls to know you don’t want the Chinese government to know you exist for any reason.
