Gen Z protests, global sumud solidarity, china opening up, my views have shifted a lot in mere days, maybe it’s not so bad.

    i thought about this as well recently, but then again so long as the absence of vanguard parties persists im not sure we’re gonna be seeing any more than the same old spontaneity and emergency protests methinks, in my area at the very least the “communist” parties resign themselves to plastering their newspaper on walls and calling China capitalist

    but it sure feels like the frequency and intensity of happenings has been accelerating recently i agree

      The tourist visa policy has also opened up significantly in recent months, and you can now even use your Chinese tourist Visa to go to Vietnam as well, for 60 or 90 days depending on where you got the Chinese visa. Not really weeks, but it’s definitely doing some opening up.

      I was referring them to allowing the immigration of STEM workers, those who have bachelor’s degrees, as far as I know it was very difficult to become a Chinese citizen previously and their new policy is very liberal in contrast, actually, it’s more liberal than nearly every other country

      Sorry, can’t provide a link, but there have been a posts about it (was it called H2B?)
