Inspired by the recent c/AskLemmy question about Myanmar.


As a PRC-born ethnic Han-Chinese person who currently is a US Citizen and reside in the US, I’m curious on what people think of my former country.

    Exactly. We don’t know what the USA is right now so the devil you know is always better.

      Oh trust me, I know the devil.

      If I go back to China (which I no longer have citizenship in btw) I would immediately get arrested and jailed for anti-CCP speech while in the US.

      So my choices is stay in the US (which I do have Citizenship in) and possibly get arrested sometime in the future.

      Or attempt to claim jus sanguinis in PRC, which probably wouldn’t work. And I would guaranteed to just end up in prison.

      The truth is, neither the USA nor PRC is some kind of safe haven. The EU is the only remaining safe area left in the world.

        Im sorry, did you or did you not ask people to tell you what they thought of china? You don’t seem very accepting of what other people say if you don’t agree.

        You’re happy in the USA? Good for you. Let’s see for how long. Good luck.
