      You can go and ask if you want, but you will be mocked because of how ridiculously brainwashed you’ll sound.

      Suicide nets installed by a company based in Taiwan that also operates in mainland China at a factory located in a special economic zone, one specially reknowned by people for its liberal policies. A company that China’s own state funded propaganda said was bad, and that the situation was being assessed. If the company was not based in Taiwan it would be a little easier for them to handle because they wouldn’t have to deal with a rabid dog breathing down their neck ready to declare war for even looking at the island. I’m not saying what happened wasn’t terrible, but I am saying you should dig a little deeper than the headlines. I found all of this information on Wikipedia after like 40 minutes of research, but please respond and call me a tanky or CCP bot because it would be pretty funny.

        AFAIK often on Chinese services you’ll get an error like “your message could not be delivered”. Posts managing to discuss forbidden topics might be removed without warning, or just be silently hidden so they don’t reach new people.

        The goal is not so much to prevent anything from ever talking shit about the government, but to make those conversations difficult and to stop them from reaching a wide audience.

        I just tried, you get cool videos about Uyghur culture

        You should make an account and talk with them, it’s very rewarding!

        that’s probably immediately censored and your account banned… but i think it’s worth a shot
