@freemo @lupyuen The people in part didn't like their government, when they going out of China, but who don't love its own country (in the sense of family/friends/habits/food/...), that's no more the case, even if they are more or less defiant to any government, they now think the live is just far better now there than in France as the government listen people and work for general population interest. Where government is 100% corrupted in France and only work for billionaires and destroy public services.

The situation is the same in all country, if you try to critic the current government, you will have calumnious attacks from all the mainstream medias, be silenced or both at the same time. If you didn't tried it you can't understand it. This also including ban on social medias now. Twitter of opposition (like Trump in US, or some left/right party in France, since Twitter France is managed by LREM (president party), or on What's App, as all members of Podemos citizen made party that was blocked in Spain just few weeks before election few years ago.

China follow the path to forbid to critic government, but the result is the same, people continue to speak, people that wants to know, know it, most people ignore it. When there are problems there are demonstrations, even if its forbidden, they do it, and at the end people is listen in China. In France people can make lot of demonstration (I often participated) but are so rarely listened, and now are beaten, mutilated. President Macron asked by 3 times to people+association to gather there point of view on big subject (the first in 2017 about food/agriculture, the second in the beginning of 2020 about governance, and the third at end of 2020 beginning of 2021 about ecology, promising each time to follow most of their choice, and at the end just throwing their colossal well documented work in trash. In China they just experiment improvement at several scales, and when something improve locally, they enlarge the scale, and this method just work fine, as past past decades and present shows. They gained huge space against desert, improved live standard, and progressed so quickly in urbanism, housing, services, transportation, industry, education and sciences. And China share its public knowledge (not personal datas), as Xiangshan processor, probably one of the futur world leader processor, or previous progress of Longsoon on MIPS processors that was ported back to new MIPS processors owner, Imagination Technology.

In Europe several Chinese artists are cited as examples of censorship, like the artist Ai Weiwei, he is still free, he criticized government several times in China, it was enjailed for about 80 days for fiscal evasion. After several years, he goes to Berlin and then say he was not free in Germany, goes to Britain, and now live in Portugal. His wife still live in China. And I see lot of exhibition of Chinese artists in Paris where artists are depicted has against their government and censored, gallerist omitting some parts of the artwork as critic of China during Republic of China, depicting Sun Zhongshan/ Jiang Jieshi time, but they probably know nothing about history of China and just want to sell the rebel against communism art to some millionaires buyers. If you look more deeply about the artist, you will see that s-he lives in China and continue his critical works in China.

More generally in Chinese contemporary art, including in Beijing (including 798 art zone), you will see lot of critic of state or society, the main goal of art is to depict society and make critique of it, isn't it, every society need to improve by new ideas or critiques. But this is done the Chinese soft way, not by frontal attack.
