Young Western social media users are embracing a “very Chinese time” of their lives, and China’s government is keen to use this moment to boost the country’s cultural influence worldwide.
Are you sure? Something tells me that their conclusion that there’s nothing worthwhile in a country of 1.4 billion people that covers nearly a quarter of the largest continent on earth, with 5,000 years of history, and incredibly varied ecosystems, architecture, cultures, and landscapes might be biased. But I don’t want to be uncharitable.
They say they went all over. Its hard to imagine they didn’t go to at least 1 cool place.
The only not-awsome places I experienced were small rural border towns with nothing to do and pretty bad construction quality. Even they had decent, suprisingly diverse food.
Mainland China is also ruled entirely by an authoritarian regime whose presence is extremely notable to those tourists who aren’t interested in putting blinders on. For some people, that’s crap.
I’ve travelled all over China, it’s crap. You can’t fool me.
??? Was this before like 2010?
Its a wonderful country, I’m returning in like a week.
They’re the lead dev of PieFed, super biased from what I understand of them.

China is fucking huge, maybe Rimu was in like a shitty part of it, while you visited somewhere awesome?
