I guess I was right in being suspicious of western urbanists who were always deafeningly silent on massive projects in China but won’t shut up for weeks about the Dutch king taking a bike-shaped shit. This is how they respond when they are forcibly confronted with the topic.

    When you get to the bottom of it with these people, “criticism is prohibited” almost invariably means “it’s illegal to overthrow the government”.

    • Plus it’s always from arrogant as fuck Westoids who think they should be allowed to visit China and make snide comments about “West Taiwan”, wear Free Hong Kong t-shirts in Tiananmen Square while asking their tour guide how many people died there. Then they invariably get in shit with the law there and complain about freeze-peach and how it’s impossible to “criticize the government” there
