Just recognition that some areas have very different expectations and ways of doing things...

I find southern Chinese annoying little whiners, and central Chinese are the most untrustworthy people ever...Lying is just part of life for them...

Up North the Chinese are loud and boastful... They work hard but play harder... Things happen super slow up here because everyone is so relaxed about time...

(lots of northern Chinese go into government.. Southern Chinese prefer business )

Then there are all the autonomous regions...

And the contrast between mega cities and countryside ..

A one size fits all approach just isn't applicable...

Not only scot free, he left his firearm in the bathroom. He has a history of anti Trump social media posts and he was a B*M supporter. All that’s fine but not if you’re a cop. The investigation was not t***sparent and was done in 48 hours. Disgrace.

Here we agree

You know better than me, but I would think that unlike in America local, provincial, and municipal answer to the federal government. Here the feds can remove them for corruption, but mostly they answer to local v**ers. Wouldn't local leaders be encouraged to be overzealous in China so as to impress their federal bosses. They sure wouldn't want to be seen as soft on the locals.

No... Provinces have more autonomy than you'd think... As do municipalities...

They're too culturally diverse for it to be otherwise...

Different strokes for different folks...

That is very debatable.

I agree...

Questions:
Has the Chinese government imposed "ultra-tough C***d measures"?
Are "large parts of the country in lockdown"?
Was the Urumqi unit complex in the western Xinjiang region actually under lockdown when
a fire in the complex k**led 10 people?
Is civil disobedience increasing across the country?
If so, do these include passive protests and outright opposition to the C*******t Party?

Questions.
Who has the answers?

1. Absolutely.. To varying degrees depending on the province and municipality... Some places have never engaged in mask mandates or citywide testing... But the majority of China has been strict...

2. Depends on the area... And changes on a daily basis... Currently a lot of the larger cities are locking down... Central provinces are having issues in the countryside as well...

3. Yes... That complex had been under lockdown for a ridiculous 100 days... And it was only the fire escape that was chained shut... Which was what they needed at the time...

4. No... Not civil disobedience... There are lots of protests, the majority peaceful and patriotic... There have been several where violence or vandalism broke out... They were put down fast...

5. Lots of passive protests... Some quite humorous... I haven't seen any opposition to the Party... Just anger at policies... Mostly directed at local government...

6. Not me.. I'm only getting parts of the picture... Especially with all of the censorship... But that's pretty normal... Age of social media...
