Lol you lemmygrad people hate hearing from people who have actually lived and worked in China.

No it's very interesting actually, when it's relevant. You claimed that Chinese people didn't have freedom of movement, then went rambling on about how Chinese people do have freedom of movement.

If he tried to buy an airplane ticket it’s possible he would have been denied.

You just pulled that out of your ass though, didn't you?

Riding a jetski across open ocean is pretty dangerous and not preferable.

But it gets you in the news. It was a stupid gimmick and you know it.

So maybe it was a stunt but… Risky move.

So we're in complete agreement.

China stopped issuing new passports in recent years.

Jesus christ man. Use your brain.

It’s possible that the guy’s passport expired

Pathetic.

I mean, it's obvious that you have no idea WTF daily life is like in China. I just ran down a list of possibilities and explained how travel works in China and you just posture like a bratty toddler.

Why do you feel a need to knee-jerk glorify and defend a nation-state you've never lived in or associated with? I didn't even badmouth the place, simply described a facet of life in China without hyperbole

You were caught lying about Chinese people not having freedom of travel. You're going to have to learn to accept that.

Because it's a target of the USA. Simples.

simply described a facet of life in China without hyperbole

A completely irrelevant facet of life that had nothing to do with what we were talking about.

You have a bizarre definition of freedom of travel

Although I suppose on a grander scale, nobody truly has freedom of travel. But it's rare for citizens of a nation-state to need to be granted access to other cities and provinces... So on a relative scale, they don't. I'm not sure how you can say otherwise 🤔
