That actually sounds really good ๐Ÿ‘ Would need to read how this works across the pond, but hoping fairly similar.

How does this work if you want to take money out? Like give yourself a bonus that's taxable? I mean legally.

How on earth did this get approved by labour? This is crazy! They were pushing for publicly owned energy company as part of their manifesto and now this? Well this is going to go down even steeper hill

So I have been in Xinjiang, specifically Urumqi in 2010, about a year after there were local tensions and riots (I didn't know about the riots until after I returned home). It was summer and I saw police in full riot gear, in APCs in groups of 10-15 at a time patroling the city. Not roadblocks everywhere, but multiple such patrols. I still felt safe (as a westerner, its super safe).

So there were clear, heavy local tensions. Now you are right about the news we here are obviously one sided. You have to take some critical thoughts about what is likely happening. However inter province travel requires you to present passport when buying a ticket. It's not really a sign of a free and fair society.

I don't keep up with internal Chinese politics beyond vaguely being interested in HK, but seeing what happened there you can make a fair assumption that in the mainland things would be harder for folks who don't fall in line.

I suppose they are also offering some kind of guided meditation as well as meals? I mean yeah it sort of sounds expensive, but also you do have designer handbags and jewellery that gets ridiculous prices.

Anyway yeah I stopped doing meetup for a long time and absolutely detest SAAS business models of alot of digital vendors too.
