I wonder if there is any point at which China starts to look more appealing…? I know that’s easy to say as someone with no experience in China, but we are speedrunning the dystopian shit here.
if you do want to leave, it can be worth studying your family tree to see if there are any recent immigrants.
Family tree. 👀
I was born in China, I don’t wanna go back.
I could theoretically try to recover citizenship, but nah, there is a reason why we left in the first place.

I have -99999 social credits at birth
Reason: The crime of being the illegal 2nd child born in violation of the One Child Policy
Punishment: You now must have at least 3 children to fix the declining population/birthrate

Depends on your overall score. If you’re currently in the black, you’re a little closer to being able to buy plane and rail tickets. If you make it to the red list, you might even get “reduced administrative burdens” which I think is a euphemism.

Its funny how my mother has did some arranged marriage thing for my older brother and… basically I overheard some talks about visas and that he was going back to China for marriage or something (相親 is the term for it I think), and by marriage, I assume they’re gonna live in the US since all the family assets are here. Like they already exchanged WeChats… I have no idea how that’s gonna go, dude has no social skills, probably worse social skills than me lmfao.

I did notice your username, so I suspected this might not apply to you, but maybe it’ll be helpful to someone.
All I can really offer you is ‘good luck, hang in there and this too shall pass’, which is probably not a lot of comfort.
