Is this about China or the UK? I think there are some things you can say in China but not in the UK, provided it doesn’t regard the authorities

This is about the entirety of the West, mainly the Germanic/Anglo-Saxon countries. Idk how it goes in China, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it weren’t that dissimilar.

Not just the Chinese. The rest of the world said, “Sure, Jan.”
