So then what’s your take on our current administration doing their damndest to emulate your former country?

Big difference:
Half of Americans are resisting
There are near zero resistance in China
There are still anti-trump and anti-republican/MAGA media despite the ongoing autocratization
You cannot find anti-Xi or anti-CCP in China, most people do not have that spirit of resistance, they don’t care
See all these protests, good luck finding them in China, protests in China is rare, and basically no media coverage if it even exists
I will call myself an American for as long as this flame is alive, even if its struggling as of now, its not completely dead yet, there’s still time to fix this. We’re not CCP-land yet. Don’t lose hope, that’s what the rich and powerful want, they want you to give up.

Thanks for your perspective, I think you are spot on. After studying abroad im China 20 years ago the propaganda we have here is converging on being as overt as what I saw there. Hopefully enough Americans course correct before it gets worse.
