- Comment on China’s new language law to criminalise advocacy of ethnic minority rights 3 hours ago:
It is a really racist and dictatorial policy:
The new law was needed to provide better legal safeguards for the party’s “ethnic work” in order to “maintain the security and stability of China’s border regions and ethnic regions […]
and
[there is] “no way” that non-Han people would be able to safely express “any type of discontent without being accused of being essentially separatists or terrorists."

- Comment on How the "Kill Line" Redefined the American Dream in China 1 week ago:
Well at gunpoint to choose one to live in, I’d sure pick China without much pondering.
Really? When do you leave?
Just look at the linked website and you will see that literally all article by this author echo the Chinese government’s propaganda narratives without providing verifiable and independent sources (OP’s post history has the same propaganda spin).
Xi Jinping has been advocating against social welfare on many occasions arguing that it would make people ‘lazy.’ It comes as no surprise that China’s social system is far behind compared to European countries, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and many others. Inequality has also been rising in China in the last 10 years and is much higher than in all Western countries.
There is also ample evidence that China’s future for a fairer social system is bleak under the current regime as social and health policies are heavily skewed toward the urban, formal, and state sectors. As one report says,
In a system devoid of free elections, and where agriculture and rural areas have only a weak bureaucratic voice, farmers and migrant workers have minimal political clout and remain politically inactive at the national level. Consequently, social and health policies are heavily skewed toward the urban, formal, and state sectors, which are the loudest, best connected, and most articulate groups in Chinese society.
This bias is perpetuated by a political regime that places a high premium on maintaining stability … Autocratic leaders deliberately uphold a social welfare regime biased toward government officials and urban employees in the state sector and providing only limited social welfare to other urban dwellers and rural workers in the informal sector […]
Looking forward, as economic growth slows and the burden of providing the necessary social services for the elderly mounts, the expansion of the Chinese welfare state is likely reaching its limits.
And this report highlights just one major weakness of China so-called welfare system. Framing China as a welfare state, even if just better than the US, is a very bad joke.

Alarming Statistics: Retractions and China’s NSFC Sanctions Rock Chinese Academia
China leads global retractions, with studies showing 40% of biomedical papers tainted by misconduct per surveys. In 2025, NSFC [National Natural Science Foundation of China] disclosed multiple batches: 26 cases in April (plagiarism, data forgery) and 25 in July, affecting top institutions. 96 By early 2026, another 46 sanctions linked to 20 universities emerged.
- 2023 Hindawi: 8,200+ Chinese-linked retractions out of 9,600 total.
- NSFC 2025: 51 sanctions, including 11 proposal plagiarisms.
- Medical universities: 14.81% lack public RM [research misconduct] investigation records.
These figures underscore pressure from ‘publish or perish’ metrics at elite ‘Double First-Class’ universities, where 15% report incidents.

- Comment on State censorship shapes how Chinese chatbots respond to sensitive political topics, study suggests 1 week ago:
… a more useful study …
What is a ‘more useful study’? The researchers tested a hypothesis, and the result is clear.
There are many other studies. A comparison of how different authoritarian countries approach this issue would also be very interesting, but this is absolutely valued research imo.
- Comment on State censorship shapes how Chinese chatbots respond to sensitive political topics, study suggests 1 week ago:
I disagree. It just depends what you want to analyze.
This is just another study that proves Chinese censorship regarding LLMs. There’s ample evidence.
The US or anyone else may also censor (if the US hasn’t done so already, I wouldn’t be surprised if they do in the future), but this isn’t an excuse for China.
