Recently came back from there for a week. Thought that place was pretty chill, surprisingly so when compared to the rest of China.

I am just wondering if anyone tried DNing there and what you thought about the place?

Note: no political reasons whatsoever please, I hate politics with a passion. I want pure life/work related response please. Thank you.

    I am WELL AWARE of the politics having lived in Beijing for 2+ years. I simply do not participate in it. There is a difference.

    I simply want to focus on Hangzhou as a place, that is it.

      « OP, come to jail now » « Sorry officer, I don’t participate in politics »

      …. Politics is the #1 cons of china, were not talking about petty stuff - now its policies that directly affects your day to day. Kinda hard to put aside.

      If you don’t mind these policies sure china is fine. But there is a difference between accepting them and « not participating »

      You can’t just “opt out” of Chinese politics lol it touches on every area of life even when it comes to something as simple as reliable internet access which is obviously pretty important for people in this sub.
