I’ve lived in China now for almost a month, and when walking about you will see many political slogans plastered everywhere including stuff about socialist construction and great rejuvenation. The thing I see the most however is the ‘socialist core values’ which list the following:

富强、民主、文明、和谐 prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony 自由、平等、公正、法治 freedom, equality, justice, the rule of law 爱国、敬业、诚信、友善 patriotism, dedication, integrity, friendship

I always found these a bit weird and I don’t really understand their purpose and I also don’t quite see why they should be plastered everywhere. I have some ideas but I would like to hear all of your guys’ opinions.

Btw, I don’t need a vpn to access lemmygrad funnily enough

    You don’t need a vpn for smaller sites in China, whether they’re revolutionary or reactionary.

      Yeah, Afaik, its more of a blocklist rather than an allowlist system. So not really an iron curtain like western media portrays the great firewall to be like.
