Chances this commenter is an (insular, ignorant, insecure) US American ?
(Just one of many in this thread trotting out their tedious CCP! Authoritarianism!! takes)

Ok, so you appear to live in Italy (from whence Marco Polo set off on his travels to the east in the 13th century, demonstrating a far more open mind than yours).
So I was wrong in this instance of guessing your nationality (although I don't think I'm wrong about the majority of similar derisory commenters in this thread).
But anyone who drops only a two word "China...LOL" comment in any thread touching on China only proves themselves intellectually moribund and closed minded. China, the country and the civilisation, is eminently worth of study, as has been recognised down through the centuries, and obviously going and living for a time in that country is one good way to learn more about it.

I'm tired of ignorant commenters polluting threads with moronic & bigoted 'LOL' comments like you did here. (And so predictably on a subject like China.) Even so, if you hadn't been zapped 1000 sats and had your idiocy not been mirrored by many other commenters in this thread I may have stayed quiet.
You can write whatever dreck you like, sure, but sometimes ppl will call you out on it. When I described you as ignorant, insular and intellectually moribund, I really meant it. Maybe you should reflect on why ppl perceive you as such when you make utterly puerile 'LOL' comments. Because if you don't stop and reflect you're only going to get more closed-minded as your life goes on, and pollute more and more of the discussions you enter into.

Makes a bigoted comment. Gets called on it. Suggests the person who calls them on it is the one with the 'hate problem'.
All the signs of someone completely lacking in self-awareness.

I wouldn't recommend everyone live in China, it just so happens to be where I am. That's why it's in the section called "My Story". US, China, I'm not a fan of many governments, but since I'm here, saving 75% of my income is definitely not a bad situation to be in. Long term I'd like to be in (cash based) Thailand.
How about you? Do you live somewhere that has a high cost of living?
