What you said about the public safety in China is very interesting. Western media and governments have been condemning China for the prevalence of surveillance cameras, accusing the Chinese government of violation of human rights and using them as the means of totalitarian oppression and control. Meanwhile, response from the Chinese citizens and foreigners living in China has largely been that they have no issue with the supposed loss of privacy. In fact, the response has generally been that they love those cameras because they make the whole place very safe, as you said.

If you r afraid of the government watching you on the streets, then u probably should stay at home 24/7, bc PEOPLE r watching you if you go outside. The government isnt watching u when you r at home having an orgy with your neighbor's dog. I mean, why the west is so freak out of security cameras, when cars, homes, like literally, there r security cameras everywhere.

The west misuse the data they gather. Not just for legitimate surveillance. We saw that with many western companies and their governments. That's a fact. So it's natural they would think that China would do the same. They are wrong. China is clear that surveillance data is for surveillance, and only used for criminal and terrorism investigation.

Oh man. My friend and I went to China for some travels in 2018 (Guiling, Zhangjiajie, Suzhou, Hangzhou and a bit of Shanghai) and we have been dying to go back for some more but due to Covid it's obviously not happening. Anyways, whenever she asks me "where do you wanna go after Covid's over" I'm like "China, for sure." The infrastructure is just so good. When we traveled around US we realized for some reason their cross state trains are slower than car travels (and we weren't keen on driving ourselves in a foreign place) so...after eating away our shock, we had to take planes.

Was in Shanghai few years back, what you said was spot on. Convenience, metro, safety etc . I took the metro from tourist attraction 'Yue Garden' to airport which took an hour or so and cost me 7 RMB.. couldn't believe how cheap it was.

You will have different scenery in different seasons in the same place in China. Ancient poets would write poems on the same lake because of different seasons, because they felt different feelings. Heilongjiang in winter is different from Heilongjiang in summer, and so on. The most amazing thing is that when you visit some landscapes, you will learn about some different histories. Because of China's long history, everything becomes interesting.

Happy New Year. Wish you are making good progress on your research. Your list is both uplifting and depressing. You listed things that we don't have in Canada but would be really nice to have, and most likely will not be here for years. Can't wait for the pandemic to be over and visit China again.
