Xi not China. Once Xi and his cronies are removed by the Chinese people (which grows closer each day as his regime continues to fail hence his tightening of controls and more aggression towards his peaceful neighbours) the world will be a much better place.

Umm.....have any of you guys visited or spent a few months in China, just out of interest?

Yes, during the “rule” of Xi too. Lovely country and friendly people, I was shocked about how different the vast number of regions were in culture, food, language, idiosyncrasies, customs. Small rural villages different to large modern cities (just like here in a way). Never was unsafe or felt like I was in an oppressive police state ala North Korea. I was in some Chinese cities doing pub crawls and street drinking with locals which would have seen me in handcuffs in the good ol US of A.

Travel really is the best propaganda debunker in existence.

I rucksacked around for a few weeks in 1985. Very different to today's China. Some parts of the countryside were medieval. Pudong was a few rice paddies and hovels. Guangzhou was growing and modernizing by the day. Xian was about the only place where people didn't stop and stare at me like a cow. lol
I've lived in Taiwan since 1990. Experienced its transformation from a single party state into a democracy.
