Hi sorry about initial blank body, hit enter key again in title by error.

I have noticed the absence of posts by Chinese members here on ATS.

I do not mean chinese by ethnicity or descent, but actual Chinese members posting their thoughts and opinions from China.
I would like to genuinely know how things are in mainland China.
It may be educational.
Sort of like an aquaintace thread with an up and coming world superpower .

You have awoken me with your profound knowledge.

Oh wait that was just gas. Please come back when you truly have something to say.

Why such a sour welcome to clearly a foreigner to english language and thus the standards of this forum. HERRO ASIA

their internet is SO heavily monitored ever there. the gov't literally runs it. i dont even think they get google, but ill have to research. i hear one way they post on non chinese sites is by using proxies and tor. but yea, id love to hear how things are goin over there from non msm.

Oh so the nation that supplies the goods we are buying by th ebillions of units, the nation that is welcoming western nations outsourcing companies into its bosom is a dictatorship?
Or is this just western anti communist propaganda?
I mean there are over 1 billion mainland chinese, and not one of them is a member on ATS?
Whats the odds of that?
I find it hard to believe the west would trade with such tyrants? if they banned their citizens from using the international internet.
No I believe our leaders would not deal with those who deny fundamental human rights?

There must be Chinese mainlanders here surely?

what kinds of things you want to know about?


maybe i could help.

i live in HK. not anywhere near the same as the mainland, tho.

It is saf.e to assume that on ATS there are no mainland Chinese contributing members?
Lets all light a candle for those living in the darkness?
My thoughts to all the imprisoned in mind and soul .
But hey good news the west want to trade with your leaders and sell them entire tracts of land and mineral wealth, ain't you glad?
The west cares so much about freedom?
One day we may all be free, lets meditate on that.

I live in Mainland China, in Northeastern China. Am an american citizen and have lived here 7 years and absolutely love living here.

Google routes to Hong Kong Google server, social sites such as Facebook and twitter are not allowed, but am thankful for that. Skype, and its Asian counterpart QQ is very popular in China as it saves on phone expenses and allows video conferencing. Ive been posting on ATS for several years and have never had issue accessing or posting on ATS... many Chinese read this site without posting, some stories and posts are very informative, such as the archaeology and religion, space and technology threads.

China is not as oppressive as everyone makes out to be, as long as govt policies are followed there is more personal freedom than in US, which is hard to explain until my friends come to visit and see for themselves. Business is fantastic, 300-400% in real estate appreciation since moving here, without counting the currency increases of Yuan against USD.


anyway just my 2 cents about China...its a wonderful place to live as long as you follow policies.

As long as you follow policy.
Enough said.
You are freer than in the west , but most just read and do not post, lest ye be shot.

The average westerner can tell some wisdom to the average Chinese on this subject....trinkets do not buy freedom, globalisation will make you poorer, sooner than later.
You may crave the electricity, but they will take your rice even and make you beg for it.
