Just a question out of curiosity, is it very difficult to emigrate from China to another country and reach some legal status?
Discussion
Of course, it is difficult for Chinese people to go abroad.
Passport border control.
I can't go abroad.
In Cuba it happens to us similar to what you say, the solution we have is to emigrate to the USA that is nearby and ask for asylum. It's not an easy trip but living like this is difficult.
The Chinese are more miserable than the Cubans.
CCP uses Internet technology to monitor ordinary Chinese people and monitor the whereabouts of all Chinese people.
Stay strong, I know that one day we will move forward and leave totalitarianism behind, Nostr is helping us 💜
There is one "small" difference between Cubans and Chinese. China is the world's first economy, while Cuba is not even in the top 100.
In Cuba, people often have no jobs, no prospects for their own business, they cannot even climb the political ladder.
Yes they are not monitored with technology, simply because the country is incapable of creating the technology.
Yeah, like... everywhere. You can easily leave China for Russia, Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan, and from there you can go anywhere you want via Turkey or directly. You may be prohibited from leaving China only if you are a bearer of state secrets or a member of the military.
During the epidemic prevention and control in 2022, 90% of Chinese people's passports were controlled. Buy an outbound ticket.
They can't board the plane.
I wasn't talking about the airplane, I was talking about the land border 😅 And the Chinese are definitely crossing it otherwise there is no way to explain the millions of Chinese in Russia and Kazakhstan.
No matter where the Chinese go, they must go to the Bank of China to exchange US dollars.
How can Chinese people go abroad without US dollars?
Smuggling to the United States also needs to bring U.S. dollars for meals.
The Bank of China prohibits ordinary Chinese people from exchanging U.S. dollars.
Don't tell me these fairy tales 😂 All the Chinese I know get both dollars and bitcoin without any problems. If there is demand, there will be supply. Not to mention that in Russia and Kazakhstan, many banks simply accept yuan.
In a particularly extreme case, there is always a local with dollars and bitcoins who will gladly work with your "wallet" and solve problems with businesses and authorities. Yes, it's expensive, but if you're too lazy to figure it out yourself, it's acceptable.
China's so-called Bitcoin wallet is a scammer.
I will never believe the Bitcoin wallet tool developed by the Chinese.
A channel for defrauding money.
As long as Internet product executives are developed by Chinese, they are not safe, and they are related to the CCP National Security Bureau.
So tomorrow a Chinese guy will write a great Nostr relay, you won't use it because it's Chinese and the guy is a communist or secretly related to the CCP.
There is a huge amount of excellent open source software in China, moreover, the most effective tools of overcome the restrictions we use in Russia are written by the Chinese.
Yes, Chinese online services do work with the authorities, but you're very naive if you think it's any different in the US and Europe. Even Proton leaked data at the first request of the authorities.
It is strictly forbidden to exchange US dollars.
China is short of US dollars and has no foreign exchange reserve funds. Ordinary Chinese are prohibited from going abroad before their passports are controlled.
CCP has recently overprinted RMB, and M2 has reached 280 trillion yuan.
The RMB has depreciated too fast. It's horrible 😱.
Prices are ridiculously high, and the historical tragedy of 500 million people losing their jobs and starving to death is staged in China.
Stepping out of an electric car into a high-speed train, you have no idea how people live in Cuba. There are no shopping malls, no Sichuan cuisine, no modern factories. Australia does not export all its wheat there, Europe does not buy all its clothes from Cuba.
Cuba in the 19th century. Only medicine there is still more or less at an acceptable level. Sure, China is big, and it has richer regions and less rich regions, but I'm sure even the poorest Chinese region earns more than all of Cuba.
