    If you want a fairly recent on the group English perspective then check out the YouTuber Bald and Bankrupt. China is harder as most YouTubers there are paid propaganda. Maybe check out YouTubers laowhy86 and serpentza as they lived in China for over a decade and then had to run. Interesting takes for all 3 above. What I find most interesting is that most of their criticisms can also be levied on their home countries if you can get past the fog.

      I don’t even mind like actual footage that serves as CCP propoganda or or if theres a reenactment type show like how the Sopranos obviously isn’t a recording of a real mafia gang, but rather so close that actual gangsters wondered who talked, aha.

      Laowhy and serpentza are racist dirtbags grifting off all the China hate that’s everywhere in the west. They had to run for a reason, and that reason was that they were and are spreading hate speech.

      Katherine’s Journey to the East, Li Jingjing, or Daniel Dumbrill will much more accurately present life in the different parts of China.
