I am from China. I'm happy and proud to live in China. I feel sorry for those (who thinks) being suppressed by CCP, all in this thread. I respect any ideas people expressing anywhere. It's nothing right or wrong in politics. They're basically games for adults.
Not teenagers.
Teenagers are always being used in these games. They just feel like heroes when they find they can play these games like adults (I believe they pretend being like adults in their day-to-day life). If they win in a quarrel, they feel a sense of accomplishment and self satisfaction. It's just black or white in their worlds. They don't tolerate other voices. (However teenagers do help at some moments. So they are being trained and used all the time in the history.)
IMO these are called mature:
* hear from different voices, do not trust one single voice
* think by own brains, not others
* seeking reasons from both side of one thing, like yin-yang
* all information is suspicious unless you see and feel it by yourself
* love C/C++
