RE: Why Mainland China is Better Than Taiwan!
The internet situation is what bothers me the most. Id say the older generation needs the most amount of control or else nothing would get done here. I think in order for things to change, the citizens need to hold themselves partially responsible for solving problems. The government tries to control so much because the citizens rarely ever take action to solve societal problems themselves. They rely on the government to do everything for them similar to how children rely so much on their parents here.

The "educated" population in China expects government to solve all social problems.
To be fair, its almost the same in every other large country, personal responsibility is becoming quite rare.
Internet censorship is a global problem, almost every major social media personality that goes against the establishment is being deplatformed.
Here is another recent example:
The China model of social control is being considered globally.
The scale of social change that is taking place in China, is unprecedented anywhere else in the world.
There are now indefinite term limits for the highest level government positions, social credit scores, real-time electronic tracking and surveillance systems.
Almost every multinational company has a strong presence in China, or will be forced to in the future.
It reminds me of the "Borg" on Star Trek.
