China: "not my problem" mentality

[JuiceBeetle]

There are many similarities between Wikipedia and Chinese society: "not my problem" mentality, just persuing individual gains, authoritarianism, false image, that they kill for.

You got it. Social dysfunction is nearly always the same everywhere.

Winston's videos are great, because he's one of the VERY few foreigners who lives there and talks honestly about China's social problems. Yeah, I know the drill, he has to use a VPN or TOR to post because Chinese internet is heavily censored. It still continues to amaze me that he hasn't been shut down. The government knows damn well who he is and what he's doing. And they do the same to all foreigners.

I don't like being Johnny Know-It-All, but Winston Sterzel is in the US now and all that street stuff was shot by his American partner Matthew Tye ("C Milk" aka "LaoWhy86") who is still in Shenzen, with his Chinese wife, half-Chinese child, and obnoxious mother-in-law.

Mr. Tye is also being harassed by the Chinese cops, plus Hong Kong (he's not as good at blogging on the subject as Sterzel is)


Sterzel covered his opinion of HK vs. China months ago
