I thought it was a great article until you started talking positively about China. 50 Cent Army confirmed.

HAHAHAHAHA, this made me smile. Thanks for that. I had to look up what 50 Cent Army is. So, apparently my post qualifies. A few things:
  1. I live in a bubble because I stay on campus
  2. I don't like China (or the US). I think most states and governments are shit.
  3. Having said that, I can teach in the US for $50k a year with expenses of $40k a year or work in China at a private international school making $50k a year with expenses of almost $0 (basically just paying for food and travel which is somewhat discretionary).
  4. I signed the contract to work in China before I got heavily into bitcoin and self-sovereignty. But now that I'm here, I'm making the most of it.
  5. Oppression of the state is bigger (by far) for locals than for expats. Case in point, my school's internet network uses a VPN by default so I can use YT for lessons or use telegram to communicate etc, meanwhile a local using a VPN would be a criminal
  6. China is bad yes, also, you probably (at least experientially) know way less about China than you think. Other than big ticket news items.
