I spent 30 years living as a liberal and like every liberal I hated China. I was this annoying "democracy tho" and "Uyghur tho" type. Now that I'm a communist I really wish to go to China as a tourist, maybe even live there for a while. As a liberal, I reposted a lot of BBC-level propaganda about China on facebook like 5 years ago. Is there any speech I can be punished for in China even though I don't support this reposted stuff anymore? Did anyone here go to China after being a liberal?

The upside is that China is a normal country with normal people in it. It's not one big prison or monitoring hellscape or whatever nonsense liberals believe.

The downside is that China is a normal country with normal people in it. Expect to find people just living their lives and hanging out. Expect to find diverse political opinions, most of which center around a vaguely leftish nationalism. You don't need to be worried about acting incorrectly unless you start physical fights or something.
