Hi @cupidzero, I am writing a book on my 10 years in China (as a foreigner). There will be plenty in there and I intend to post a lot of it here on Steemit from it. There's good, bad, ugly here. All of it. China is a country you love and hate all at once. As for the CCP, they are a mere speck in the wind of this 5,000 year old civilization; for the moment, I will let that statement speak for itself. If you want to know the pinnacle of Chinese civilization, study the Tang. Han was up there. Although from 1,000+ years ago, they were much more advanced then in so many ways and in so much wisdom.
