Are you calling Chinese police similar to Nazis….? I’ve never had a bad interaction with one and they’re certainly not fascists

That's a fairly complex topic. The big take away is that the Chinese government isn't exactly loved by a lot of people.

It’s a joke. Look at the username.

Edit: saw the reply, doesn’t look like a joke now

A lot of westerners, sure. The vast majority of Chinese would disagree since they’re 1-2 generations away from poverty. Depending on the city most grandparents have zero education, parent may have gone to middle school, then current gen has shot for the stars. Chinese government can be unfair, but no one can argue they didn’t make everyone’s lives materially better
