April 6th. Today is my fourth day holding Monero. I only have 1.09 Monero, which I bought at 322. Let me tell you where I'm from; I'm from China. The regulations here are very strict. VPNs are not allowed, and of course, even mining is prohibited. Things have loosened a bit now because cryptocurrency is considered your private property as long as you don't participate in money laundering. Would you like to learn more about China? Feel free to ask me.
Hi everyone, because this place offers better privacy, I've decided to start writing my diary here today.

hi @wanq, nice to meet you.
I would like to know exactly how much freedom you have in china? are you able to safely:
- criticise a politician publicly (on social media)
- protest the government publicly
- use open source software that doesn't have ccp backdoors in it
- exchange goods and services without government intervention
- travel within the country
- practice religion
"safely" can mean either it is legal, or it can mean it is illegal but the chances you will be prosecuted are very low.
if you get caught breaking the law (let's say you own an illegal firearm), what will the ccp do to you? do they torture you or just throw you in jail for a long time? do you have trials, and state-provided attorneys if you can't afford your own?
Thank you for your question, which gives me the motivation to write, and on the other hand, I can also ask questions through my answers, so that more people can understand China. I will answer your question truthfully, and the following answer is subjective (empirical):
Q: Publicly criticize politicians (on social media)
Answer: Some parts are allowed, public criticism is allowed, but not insulting, and criticism must be accompanied by evidence and facts. But I have never seen criticism of the current top leaders and national leaders.
Q: Public protest against the government
A: According to the Constitution, citizens have the right to lobby and assemble, but it needs to be reviewed, so I don't think so.
Q: Using open source software without the latter:
A: Absolutely
Q: The exchange of goods and services without government intervention
A: Absolutely. By the way, why not?
Q: Domestic travel
A: Of course, that's your right and freedom to go wherever you want, why not.
Q: Religion
Answer: Ordinary people are allowed, but there can be no cults, and Communist Party members do not allow any religion.
Q: If caught, it will be dealt with in accordance with relevant laws. There should be very few things to compromise, and there have been many scandals exposed in the past ten years, and this phenomenon is decreasing. If you can't afford a lawyer, the state will have a free lawyer.
Thank you for your answers, very insightful. i think sometimes the west has misrepresented china in certain aspects. ironically now the west is becoming closer to what they portray china to be, with age verification laws, dragnet surveillance etc.
