you can sort of tell that facebook is a company of no principles from its adulatory attitude towards Chinese government and its censorship policies.

What I have been seeing is the decline of the United States.
That's said, I'm worrying about China a lot more. I think it's on track to repeat the mistakes it had done before.
You often see articles here saying China will surpass the States in A.I. and science. I doubt it. I doubt a country without freely accessible information will be competent. I doubt true intellectuals would like to live in a place like this. soviet union was an example.
I used to get angry at these things (censorships, corruptions). But now I'm tired, not because China is clearly drifting away from what I want it to be, but because I saw many fellow Chinese really believe in government propaganda, and justify its wrong doings. They have the Stockholm syndrome, decorating a nightmare into a beautiful dream (of China being the new world leader and all the censorship shit is necessary to fence off the invasion of western culture. such a bullshit!). And there are also many others who simply don't care.
Now I just want to hide somewhere and mind my own things.
Who will be replacing the States? Europe is weak and is at its bottom, Russia is no better than China. Maybe Australia or Canada.
