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?

    As long as you’re not associated with a terrorist group like ETIM you’ll be fine. China cares first and foremost that you follow their laws while you’re in China. The US and UK are much more paranoid about background checks of your online activity, it’s them you should be worried about if you ever want to go there, they may even outright hack and scan your phone when you go through security if you’re from a country they don’t like or just look “suspicious”, and we all know what counts as “looking suspicious”…
