    our chinese journalist are goverment employee,
    all media are state media.
    some non-gov news website owned by citizen are not allowed to interview.
    it is criminal to interview if you are not state media journalist .

    imigrate to western country need 6 millions dollars at least(investment imigration) .
    it is a huge number to normal people who earns 500-1000 dollars per month.
    only richest corrupt goverment officer ,big boss and super star can afford this huge money.
    chinese don't like the poor country like vietnam,we wont imigrate to there.
    the reason rich chinese imigration are not chasing freedom , the reason is safety ,safety fo life and property.
    lots of chinese celebrity still earn money in china .
    they keep their chinese citizenship while their kids imigrate to western country.
    like Yao ming ,Yi jian lian...

    my line of thinking was more business freedom. in a country like Laos, although much poorer than vietnam, many of their fmg & f&b businesses are foreign investments.

    also vietnam within the last decade has drastically climbed up the economic charts. however i dunno how much better they are politically than china. my guess is pretty much the same.

    2012,a poor chinese woman with her dead fetus ,
    the local goverment forced her aborted with violence.after then .let her lie down with her dead baby.
    in china .breeding 2 kids or more is criminal accordding 'plan to breed policy ' law.
    in china birth number is the KPI of goverment officer.

    At first, I was upset that it was Morey that made the tweet because he rocked the boat and everyone was going to resent him and the Rockets. Now I'm glad the tweet came from him. We're not China's team anymore. I'm glad someone in the Rockets organization actually said something whereas everyone else has voluntarily shut their mouths. Fans from all teams are standing behind his words. I'm still a Rockets fan and glad as hell I'm not a Brooklyn fan.

    Now a bunch of Chinese fans will have to stop rooting for the Rockets or possibly even the rest of the NBA. I hope the CCP completely bans the NBA so they can come to grips with the fact that their government censors literally everything they see. They banned South Park, DJ Zedd, Winnie the Pooh. Who cares? When something they actually like gets banned maybe they'll start complaining and we can actually get change over there.

    This is a complicated political topic. There is no definition of a country that is universally agreed upon. The term is used in different contexts with different senses, both formally and informally. One related notion in a formal context is called a "sovereign state", but even the definition of that is not universally agreed upon. It is widely accepted that a sovereign state should have a permanent population, a defined territory, a government, and the capacity to enter into relations with other sovereign states. Some theories require a sovereign state to be recognized by others while other theories do not. In the case of Taiwan and ROC, most regard it as a de facto state that has limited worldwide diplomatic recognition because of PRC. Some countries keep informal cultural and economic relationships with ROC but most do not have formal diplomatic relationship with it. Different international organizations adopt different policies towards ROC, which is mostly called "Chinese Taipei" where it is accepted. All in all, the political status of Taiwan and ROC is controversial and it is up to you how you want to interpret it.

    Technically, the kids of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian are granted US citizenships simply because they were born in the US. That is different from immigration. They can choose to give up the US citizenships and become Chinese citizens before they are 18 years old. Considering that getting US citizenships is much more difficult for them, their parents choose to keep the US citizenships and leave the option of becoming Chinese citizens open before 18 years old.

    By the way, I heard that these days the CCP has had increasing awareness of the issue and government officials that have a kid with a non-Chinese citizenship have a lower chance of getting promoted.
