I have been banging on for ages that the reason I am glad I am out of China, is that things changed for the worse during his presidency. Going backwards, not forwards, with admiring Mao and Marx, and becoming more like North Korea, not more open and progressive.

Meanwhile, in the land of the enemy of China:

Seems every single country (including Taiwan, and yes, it is a country!) are far more progressive than China will ever be.
