I was born in China so I think I have a right to talk about it
Oppressive government, yes absolutely.
The CCP tried to stop me from being born because I was the 2nd child in my faily and they forcibly sterilized my mother for violating one child policy.
Hukou System effectively being “internal border control” system that would deny you rights if your ancestry is rural.
I was born in Guangzhou City, same as my older brother, my parents worked in Guangzhou, but we were denied the right to be enrolled in their public schools (that’s after the one child policy fine has already been paid) because we inherited our parents Taishan (rural) Hukou so parents had to pay for some shitty privately-run school which was worse than public ones. 2nd class resident BS, just like the US’s system of exploiting undocumented immigrants, except PRC does this to its own citizens.
You can ackowledge multiple government’s oppression simultaneously. It’s not a competition of “which is more oppressive”, both can be at the same time.
