Its actually impossible to read billion comments in a lifetime, let alone in the short time you have been on Earth. Besides, I doubt billion of Chinese commented to you. Well, most of Chinese dont even have internet.

I think part of the issue with this, and not just in China, is that if you ask 10 people what socialism means, you will get 20 different answers. You can get progressives to agree that "we need more socialism," but then they will argue over whether x, y, and z is actual socialism.

• Socialist ideological education isn't being done well enough. They fit a set of information so expansive in one semester that nothing is being explained clearly enough from the average teacher to the average student. Thus, many people's understanding of socialism even after graduating college stalls at "china good, socialism good, marx good, america bad" and some disconnected buzzwords picked on the night before the finals. Most college students agree that this class is taught like crap and complain about it.
  

I have seen evidence of them forcing uygher women to marry non uygher men to wipe them out slowly, arrests for reading the Quran etc.

However I have seen how Muslims treat non Muslims in predominantly Islamic countries and I do not blame China for mitigating that risk, despite them denying it and despite how abhorrent most westerners find it

PM him. He's earned my respect for posting it at all but if he is concerned about his safety in any way than we can at least mitigate any harm by deleting it before it is up too long. Pretty sure this site is below the radar of the cpc though.

• The main form of moderation done here is not that they let the cops storm your house once you posted something sensitive. The main form is that an online filter, accompanied with moderators, deletes any post with sensitive topics in them. They will only fine & arrest you if you actively spread lies to the general public even in place of the filter.
  
• Most things discussed here are daily matters of complaint on Bilibili and Zhihu and similar platforms used across the country. If they are not outright removing like 15% of all posts in a nationwide platform, I should be fine here. I am not "twisting" narratives unlike Adrian Zenz has been consistently doing for the past decade. I am merely stating stuff that is virtually common across almost all users of internet here and has been restated through tens of thousands of mouths.
  
• Also, most of China has internet(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_in_China). We use our tax for that as well. If anyone is more concerned about tax, I think corruption within the system should be a MUCH BIGGER concern than anything else. Yes, even you Americans. Especially you americans.
  

@Adreamofliberty Other facts of interest being the 60 million people communism killed through starvation.

This problem is rampant in most of Asia in general though western countries go too far in the other direction

@Savant There have been allegations of waterboarding, compulsory sterilizations, and forced labor.

• The Gaokao is inhumane, and so is the Zhongkao. Zhongkao is kinda like Gaokao Jr., where you take it at the end of 9th grade. It is considered to be even more important in a student's life, especially in resource-lacking provinces such as mine (which is why I decided to go to an international department of an HS, do AP courses and go to the US for college). In extreme cases, only less than 50% of Zhongkao takers are eligible for any high school at all. Rest of them either has to go to a technical training school (where because most people there are neither academically accomplished nor morally well-behaved, rendered them virtually useless in society and looked down upon throughout the entire society) or even worse, has to start working at or even under minimum wage. But, if you go to a regular high school, it is another prison for 3 years, you are just not sentenced to community service. This creates social divide, and nobody has fun.
  
• Colleges in China have barely any campus culture. Well, maybe except for those toppy top ones like Tsinghua. Most people are simply too burned out from Gaokao to strive for actual greatness in college. In fact, the admissions system is broken: you decide for the major AFTER gaokao which transpired about 5 days ago, and annually. I applied to US universities so I know how important it is to have a major in mind at least by the start of senior year(this is already as late as it should be humanly possible). Result? Prefroshes don't know what they actually like to study and go into fields that make money without loving the field. Another reason why they slack.
  
• They push the 3-child subsidy even through PSA advertisements on streaming websites despite nearly nobody wanting to because rent is so high it would be unsustainable for the average family to start 3 kids.
  
• Socialist ideological education isn't being done well enough. They fit a set of information so expansive in one semester that nothing is being explained clearly enough from the average teacher to the average student. Thus, many people's understanding of socialism even after graduating college stalls at "china good, socialism good, marx good, america bad" and some disconnected buzzwords picked on the night before the finals. Most college students agree that this class is taught like crap and complain about it. There is someone who is basically Wylted's idea of me, times 200, teaching this course, named Dr. Ai Yuejin(He literally made fake stories about Chairman Mao), and he was actually considered to be an above average professor at this field! Crazy.
  
• Job culture is toxic. Not only is the working hours not regulated enough, competition is so extreme that people with a Masters are applying for menial jobs and people with just a Bachelor's are jobless because of that. Many people are inclined to get a Masters of a Doctorate just to get a job rather than out of the pleasure of learning. 
  
• Nepotism runs rampant. A PI scolded his grad students because he trusted them to help with his daughter's project in a middle school competition and did not win. Soon it was discovered that a lot of the projects there were done due to nepotism. This was far from the only case.
  
• Parents are toxic and make kids no-life all the way until college. Ramifications explained above.
  
• Dining ettiquete, where employees must be completely submissive to their bosses to the point there are tutorials on how to effectively overdrink and how to say stuff in a way that pleases your boss. This exists even in the research settings with one's higher ups. Here is a joke here: If Hawking was working in China, he would be demoted for not knowing how to give a toast!
  
• Moving holidays around so for every extended break you would get quite a few 6-day workweeks if not 7. This should not be allowed. (Cue Anakin from Ep. 3)
  
• The music industry went south quickly in the last 20 years to the point where a small singer from the United States was able to sweep a national level music competition aired on TV.
  

You defend China and I think they have a lot of issues. 

1. Dont eat too much food, eat just small meals, eat twice a day

Too much food causes you to be less happy. Overeating might feel good while you eat, but overall, eating less feels better.

considering China's active genocide of the Uygher people.

That's right. I don't have criticism for China.

If you are a 100% straight man who hates Trump, then it doesn't matter how much you hate MTG and like Bernie Sanders, you would rather start a family with Jewish Space Laser MTG than Bernie Sanders.

Forests don't stall climate change by any hypothetical mechanism that stands the test of logic, nor does litter accelerate it.

People argue that with enough funding that you can cure/treat cancer which saves people’s lives.  By arguing climate change is unsolvable, you are saying no amount of money thrown at the problem will solve the problem.  So why complain about it?
