HiveComb

If you mean this: Social Credit System it seems fine as intended as described by no other than the Washington Post!

I see that there's a huge distrust with everything Chinese, especially on Hive, maybe it has to do with Justin and what he's doing in Steemit, I hope that's not the case as if it is then we should hang every US citizen out dry for the works of some very bad ones, plus what their government does.

However, out of 1.4 or more billion people living in one country, it's very natural to see millions who would disagree, and a considerable number of those turn into activists, especially when pushed to do that by free money printing governments and strong media. I'm not defending China or the Chinese government but can you tell how much is the percentage of dissidents they have with respect to their population? Is it less or more what is there in western countries? Don't forget to add the culture and traditions where respect is a fundamental matter which doesn't exist in the west. You won't see a Chinese opposition paper drawing cartoons mocking their leader, similarly in many Eastern civilizations.

As a Syrian, I never thought I'll see Syrians who would call on NATO to bomb their country so they can get rid of their government and be replaced by some unknown other puppets, they'll be puppets for those who installed them in power, there's no doubt about that. But the current crisis showed there are such people even in Syria, you know what the Syrian societies did to those? Their own relatives considered them outcasts. We don't tolerate treason in my country, and I'm talking about the vast majority of the people. How do you think we were able to stand up all these years? By the help of Russia and Iran? Iran started helping in very shy manner end of 2013, and Russia end of 2015, also in a shy manner. Our army was fighting over 40 open fronts a day continuously since March 2011, the poeple refused to sell their honor, there is not a single Syrian army battalion that defected despite the massive amounts of bribery offered. There were individuals who were immediately shamed and replaced. We don't have a single working diplomat who defected, does this tell you anything?

You need to look at the world with the eyes of the people of those countries not with your own and definitely not what the western mainstream media tell, they always lie.

So how many Chinese are dissidents and how many of them are residing in Western countries and opposing their government from there?
