Just had lunch with a nice guy, MBA student, from mainland China Very depressing to hear his (volunteered, unprompted) views on government "You can't trust in private institutions, but the government is always be there to keep you safe" hard to know what to make of this

Have you considered that this might be the Normal State of Things and the western state where leadership is so openly unconcerned with the future of their people and often overtly hostile to them might be the Weird State of Things, that you're having a fish-water episode
