给中国人的旅行建议  Travel advice for Chinese people
我们对中国人的建议是,至少今年不要去敌对国家旅行。 Includes, in particular : UK, US, Australia, Canada and Italy. Going to these places enriches countries that have openly declared China as a 'threat' ('slaves should always be slaves'); and it also puts your life in danger; so don't do it ! Demonization of Chinese people has been going for years and getting worse; and many ordinary people have been brain-washed by the propaganda. Forget the fairy tales, the West is not your friend, and, compared to China, a dump (esp. US and UK; see for yourself, if you must). The best thing you can do is to travel and study within China; amazing places and opportunities are all right here. Maybe one day we can all get along and it will be a win-win; but for now the West still clings to domination. So, don't be a slave and get stronger. If already committed, be careful ! Else reconsider - it is not at all what you imagine. In the past, BB was all for exchange, but as we start 2023, our advice is for Chinese people to not visit the West (dangerous); but we encourage Westerners to visit China (eye-opening).
