what do you want to know about PRC?

it is weird for me that this forum seems have few people who actually from PRC. i am not so sure since some posters seem to have great knowledge about the maindland. so i just want to ask, am i the only person form the mainland here?
anyway, back to the title, i have notice that some members are curious about the mainland, regard its society , politic, and economy issues. and to be honest, as a ordinary chinese and a student in the west,i do not think western media's portrait of PRC is really 100% neutral and just. therefore as a chinese who grew up in PRC, i am more than happy to answer any question about PRC according to my own experience.
but before you ask, i have to tell you guys that i am not a professional in social study, maybe i will post your question on chinese forum and try to find a better answer, is it alright with you guys?

besides, i really want to have a nice friendly discussion with other members, so if you want to start some sort of country bashing, please! do not do it here! ff i am no nationalist or 'angry youth' , but i still do love my country, so a discussion is welcome, vituperation is not.

and if there is any member who is also from the mainland, please help me out here! you have a responsibility to tell truth about your country!:china:

Hello again Silverpike

As an older person, I am very interested in the effects and experience of living through a period of rapid change and development. I would be interested in reading from you a little bit a personal bio (your general age group and where you live) plus a personal perspective of living in a rapidly changing society and how your perceptions vary from those of your older family members. Is it disorientating to see areas you have known all your life, changed beyond recognition? do you see the future as optimistic and exciting, or do you find it just a little bit scary? you know that kind of thing.

No need to rush - take a few weeks if necessary. Who knows, I might be able to find a home for a really good work, beyond this forum

China is a great country, i live here out of choice not because i was born here. There are many things i love about China, but there are also many things that I hate. I have found that alot of western media reports, appart from FOX news and other right wing news corps are acurate. I am very disapointed that the BBC news web page is not available in China, I certainly would not class the BBC as anti-chinese.

Hi Aerodriver

same offer open to you if you are interested.

我来自中国，我是今天上午通过搜索引擎发现的。我是想来学英语的，同时又对军事比较感兴趣，希望能达到两得的目的。不知道汉字能发过去吗？

Learn english, good! (I will try to use simple word you can understand)

Go check those word on your English-Chinese dictionary.

(Mod please don't delet this thread I know it is ff )

I have several questions: I consider myself an "apologist" or thats what other people call me anyways

Whenever the topic of China comes up I will generally defend the PRC whenever I see that the discussion is either A) Biased or B) is under a misconception so I strive to correct some.

But i have been asked certain question that while pouring through your constitution haven't been able to answer.

What are the Mobility Rights within the People's Republic? Do all Chinese citizens have the right to live and work in any province and also the right to move to any other province or leave (emmigrate from) the People's Republic? Do they also have the right to be protected from unlawful deportations? And the right to be compensated should they be forced to move from their homes?

answer to ender, remember the hundreds of millions of migrant workers???

people are allowed to work in other cities and provinces, especially if their home province is poor and can't support them. but the problem is that their ID still identify them as from that province, and different rules apply to people from different area. for example the national university exam. if you are from my province of jiangsu, the marks needed are extremly high, but if you are from shanghai, which is just across the river, you can be an idiot and get in good universities like beijing and tsinghua.

immigration to other countries is a different story. some groups are not allowed to emmigrate such as military officers, some scientists, but generally emmigrating to other countries is a lot more relaxed now than before, but is still harder than say Canada.

btw, i was born in the PRC, but i spend most of my life in Canada.

I know that China has its problems, but do Fox really get it right? Or is it just that they sometimes get it right and exaggerate the rest of the time?

Yes, I certainly think that the BBC reporting is hardly anti-Chinese. But then again they have criticism of the Party on there, so it's obviously a big no-no!

I have some questions...As most of you know I'm not Chinese..

1. Can any citizen of the PRC establish a church of his own choice reguardless of religion?

2. Can any citizen of the PRC buy a home?

3. Can any citizen buy a car?

4. Is the internet as "free" (open) as it is in the USA or does the PRC government censor some sites?

5. Can any citizen of the PRC stand on any "street corner" and and say anti-government sayings ina non threating manner?
