  • Lol, btw my dad who is still a PRC Citizen had to download an app and install it via .apk, because the Google Play Store doesn’t have it, in order to apply for the Passport Renew in the app. Because (1) there is no Embassy in my city, and he’d have to travel 2-3 hours to get to the closest Embassey/Consulate and (2) since Covid, they made appointment process much difficult, and encourage online application instead.

    They have do like a face scan using the app. Very futuristic to not have to do it in person, but simultaneously very uncanny and creepy to have essentially the Embassy stepping inside your house with the camera and microphone permissions.

    I think he kept the app installed to check on the application progress, so the CCP could’ve technically heard the political debates about Taiwan and stuff in the house. So yea I’m probably on the watchlists of both PRC and USA for being a dissident, the two most powerful nations in the world doesn’t very like dissidents like me who hates authoritarians. Wonderful. If they every go after everyone, I literally have nowhere in the world that can escape from the tentacles of these both these authoritarians. But lucky I’m not that important, so so far, no agent of the government have come after me, yet.

  • I always love the russian accent for some reason. Like they sound to… idk how to describe… like very authoritative, it can sound intimidating, but when spoken by someone that is resisting government oppression kinda like bring you hope. Like I hear a Russian accent of English and I immediately think of like revolution, like the revolution against the Tsar, or like the Alexey Navalney type of people.

    When ever I hear Chinese, Korean, or Japanese accents, I think of like intellectuals, scientists. And specifically in case of Chinese (both Cantonese and Mandarin) accents, I think of the fight for democracy in Hong Kong, the resistance against the CCP’s encroching upon ROC/Taiwan, and those doctors who tried to warn people of covid, and the dissidents who fled or have been exiled.

    The average American English accent sounds kinda boring, no offense. Even the British accept, which is slightly better than the American version, still sounds boring AF.
