      Uhm, you can freely leave China? And unless you’re a secret FBI agent, your family is probably safe.

      I’ve heard those stories of “secret Chinese police in the Netherlands”, but they are based on words of like one man without decent confirmation

      China is hostage state that nurtures Stockholm Syndrome in it’s population (similar to DPRK and others).

      What does this even mean.

      You can only “leave” if it’s deemed useful and safe for China (i.e. you have Stockholm Syndrome strongly enough)

      You can leave China just as freely as any other country.

      And those that leave are still under control, i.e. their (edited) behavior can be coerced by using carrot and stick methods on their family and loved ones.

      What? Any country could do this.

      This is some serious jingoism
