Following China Anon's 1st Message to Submarine Matters of April 29, 2022 , China Anon kindly provided a 2nd message on May 16, 2022.
China Anon, from the PRC, said:
“This blog's commentary is quite negative towards China. More than many forums I saw. Anyway. Indian comments are usual though...
First I would like to answer [those] who think I will be called to the police station or something. I won't be. Criticism of the government in China is allowed. Just spend 5-10 mins on Weibo (our Twitter). And we are the country with the most protests. Since we don't vote for the government that is our primary method of displaying disapproval.

The only two topics [we] have to keep clear of are the legitimacy of the CCP rule and secessionism.
There are misconceptions about China's relations to Russia. The Vladivostok dispute has ended. In fact, China ended its disputes with 12 out of its 14 land neighbors, sometimes ceding territory. So that face saving argument is moot. China's territorial claims are inherited from the preceding Republic of China - and the PRC has shown the willingness to compromise if needed. We are not going to ruin our relations with Russia for a piece of land we don't even claim anymore. But we are definitely going to aid Russia more in its incoming turbulent times to make it more Asian.
Russia only started reciprocating China's friendly gestures after it was rejected by the West. [Russia’s] first choice is obvious. China needs to and will treat Russia even better to have it turn its face to the east permanently. [China] going after [Russian] lands is just asking for pro-Westernism in Russia. That would be followed by a colour revolution which means China would end up with a very hostile nuclear armed state on its border. A border that is very long and otherwise problemless... I don't know what you think of us but we are neither stupid nor evil enough to take advantage of a supposedly weakened Russia. And that "weakened" Russia still has enough nukes to incinerate China.
[Where Pete wrote] "If we told [China Anon] that he is ruled by a group of billionaire CCP capitalists who continue to rule China he might quietly recognise this but cannot reveal that he knows it."
I can. China is capitalist. Its socialism is just a future goal that stays there to be lip service to socialists in China and beyond. After all just the existence of private property is enough to rule it out as a socialist country. And if you think China is corrupt now you should have seen it during the 1990s. We used to put cash money into folders we were submitting to the government offices, otherwise, it would wait for months to get processed. Thankfully lower and middle level corruption got eliminated. The upper level is still problematic.”
Pete Comment
China Anon’s comments seem fair and reasonable, especially:
- China's self-interest in making Russia more Asian, in "But we are definitely going to aid Russia more in its incoming turbulent times to make it more Asian."
and
- Anon's last paragraph.
In view of that last paragraph it looks like China’s internet censors can be tolerant.
But it must be said, overall, that Xi (who apparently aims at being Leader for life) and the Chinese military, remain a threat to Australia.
