I was in Shanghai up until around May or so, will be going back August of '24. Undeniably not what it was pre-covid but I'm holding out hope that it'll slowly but surely get better after the reopening. Given the Rainy meme, you were probably in China in the Hu Jintao/early Xi era? It's a whole new place now. Significantly less free (even by China standards) but significantly more modern, easy to get around, people aren't insufferable about you being white anymore, everything's on your phone, etc.
Back when I first moved there in 2019 (so keep in mind, I'm new as shit all things considered), ESPECIALLY up north/in smaller cities and rural areas, there was near constant staring, sometimes people would just walk up to you and touch you/your hair/your dick (never happened to me, thankfully), you were very clearly the topic of discussion when you were around people (particularly if you couldn't speak Chinese, which I could thankfully), etc. It's much less like that now; I think covid spooked people about foreigners, as well as there generally being more exposure to us nowadays in media and such. The stuff that I described above still happens sometimes (most of the country has never seen a white person IRL before), but I got stared at a shit ton in Shanghai in 2019 and it doesn't really happen anymore to me aside from the occasional double take (usually because I'm a ginger rather than just being because I'm white).
FWIW, this means being a coomer has become much harder there too, but still totally doable if you know where to look/try hard enough. That's not my scene though. I hope this was coherent enough, I'm tired as shit. Will try to elaborate if/when I pop back in the thread if you have any more questions.
Nah sounds like it’s due to social media. Lmfao social media has destroyed dating even in rural china. Truly social media is the beast of the end times.

. There hasn't been a massive influx of Russians tbh, I've met FAR more Kazakhs in China (both domestic and from Kazakhstan) who also happen to speak Russian because of the USSR. I agree with

that it's primarily social media's fault, but also people are richer than they used to be (and, yes, still fairly conservative), so they don't feel the need to fuck bairen like they used to.
even easier money and rainies since all the alarmist covidfags "escaped" back to the west
>Kazakhstan
God I miss being mistaken for a Kazakh in China so much. The only thing better than being mistaken for Kazakh all the time is when you admit in your shitty accent that you're a 匈牙利人, cause then you see them going through all the emotions of thinking about 匈人 and 匈奴 and whatever. Only for them to become more confused compared to when they didn't know that you were 匈牙利人. I also love the minority who are completely convinced you're Chinese (again, being from 匈牙利), just cause you speak 10 words in Chinese.
>locked inside with no food for months >constant threat of interment camp >'alarmist'
nonsense but good on you for sticking it out. the one thing that almost kept me from leaving was knowing how it would be absolutely crazy, open-season fuckfest with Rainies once covid stuff ended
no, really, what the FUCK is "the 'guo"?

Is this because of the influx of Russians?
not him but I dont think there's been a big influx of Russians. But any Russian guys who were already there definitely arent in a rush to leave

I'm white and brunette, no one has ever tried to touch my hair.

sorry your china consisted entirely of shanghai
lockdowns happened in almost every major city throughout the 2nd half of 2022
yeah, but only shanghai had anything like "no food for months"
enough to weed out the quitters though, thanks based CCP for taking out the trash!
Absolutely false. See: Xian, Urmuqi, Changchun, just to name a few that were WORSE than Shanghai, off the top of my head
>a bunch of buttfuck T3s
yeah real sorry for the 30 laowai losers who had to flee from those
>deportation of foreigners is people "escaping to the west"
lol ok poohbear
nobody was deported for covid stuff, retard
So is it a fuckfest over there?
Ok how do I get sex in China?
wechats around me function, momo app.
I've used wechat rarely in other countries, I wonder what it's like with peoplw actually on there.
