Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Xi I would very much love to visit China. I promise to take pictures and videos that show China in a positive light because it's an amazing country. Please just help me with airfare costs.
+3000 social credit points. You may redeem these for travel points by your next statement date.
Social credit is like frequent flyer miles except you get them for just being a decent person in society? Sounds rad
It's kinda ridiculous how low the prices have dropped in Australia. Round trip Syd to Shanghai or Hainan for $400 AUD in October? 144 hour Visa? I could probably drag some of my white friends to go experience civilization.
I paid about $2500. Getting to northern China seems about $1000 more expensive from where I am than getting to HK, so I might do that and just go to the mainland from there next time.
Idk how one would apply but it looks like China is literally inviting people to visit and paying for it.
