I refuse. I stand by my opinions.
Because. Xitler. Because the CCP.
Let us see how much you standby your opinions when you are there.
Fair enough, but then I probably wouldn’t take the chance of traveling there. I don’t think it’s a certainty you’d get denied, but this is China in 2019 so it’s a possibility.
There is 1.5 billion people in China, it’s not like they are all evil.
True, I’ve met some great mainlanders. But we’re talking government agencies here, not the entire population.

…? I stood by them when I live there. I stood by them when I left there.
You also don’t go to Thailand and publicly say their king is crazy. You just need to know how to go about your ways safely.
I walked around with my Taiwan flag - no hassles.
Then why worry about some posts?
No, going to China.
That escalated quickly…

When were you last there? To be fair, things are getting a lot more repressive these days.

Left in August 2018.
For several years in a row earlier this decade, all I heard from mainlanders was how much China was improving, how rapidly it was advancing, how different it is from even just a year ago. Ever since Xi announced his permanent emperor status it seems to have backslid.

I wouldn’t automatically assume you can do the same things you did then and get away with it now. If people are advising caution here, I also wouldn’t assume they are shills.

I showed them my then-freshly-minted Taiwanese visa cause they wanted the most up to date photo on me. They accepted it. 
Most of the time it would cause you issues. But I’ve heard some people mysteriously get rejected if they go into Taiwan often.
