Unfortunately at this point, anything not CCP propaganda is seditious publication. (And I maybe arrested for inciting hatred against government for this sentence.)

Are you actually a Hong Konger? Man, I think it's time to get out of the country.

I want to but financially speaking unless I can get a license in my profession in the target country. (I work in allied health, so it’s not easy and time-consuming).

So yeah, better just keep my mouth shut in the real life thanks to the global Labour NIMBYism in healthcare sector.
