usually Quora is garbage but damn this is pretty good. Wish they went a bit more in-depth but I like this, it’s a change of pace from most garbage answers (and questions) from Quora lol
That mention about Zhihu is interesting, since nowadays they tend to be mostly liberals who will label others "pinko" if any user praises the PRC lol.
They're commonly referred to as "public intellectuals" and they share the exact same pro-western smug moral superiority complex that other liberals around the world share.
