What Does China REALLY Look Like, Beyond The Propaganda? ()

Shanghai. China. I lived here for almost 7 years, and likely would have stayed for many more if the pandemic never happened. In early 2020, I left China to visit family back home -- and soon after the borders were shut, and it became impossible to go back. And so I stopped waiting. But Shanghai was a special place for me, it was my home for the better part of a decade. It's a truly developed, cosmopolitan city that was caught in the middle of a political storm. I missed it. And when events led to the borders finally reopening in 2023, I knew I had to go back, even if it was just a visit. -------- Instagram: sabbatical.tommy Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/sabbaticaltommy #sabbatical #china #shanghai
