1. Restrictions on personal freedom.
   
   They used to confiscate passports only from civil servants and teachers; now legislation is expanding the practice.
   
   
2. Highly closed management.
   
   Using a VPN (“climbing the wall”) is explicitly illegal. A catch-all offense can be used to arrest you at any time on that pretext.
   
   3, The compound has a complete industrial chain
   
   Food, drink, entertainment, baths, restaurants, even organ trading. Money obtained through fraud is spent right there.
   
   
3. Violent control and tight surveillance.
   
   Extreme measures like sealing entire cities or neighborhoods during COVID could return at any time.
   
   
4. PUA-style manipulation.
   
   They strip away your basic rights and then dole a little back. It is Shang Yang’s method: first push you into the river, then pull you out, so people develop Stockholm syndrome.
   
   6.Forced labor.
   
   People at the bottom routinely work 12-hour days. This completely violates WTO commitments. Because protections are almost nonexistent, people have no choice but to work just to survive.
