(I ask in good faith) What percent of people do you think are just China campists instead of genuine Marxist Leninists? (lemmygrad.ml)

China campits exist. There are fantastic sources of information about China who are not even remotely Marxist and just support China for whatever reason. I am wondering what percentage of China supporters do you think that applies to?

None. Camping isn't really legal in China so you can't really camp there. I don't think it's a full on arrest-able offence, but you will be told that you have to leave if you pitch a tent out in the woods, and there are no campgrounds or anything like that as far as I know.

I can still go out and explore deep parts of nature though right?

Oh yeah! In fact, from what I've seen, it's a lot better than the west, in my country, most national parks and things are fenced off, but in China you're allowed to just freely explore places (from what I understand, camping is discouraged to avoid disrupting the natural environment, but you're still allowed to visit it.)
