What does it really feel like to live in the world’s most powerful police state? Not from the outside. Not from the headlines. From the inside. This book isn’t a political exposé. It doesn’t rant. It doesn’t accuse. Instead, it walks — through the apartments, schools, subways, offices, phones, and daily routines of modern China. Life Inside China is calm, neutral, and observational — but quietly devastating. It shows, without saying, how surveillance becomes normal… How silence becomes safety… And how freedom fades not with violence, but with optimization.
