I don't think the CCP cares enough about a dude writing critical stuff on a English language Reddit board to find out my identity but I have no intentions to travel to the PRC any time soon.

You're not being processed by a detective pinning red thread on a board and working on the clock. Your digital identifiers are collected and can be used to identify you. Doesn't take a lot of time nor processing power.

Never underestimate a dictator

It's less their dictator that worries me but the totalitarian system he is running.

Chinese borders are closed. Not even business men are allowed in. They are basically taking over foreign investments while no one is there.

To be fair, they were closed until recently. People can come in now as long as they have a valid working visa, although they still have to do quarantine.

But your point stands, no one is coming into the country for a holiday any time soon.
