在中国亲美是非法的吗？

如果你在中国表示支持美国的对华政策，你可能会被中国的安全部门调查和追踪。

中国有一套被称为人民战争的系统，它不存在于美国或台湾。中国政府鼓励其公民向当地警察举报任何可疑的讲话或行为，然后警察再把信息传递给公安部（大概相当于美国的联邦调查局）。

公安部将询问你的朋友和联系人你说了什么。很快，你会发现，你的朋友和联系人不再是你的朋友和联系人了。

因为所有中国人都接受这种人民战争的概念，外国情报部门几乎不可能渗透中国社会——即使中国的人口如此众多。你在酒吧里的下个谈话对象可能就是你与中国政府对阵的第一线。譬如你在酒吧里对别人说台湾应当独立，当地警方在数小时内就会掌握这一信息，然后就是公安部。

一旦当局知道了你的身份，很容易就能通过社交媒体跟踪你的信息，并通过面部识别知道你在哪里和谁见过面。公安部当然不会逮捕你，因为他们想看看你还会和谁见面。

喜欢美国品牌、好莱坞电影、时尚或生活方式则是另外一回事，没人关心你对此有何看法或表达。

If you express sympathy with US government policy to China, you will likely be investigated and tracked by the Chinese security services.

China practices a system called “people’s war” 人民战争 which does not exist in the US or Taiwan. The Chinese government encourages its citizens to report any suspicious speech or behavior to the local police, who will then pass on the information to the Ministry of Public Security (roughly equivalent to the FBI in the US).

The MPS will then go and question your friends and contacts about what you have said.

Soon, you will find that your friends and contacts are not your friends and contacts anymore.

Because this concept of people’s war is embraced by all Chinese, it is almost impossible for foreign intelligence services to penetrate Chinese society even though China has such a huge population. The front line of the Chinese government you are dealing with may be the next person you talk to in a bar. Just assume that if you say to someone in a bar that Taiwan is right to want independence, the local police will have that information in a few hours, and then the MPS.

Once the authorities have your identity, then it is easy to track your identity online across social media, and where you are and who you meet with facial recognition.

The MPS will not arrest you because they want to see who you meet with.

Liking American brands, Hollywood movies, fashions and lifestyle are different things, and no one cares what you say and think about that.
