This feels like being the property of someone..


I have had experienced this also in India. We call it No objection certificate (NOC).


Does that mean your old employer has no objections that you work for any new employer or could they object depending on who the new employer is?


Welcome to China


I have a tiny anecdote about China.

Long ago I spent days on Omegle (the random chat website). I talked to a chinese woman. Most chinese people I met there were pretty sensitive and slow to type (english is not their favorite language maybe). Rapidly I told her how much China has influenced me as a kid. Food, silk clothing, martial art, architecture, philosophy (that's a bit broader than China but you get it). She was happy for a second then said "well not everything is good here". Vaguely hinting at the idea that government was too strict. Nothing revolutionary but she then went silent all of a sudden. She apologized a few times for saying such things about her country with some "oh my god" and then left.

I since know a bit more what freedom of speech means.


Well, you know, communism.
