Why don't I ever write about China?

I was wondering why I have so little to say about Chinese current events, so I watched this newscast of the excellent Chinese Olympic team applauding supreme comrade Xi for two minutes straight.
Shouldn’t the politburo (or whatever it’s called) be applauding China’s Olympic heroes?
And then it dawned on me: Xi’s China is really boring.
Of course, China could get really interesting at any moment over, say, Taiwan.
But, may we all continue to live in uninteresting times.
I don’t know about the US, but we have lots of “Chinese government interference in Canada.” It even has a Wikipedia page.

It includes clandestine Chinese police stations and federal election interference.
I don’t find it boring. I imagine they’re trying in the US too but there’s lots more competition and you don’t have as many Chinese immigrants.
Chinese people are 100x more interested in China than they are in every other country combined. It's not that China is boring; it's that you don't understand it. Fair enough: why would you?
