Many thanks to the person who shared that you can ask your local Chinese embassy for a copy of „The Governance Of China“.
I reached out to the Chinese embassy in Vienna and got not only a super friendly response, but also an invite to the embassy + 6 copies of the German translation (2x II, III, IV)!
An invite to the embassy sounds nice. Remember, it's technically China over there.
Would you be put to death for sneaking in weed?
EDIT: what I gather from all the triggered tankies replying to me is that the answer is "probably"
