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)!
I have close Chinese friends who have done jail time for recreational drug use. I don't think that was fair and I stand by that. It's unnecessary, and in my opinion not positive for either them or society.
Honestly I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree otherwise.
