Well... Fortunately, there is still Taiwan, the only Chinese-speaking country where creativity and freedom of speech is nurtured and not censored!

Well, Singapore isn't that bad. Regardless, I'm not sure what Taiwan is going to save us from.

Singapore's not that bad as long as you're not gay (which is illegal and punishable by a prison term), a political activist for the opposition party, too independent thinking or otherwise labeled as undesirable by the government.

Oh, sure, totally. But they aren't as bad as the PRC.

In terms of cultural-inspired creativity, Taiwan isn't a great representative of Chinese creative media, Taiwan can only represent certain parts of the Southern Coastal and South-Eastern China/Asia culture in terms of where they draw inspiration for their creativity. Also the general Taiwanese "creative media" industry like films isn't particularly welcoming to Mainland culture or influences.
