Oy vey. I would suppose a cryonicist in a communist nation would need to
attempt an escape by some means.

Ja, I was actually referring to Chinese commies, but the USA seems to be
charging in the direction of European socialism as such and alarming rate, I
stand as a deer in the headlights.
I should ask instead of assuming: are there any Chinese citizens signed up
for cryonics? Are there any cryonics companies in China? What about the
European transhumanists? Do you guys have any interest in, and some means
of having cyronic preservation? Where is it? Do the local authorities
oppose?
