I still get frustrated thinking that I undoubtedly believed all that crap too at some point
When all the media constantly screams that China is bad, it's honestly a miracle that people mange to start seeing past that.
To cringe at your past self means to have progressed forward on your journey to that asymptotic point of becoming unfathomably based

The honeypots are working.
Sexpionage, but it's actually just marrying a
canadian and taking them home for vacation.Have you tried putting an application in at the secret Chinese police stations?
More and more people are outwardly saying that they don't believe the govt or the media, but they still haven't gone further to question who exactly has been telling them about China or the DPRK. I think Sinophobia appeals to the average USian's superiority complex. It takes some measure of humility to try to unpack that much propaganda. I'm still trying to do it after years and years.
For sure, nobody wants to believe that their country is the one that's backwards. That's what makes propaganda so easy to do, people want to believe it.
As I've said before, the big problem is that most Americans assume that 'if we can't do it, then it can't be done.' Low crime, well funded public housing? Nope, it's all 'but the projects' this and 'projects' that, ignoring the fact that in China your housing representative literally lives in the block with you. But of course that's 'too much government interference' 'cant have a nanny state'.
Literally people just back themselves into an ideological corner where no solution is good enough so the only solution is to do nothing and let the private sector figure it out, as if they don't become just as much of an oppressive force in their solutions.
I mean good for her but I wonder what made her husband want to marry her
I could never have anywhere near the amount of patience he must have displayed
Tbh she comes off as very willing to learn and it's clear she values cultural humility, I think most people are in her camp but just don't have any exposure to media or perspectives outside of state department outlets.
Also she's spreading the Red China is advanced super state propaganda so she's based af.
White Australian women I've dated finding out that China's closer to Wakanda than some vague, smoggy Oriental dystopia has actually been more amusing than annoying.
damn good for her for putting this out there in the modern media environment. Including specifically calling out the 'china communist no freedumb' thing

people will probably stare, ask to take photos with you (or just take voyeur photos of you from a distance), possibly even touch your hair without permission if it's 4c or something but you will almost certainly never get hate crimed, never get verbally abused, visibly looked at with disgust, etc.
so no racism but your expectations of personal space will be different because you may be the first black person some of them have ever seen. but generally only older folks do this. younger adults, especially in urban centres will be much more respectful
