Maybe silly but at my Korean classes there's a seemingly "apolitical" guy working in IT who plans to work in China's IT sector and we talked a bit about it. Just talked about how it's exciting but wishes it was less difficult for him to go, that they're making huge leaps in the IT field etc. Just nice to have a convo about it without Uyghurs or muh political freedoms or whatever coming up.
Whenever I mention my respect for Cuba and my desire to meet the country and people are normal about it 👌👍👌👍👌👍
