My Chinese parents immigrated not to US but to Canada

My mom’s family got their entire business (bunch of merchant shops on the street of a rural town) and large property taken away from the communists

She’s pretty anti-China and a little bigoted but hilariously enough, she’s also anti-Canada/US and anti- lol

My dad just sold t-shirts on a wagon on the streets and moved to Canada because he blew his entire life savings in his 20s travelling the entire world and wanted to live in a foreign country

He’s pretty pro-China *now* because of the progress and less bigoted than my mom, but also less bigoted towards white people lol

One thing you have to remember though is that Cuba and Vietnam + China in the past were incredibly poor. Like genuinely some of the poorest and worst places you can live in on this planet. Most people are not politically literate and so of course will judge their home country based on what they’ve seen and experienced compared to the West rather than apply historical materialism to their opinions

Look up the height of average Chinese youth in Beijing and Shanghai

The men at age 18 are now like 5’10" on average. Urban Chinese youth are now taller than Anglo youth and will probably surpass many Northern European nations eventually too

Communist standard of living :stonks-up:

Yea it’s super jarring the first time. Mine was at brunch with 4 others and they made fun of me because I had a Xiaomi phone and one said “You must like SpyOS eh?” 💀

Yea planting cp on people’s computers is the fed equivalent of cops sprinkling crack on dead bodies

All the arrests and charges for that were after he was caught leaking data

It was absolutely not obvious at all to Americans back then. Or more accurately, they wanted to believe the lies so they did

73% of Americans were in favor of invading Iraq

“I understand when people say Americans are the most propagandized developed nation”

Oh boy wait 20 more years when they discover they’re the most propagandized nation period
