I have talked with a few mainland Chinese people over the last few months, and I still feel I haven’t quite gotten a “general view” or understanding of how Chinese people view the world
The people I spoke with were very diverse Some were gay, some were married, others were students, and some were living abroad
But none of them has quite eased my “itch” of knowing how they see the world and their political viewpoints… So for those who have interacted with both Mainland Chinese and the broader Chinese diaspora (like immigrants or those born abroad), what differences in mentality have you noticed?
I once met a guy who moved to UK from hong kong and they were hardcore US supporter and wanted the US to nuke the entirety of the middle east and claimed that especially muslims were invading western countries like the UK and taking over and enstating the dreaded “Sharia law”. He also wanted the US to Nuke china and destroy it.
Meanwhile everyone I’ve met from the Mainland is totally chill and very very very educated about world events and speaking multiple languages. I’m still friends with all of them. One recently joined the Communist party so I’m super interested in talking with them about stuff.
