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 know a couple. One is a gay woman from Beijing, very cool and is a party member. Has dope politics except gets a little libby when it comes to freeze peach.
Other is a self-proclaimed democratic socialist from Nanking, he’s a cool guy but he’s definitely one of the more boug classes. Lives in america for better wages and says he’ll move to taiwan or hong kong if it doesn’t work out here, but he plans to move back to China after he makes enough money.
He does shit on everything about amerikkka though so I give him a pass on his libbery
The difference in cost of living makes me question whether it’s worth it. Can you please explain this to me or casually ask so I get a real understanding?
Lmao I will next time it comes up in convo, but I think it’s like if someone’s able to save 10% of their salary in either place, the math could add up
I’ve known a lot of financially well off who are poor. And plenty of underserved who were fabulously wealthy.
