Huawei Could Divide the World

I don't have many Chinese friends who would speak in this frank a manner with me, but the two that I do have definitely think like this. They see problems and bigotry that they never had to deal with until they got here, and I think that is what created the knee-jerk reaction to believe they need the Chinese state.

(The worst part is that one is Taiwanese! Not even Chinese. And she thinks of it as insurance. She feels like things for her in the West could turn sour in a hurry, so she needs an "out" so to speak.)

I generally don't share those things with my American friends either, many probably don't understand, and for those who do, it just unnecessarily makes them feel guilty about things they have no control over.

So applaud you to be interested in those nuances and being empathetic!

There's a difference between seeing China as a 'natural homeland' and totally supporting the CCP and all it's inanity.

I don't doubt for a second that people might be 'very proud' of their culture. For better or worse - that's normal. But to be proud of the bad stuff, even when they are literally living abroad for those reasons - now that is just weird.

What problems are those? Because seriously, not only Chinese or Taiwanese, even Canadian or European had to deal with problems in US that is US specific only, and not a thing they have to dealt with at home. Example, Health Coverage and Tax.
