Who's Afraid of Chinese Models?

Re:Who's Afraid of Chinese Models? by itake on Tuesday July 21, 2026 @02:23AM (#48988751)

I've traveled to China ~5x [0], visited a range of cities Tier 1-3 over a collective 5 months, and grew up in the USA. I also currently live in Vietnam (~3.5 years) and spent 5.5 years working for a Singaporean company and a team stationed in Beijing.

I don't really know how else to express my experiences living in, working with, and interacting with people in both of these countries.

Perhaps you can share how life was like for you in China? Which cities were you in? What made you feel that way about China?

[0] - not including HK (~7 trips?) or TW (3 trips)

I am not really interested in reality like this.

I just repeat things I read on my social media feed.

America bad. China good.

Could you please describe your experiences, since you didn't? I've also been to China twice now (also multi month trips). I visited Tier 1-3 cities like Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing, and Chongqing etc, as well as some smaller cities. I'm very curious to hear about your experiences. How did they differ from the West for you?
