I think one of the biggest communication issues between people in China and people in the west is that people in the west are just so, so, so fucking ignorant. Like, your average Chinese person probably can't even conceive of how little your average westerner knows about Chinese history. Most of us don't even know Hong Kong was occupied by the British for fuck's sake.
That was the best part about the Xiaohongshu migration, watching all the Americans realizing in real time just how wrong their conception of China was
I'm pretty sure they know, they just think the occupation was good
I've met a lot of people who think "China" "conquered" Hong Kong from the "Hong Kongers" Not just kids either, people literally old enough to remember Hong Kong changing hands in 1999.
But that's also another problem, so many people in the west will have a vague understanding of history, but will just think western imperialism is a good thing and the people fighting against it were always in the wrong.
Many Westerners don't even think China is a legitimate sovereign country that deserves respect. They think le seesepee is a basically a gang of murderous thugs that unlawfully stole China from its rightful rulers and that are constantly working overtime to oppress their citizens, pollute the environment and undermine Western democracies
Exactly! How do you even start a conversation with someone who thinks your country is run by villains from Marvel movies who are just pointlessly evil for no reason.
