I gotta say. As a someone who was a teen fully deep in the “China bad” propaganda machine, I really don’t get the fears that Americans have about China. It’s a country like any other. At least they have healthcare kekw.
But to put it briefly, I was just kinda fascinated by the Chinese tech scene. Specifically the smartphone market post-2019 huawei ban. That led me into learning about china infrastructure efforts.
I don’t think I’d call myself “pro-china.” I’m not “pro-any country.” But I think that it’s genuinely a pretty neat place I’d like to visit someday.
All good! Thanks for getting back to me. Yeah the tech scene is one where China’s dominance is undeniable, it went 'China can’t make anything > China can only copy > China must be stealing to get ahead > We have to stop China from innovating"
Even my tech bro workmates recognise that efforts to hold things like DeepSeek and TikTok back are geopolitically motivated
When Xi Jinping hit me up on Path of Exile (Tencent game) and said he’d give me money if I posted positive things about China I really started to see the guy in a brighter light.
For me it’s been watching their insane infrastructure growth both in China and in Africa. They’re actually improving the world while usa just privatizes it in order to just improve it for the few.

What got you out of the China Bad machine, if you don’t mind me asking?
Sorry for the late response 😅

I got three Mythic Skins on Honour of Kings in exchange for this year of posting, I would have accepted just a legendary though
