Yes probably. I asked if they were part of the communist party and they said they were part of the youth one.

i’m not sure what you mean by the “so… i’m on such a camp” could you clarify? do you mean that you are on a similar chinese government funded camp?
oopsies if i am misreading or reading too much into it but just a bit confused
Went to the university i’m going to next fall’s encampment. It’s crazy to go from high school where i could barely find anyone supportive of palestine(supportive enough to actually take action. most people were supportive but like no one did anything which pisses me off to no end but tangent aside) to a full on encampment. food was bussin tho
I have also had the chance to meet a pre-new china member of the cpc. He was my grandpa actually. Unfortunately he died a couple years ago and the last time I was back in china I didn’t know what a marx was…
I wish you the best of experiences though.
I mean they’ve done this before… a quick invasion, taking of a treaty port, and a whole lot of opium
I personally really like to journal but even if you don’t I like to prepare for interview by writing down like what i would answer to the questions. Then in the case of an interview I kinda already know where I want to go so i can focus on making myself more articulate and prose more interesting. Of course you won’t cover everything you will get asked and will still need to impromptu some questions but i find i feel a lot more prepared and that helps with my anxiety.
others have said a lot, but i just wanted to add
I’ve tried talking to a therapist about it but they just suggested that I try to stop identifying as Chinese and start identifying as American.
is ridiculous to the point of satire. It feels like something someone would satirically say rather than unironic advice from a therapist.
I wish you the happiest of birthdays comrade. Long live the revolution
Just finished finals, will have to wait to see how I did but I’m pretty proud of how it went.
but at what cost
Hmm for me a pretty recent 180 i took was on Deng Xiaoping. I was a commie but I really wasn’t super educated on the state of AES(even though i am part of the chinese diaspora) and was always under the impression that it was capitalism. That deng xiaoping turned china capitalist. Probably not really as big of an 180 as some other people here but really learning about china was really inspiring and restored my hope in the world ig. I feel way more patriotic towards china right than amerikkka.
Thinking of possibly doing my master’s in china after my undergrad.
Hmm I don’t think i actually asked about GLF. Cultural rev he acknowledged it was a mistake probably overall, but it wasn’t like a completely bad thing but yeah that living in a time where if you said something wrong it would be very scary. Tiananmen didn’t use the term color revolution cuz we were talking in chinese but basically described it as such and like we can talk about it but the problem with talking about online is if you’re like wrong then it becomes baseless speculation and that’s not really okay. problem of national security and like being against dissident voices isn’t something unique to china either really. hong kong/taiwan were like why would they want to even have independence they’re in the grand scheme of things rather small islands and doing well under the current administration ig. i don’t remember exactly what he said but something about those lines.
so pretty much mostly in line with what i expected.
