  • 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.
















  • 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.
