Everybody already moved to red book and are starting to recognize that the US is just an aging colonialist with nothing to offer the future

The GenZ folks (including my kids) that I interact with on a day-to-day basis are much happier on that application and they’re starting to realize that the US is not what it pretends to be

That doesn’t mean any place is better (though possible) it simply means people started finally realizing the truth of the United States

China is an ethnostate. What does China offer the future to anyone who's not Chinese? Chinese nationals in the United States have substantially more rights than they do in China.

		China has 1.4 billion people. Americans can learn from them.

You use colonialist as a slur, but China has literal colonies in Tibet and the Uyghur land.

> That's quite interesting, because most of Chinese can only understand what's being colonized, but never understand what's colonizing and genocide.

You are saying that Chinese people don't even realize their colonialism and their genocides. Unless you're sarcastic, it is not the flex you think it is. Also LOL at you using "white" as a slur.

You see, that's what I aim to express, but you can not understand

You can only understand such thing with certain history context/knowledge, without it, it's very likely you can not understand what I'm talking about, vice versa, so do I

The difference is I know your history, you don't know mine

like the statement above:

> Everybody already moved to red book and are starting to recognize that the US is just an aging colonialist with nothing to offer the future

it's not true, most Chinese in Xiaohongshu are not recognize the US as 'colonialist', like I said, many of us don't even know what 'colonialist' even mean

They just recognize the US as an aging 'imperialist'(mostly refer to refers to inflation and healthcare), that's what most Chinese can understand

And, 'white' is not a slur, it's history
