      I have. I taught Chinese students at the same time as those Taiwanese ones, and having them in a room together was often a challenge. The brainwashed ideologies the Chinese students often held in the face of evidence was much like that of fervent MAGA supporters.

      The only thing I can say with absolute certainty is that Nationalism is fucked, whether it’s the American or the Chinese brand.

        maybe your “evidence” was a load of crap and they knew it

        social credit has never been a thing in china. i’ve lived there.

          Brainwashing is when you don’t take westerners at their word without evidence
