    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.
