What are the odds on Ai Weiwei going back to shitting on China once the USAID check clears?

Never used TikTok so I didn't catch on to this trend until today. Decided to peruse the internet to see if this is true and yeah, the target demographic of this trend regardless of whether they're Asian or not are just having silly fun, so more power to them. The usual China haters spew their garbage, but more interestingly I noticed a group that's as equally cynical about this meme have been millenial ABCs. In fact, with all the recent Chinese cultural successes, I find while Gen-Z and alpha ABCs are quick to consume those things, millenial ABCs usually keep their distance and say those things are overhyped and not indicative of China's success.
I think for millenial ABCs, their attitudes are an extension of many 1st Gen old immigrants who are anti-China. The types who left China for a better life and for years rubbed their better material standards of living in their acquaintances' faces back home. But in recent years, its their old classmates, relatives, and friends whose lives have improved and are no longer impressed at their suburban houses or Mercedes, since those things mean jack all when their social status in the US is bottom tier. So they become anti-China to cope and even hope that Trump throws China back into poverty with the trade war to preserve their prestige.
Likewise for many millenial ABCs who grew up knowing little of their heritage and being embarassed at how poor China was, they instead assimilated into White culture or pretended to be Japanese and Korean to appear respectable. So now that China is growing richer and cooler, they keep telling themselves that China is still poor and uncool so as to hide the shame of their internal racism and hope that a reality still exists where they can validate their self-hate.
And I'm always like, look every immigrant child has to go through this, but there's no shame in owning up to it and correcting course. Ai WeiWei did, so why can't they? But I guess with many of their parents raising them to hide their shame, its inevitable that many choose to continue to hide in the corner. However, I just hope they realize the door will always remain open for them.

From my experience, Chinese in the US who hate China only do it because they think white people will like them for it. Sorry to say but a lot of Asians don't care about anyone else especially other Asians so it's hard to believe they care about human rights in China. It's like Japan bringing upon human rights in regards to China. You can't look down at someone as inferior to you and think at the same time about their human rights. They only bring it up because they think the US will like them more. Do I see any of these Asians care about anything else? Do they do anything about the impoverished in Africa on their own initiative? No. It's only something that aligns with their personal political beefs and not altruism for all. And none of them are thinking about the genocide in Gaza... In Hong Kong during the riots, they couldn't pick a single leader. If it was all about democracy it would be easy for them to pick a single leader because they all had the same cause. But it wasn't about democracy. It was about individual factional agendas that had nothing to do universal democratic rights for all using democracy to hide behind. I wouldn't be surprised if it was all about thinking that because the US wanted the most anti-Chinese person, the US was going to make them the puppet Chinese President for the US. Just look at Maria Corina Machado. She now all of the sudden expects the US to install her as President of Venezuela just because her views align with the US. What happened pro-US Juan Guaido who was actually named the true President of Venezuela by the West? It's all about sucking up to the US to get what they personally want.
