No, I don't see things that simply. I understand that often, one will and should go overseas to learn and develop. During that time, one will inevitably benefit the country s/he is working in. I believe that sometimes, a person won't make it and will end up doing work in a field that is simply not important to the global competition such as hospitality or real estate, etc... In that case, s/he can simply enjoy life. However, if one does eventually become a talent in a contended area, I feel one should always remember one's roots and return to home to serve with what one has learned. I have no ill will towards the average Chinese American going about their day; the ones that digust me are the ones who have much to offer but offer it to an enemy nation of China. I feel that this person has developed valor but failed to develop honor and I expect a high-achieving person to develop both concurrently.
I am not sure how to carry on this part of the conversation anymore because I feel I can't put myself in your shoes. I just don't feel insulted or burdened because someone Chinese American won gold. I just don't think the gold medal tally has much to do with me at all. I don't feel differently about myself (certainly not my performance) and I don't feel other people treated differently because of Olympic medals.
I cannot do it because I cannot pretend to be someone's friend when I am in disgust. I am a straight forward person and would fail miserably as a spy or counter-intelligence agent. Unfortunately, I feel that the only way to unite China is for China to defeat the US with what it has, and then unite the traitors by force. I don't think there is hope to win them over with kindness and win with them on the team. Have you ever converted someone with your kindness before? Bless you if you have but if not, then perhaps it is simply being kind to the enemy because you shy away from conflict? It wouldn't be rare to have that trait.
In my life, I have converted one Hong Kong girl... by dating her when I didn't know she was anti-CCP and then debating her down with facts, Googling, and reason before she started calling the rioters cockroaches too.
Yes, but in the US, the democrats and republicans at least share the common goal of strengthening America.
I am not pretending anything. I am genuine friends with them. and I have absolutely no desires to "convert" them. Convert would imply I am right. But that's not how I think. I think it's my own responsibility to work hard to find truth and it's other people's responsibility to do the same for themselves. I also think it's important for individuals to exchange views to find out where the difference might be and figure out why. I don't preach to anyone my political views. But I do advocate people consume information from the source rather than second hand, as well as the importance of exposing oneself to a variety of views. All in all, my friends and I value our friendship, agree to disagree with each other's political views, and enjoy each other's company and intellect.
I would point out having Hong Kong and Taiwan under PRC administration (unity of the state) is not the same thing as uniting the people. I don't know how to unite people. But I doubt me calling them traitors or enemy would help. But I want to make it clear that my kindness (or who I would call my people) is limited to political differences (but not political crimes such as attempt to overthrow the CCP) and stops at violence for Hongkong and formal independence and deployment of offensive weapons for Taiwan. I believe my approach is much closer to CCP's official policy and law. and that is why I support the CCP and Xi, because I believe they are fundamentally a moderate political party in today's China.
about US politics, both sides SAY they are making America strong. But instead of compromising to actually make America strong, they are basically my way or the highway. some people are even worried about civil war after decades of foreign wars. so yes, I would be REALLY careful about conflict in China. In this world there may be people that are spineless, or naïve, or dove, or hawk, or jingoistic, or chauvinistic, or rational, or diplomatic, or any other label. I focus on being more self-aware than judging others.
The goal of these traitors is to help the US defeat China. There is a fundamental irreconcilable difference.
I don't know why, but I think you are seeing a lot more enemies/traitors/disgraceful people among the Chinese than I see.
