I bet Beijing's solution to something like this is Missouri must have more exposure to Chinese. I know Chinese that seem to need acceptance from even racists. They think racists are just misinformed and mistaken and if they just got to know Chinese, they'll like them. No, racists are motivated by hating people who are different from them. You make people like these think you're bothering makes them think how much more superior they are to you because they wouldn't bother themselves to those they see as inferior and denying themselves from you is what they'll do more. They call these states the fly-over states for a reason. The people who live in these states don't like the idea they're not seen as important. That's why China shouldn't bother to do business with them when they can. Let the world pass them by which is the number one complaint today of the alt-right who live in red states is they're feeling left behind. The US is worried China will pass them by. They don't want Chinese living better than them.
Like I've been saying in this forum, the best revenge is to live well. How can anyone argue against that? But there are. It's like those that argue that there can only be a Chinese success if the West accepts it and has the final say like in this forum for those who think Chinese domestic airliners need approval from Western authorities. It doesn't matter if Chinese discover the cure to cancer but if the West questions it, then some brainwashed believe that's equivalent to failure. Some will spin the the goal is to find the auspicious way where everyone can live together in peace. And I'll say, no, because you only care about peaceful co-existence with the white people of the world. It's like Hong Kongers that cry freedom and democracy and use all the romanticized nonsense to achieve their goals yet when George Floyd was brutally killed and the issue of police brutality surfaced, those activists went out of their way to show the US they have no connection and wanted to distance themselves from it even though they were complaining about the same thing.
