I understand you think you are trying to "talk me back from the brink" and its also in good faith, so its understandable. Perhaps I should clarify:
1) I certainly hope nobody goes out shooting on a rampage. Rather what was highly effective about BLM was armed supporters of the protesters who could prevent white supremacist and "police" elements from exacting violence against demonstrators the same way they did with George Floyd. We need armed protection at these protests.
2) Its a very typical asian idea to try to simply flee back to safety. While I agree that repatriation to China is the ultimate end goal, that is not the primary objective in the initial phases, we need protests and mobilization among multiple media and social channels. Again, huge amounts of the population were against BLM, but their mobilization still brought America to paralysis and raised serious existential questions. We cannot go wagging a tail between the two legs now fleeing back to china, it just perpetuates the narrative of the chinese spy/coward and invites more attack against the remaining community that is here.
3) We do not know whether the escalation matrix will even permit a return to china, for example it is incredibly likely protests will go nationwide within the next 2-3 days, just like with George Floyd. As we should expect no sympathy from a federal white supremacist government, its is entirely likely Chinese nationals will not be permitted to leave in state of martial law.
4) Not everyone on this forum has the necessary technical expertise to specifically develop china. Many of our backgrounds are in finance/investing but in an anglosphere setting. My best and highest use of talents is to continue staying here, where I continue to use my purchasing power to buy Chinese goods, until they are eventually boycotted. I've set my Chinese goods purchase level to be approximately $30,000 a year, or approximately 20x the average per capita spend, in an effort to further develop key Chinese technologies and also build awareness of quality Chinese products (since even I can admit there is a bunch of cheap crap out there). I had previously set a level of 10x per capita spend which I communicated to the forum in June-2020, but investments returns have been good and I have gotten a new job and saved money elsewhere so I upped the budget. Its also helpful when I used to be a huge food aficionado but now restaurants arent as appealing/accessible.
5) I am not trained as a professional killer. But Canada does allow me to have a PAL, and you can see a few pictures of my loadout in the small arms threat. I hope nobody has illusions about protecting themselves from real US special killer forces, I'm talking about dumb deranged republican white supremacists here. Also I make sure to keep hitting the gym (especially important during a pandemic) and run with a weighted bag to simulate a heavier loadout. Think local overmatch, not global dominance.
We are both on the same side, and as long as we use our intelligence (albeit in different ways) we can play our part to ensure the vicotry of Chinese civilization.
