I mean… I kinda get it, but nowadays it’s starting to get absurd.

As an ethnic chinese in South East Asia, there’s two kind of chinese i’ve met, “China is the best country in the world! CCP is the best because they take good care of all the chinese everywhere! Everything about that country is good!” and “China is the worst country in the world! CCP is the worst because they censor everything and lie about everything! Everything about that country is dogshit!”, rarely in between.
My stance is a democratic China would probably be as prosperous as Taiwan and my family wouldn’t have to leave.
Me and my brother hates CCP
My parents love CCP
Grandparents also love CCP (I assume, I don’t talk to them much)
Every time my parents praise CCP, I just be like: “So you agree with the CCP? Why didn’t you abort me like they were trying to force you to?” (I’m talking about the One Child Policy btw) Then my dad said 国情不同 (state of the country is different) as an excuse, country was poor and needed to lower birth rates. And my mom started saying how much she “sacrificed” for me, lile bruh just conpletely steer away the topic. Yea sure thank you for your sacrifice and the millions of Yuan RMB they paid as a fine. But why steer the topic?
So they love CCP, simultaneously disobeyed a core CCP policy of birth control? 🤔 Doublethink much?
May she she should’ve, instead of hiding, just let them take her and let them forcefully abort me, maybe I wouldn’t have to deal with this fucked up world with dictators everywhere, state capitalism disguised as “Socialism”, and also democratic capitalist countries devolving into fascism (ahem USA ahem). Man fuck this world
Maybe I shouldn’t have been born, less surffering in the world 🤷♂️
For what it’s worth, you’re not alone. I think I’m going with the whole, “I must outlive my enemies” ideology for coping, because fuck it. But it’s always refreshing to hear from like-minded people, when sometimes I feel so helpless to change anything. Ignorance has run rampant, but at least I know there’s friends all over the world
The most common I see is “I love China and their culture is neat, but their government is evil”.
