    our dads should all hang out because my dad is also kinda similar, but since we’re not american, he hates america with a passion

    hes like a kinda right wing dengist with very reactionary views on many things but still supports China because he has to

    he hero worships Deng and thinks that he was the one that saved China from madness with his market reforms

      It’s so interesting the wide array of people that exist who fully accept China’s success but don’t understand the politics or economics at all

      My dad loves every secretary general because China has been a constant rocketship for all of them and is neutral on the West because it was genuinely infinitely better when he immigrated but knows they’ve completely stalled since the 90s compared to China

      My mom who’s family’s business and property got taken by Map loves Deng because she thinks he was a capitalist and hates Xi and current China for hurting capitalists again
