It looks like you hate a lot about China. Then why are you there??? are they giving you a job you can't find in your country or something? or girls treat you better than your home country?
Who told you to learn bad sides within that culture?
When we talk about 'sharing cultures', it's not about sharing trash kinds.(even kids know that)
I'm not even sure what you mean by the above. If you live in a place for a while you start to notice the bad things, that's called being a conscious human being. Pretending that the people around you are total angels is called being a sucker who will eventually get his ticket punched.
I'm not saying you should shit on the place that you live as an Immigrant, but to pretend that America, China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Ukraine, Colombia, Philipines, Mexico, or any of the places we like to frequent are the lands of milk and honey is, quite frankly, bullshit. No place is perfect and if the locals don't want their shit to be known they should stop doing it.
I could probably list 100 great things about living in China, but I would also temper that list with 100 things I don't like. Is that called being a hater? No, it's called being a conscious person who gives a shit about the advice he gives out.
I could easily be a shill and say "China is the best place on earth for black men," but 2-3 dudes would show up, note the discrepancies and call me out and they should rightfully do that.
For a while, dudes were acting like there were 0 problems in Russia for foreign men, but many men have noted that it isn't all peaches and cream. These are men who have lived there, worked there, married there and have real skin in the game. They're not haters.
You cannot give one-sided portrayal of a country and turn around and say that you know that country very well.
Truth be told, I love hearing criticisms of my great nation because it means an actual human is talking to me instead of some milquetoast who is too afraid to hurt people's feelings.
Suits came to China, started up a service, provides value, speaks Chinese and has performed all the requisite actions necessary to fit in, insofar as a foreigner can fit in.
I'm not really sure why you're getting all salty when he is actually someone who essentially has learned a lot about Chinese culture, provides value in the country but has valid criticisms of the way the people live and interact with others. Fuck, even other Chinese people have grievances with the things suits have listed, but you act as though he is somehow ungrateful and bad for noticing these things?
I know you said you're not Chinese, but the way you react to criticism of Asian cultures really has me wondering if you might not have some hidden Chinese programming going on. "You have insulted the chinese people! You should apologize to Xi Jin Ping!!!!"
