You should be commended.He is emblematic in so called China hands, just because he used to teaching in a Beijing university. I have seen so many of those China hands spreading falsehood about things Chinese. But then again, the flip is similar in that very few Chines inside China really understand the west. It took me more than 20 years to start understanding America. And I would not say I know America as well as generation Americans. Oh well
Myself, I realized a decade ago, I was still fresh off the boat.
That will never change as long as I am here in Canada.
But that's okay. Half the country is fresh off the boat, but everyone still gets along well enough.
