Hi everyone, Thomas Shaw here. Real native Chinese who live in Beijing.
Been to Canada and USA for travelling when I was in high school and college, since then the world I imagined has collapsed. I once thought USA was all that powerful and rich and people were friendly, but witnessing those homeless in Seattle and LA really hit me.
I used to search for western narrative just for the complement of Chinese events, but now I'm so fed up with it. Their hostility, prejudice and ignorance will eventually ruin them, as far as I concern.
Never thought I would find an English forum that is friendly or at least neutral to China, and here it is an amazing place. Still, I need those angles from outside my country, and I like to observe most of the time, but I will also share some of my perspectives from the inside. Hopefully we can have a good time here!
