Pretty sure if I criticized the CCP, the wumaos will call me a “汉奸” (“han traitor”) despite me not having PRC Citizenship anymore (and I didn’t even renounce it, they were the ones that revoked it 🤷♂️)
It’s a pretty widely accepted fact that no matter your citizenship, the party will always consider you Chinese ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Out of curiosity, do you know where the phenomenon of Chinese people, outside china, referring to locals as ”外国人“ stems from？I’ve found this fascinating as in english you refer to yourself as a foreigner when you are in another country, not the locals.
Is this just a language thing, or is this also influenced by the mindset brought on by heavier nationalism (than I’m used to, anyway, in Australia), in your opinion?
