I hope that in publicly questioning the narratives I’ve been fed all my life I am not assumed to be advocating for China.

I just like to try to think critically, compare disparate sources, and not pretend that I’m somehow immune to propaganda.

It seems like people are quick to try to label me a tankie these days for engaging with the world in that way, but I don’t consider myself a tankie. It feels like a thought-terminating cliche.
