From what I have seen the Chinese users seem to be pretty happy, if not a little confused, from the sudden influx of English speakers. Many are making spy jokes, asking for cat pics, and requesting help with their English homework. I do understand the worry of some Americans being anti-communist or even racist, but that doesn’t seem to be an issue right now and I think this is a great opportunity to expose westerners to China and socialism.
