It's honestly very wholesome to see this kind of interaction. On top of cute moments like Chinese users telling the new US users that they are their "spies," seeing a lot of blatant myth dispelling surrounding the PRC is great to help tear down the Red Scare.

I was told that I was a spy in RL. Why would a European person learn Chinese? Clearly spy.

My own father asked me unironically if I was a "Chinese sympathizer" over dinner last night, and that was not the end of it.

Oh interesting! But very different experience, I was called a spy by Chinese people.

Edit: nevermind, he is just being rude.

It really is like 50s anti-soviet paranoia
