Things which have had a profound influence on my views and outlook in the past year:

1) Hong Kong protests and western coverage of it
2) The Campaign against Huawei
3) Trump's trade war
4) Scapegoating of China over the virus

People are always going to accuse my views of being inauthentic or a "CCP line" but that's insulting to my own intelligence, experiences and perspective. The anti-China push by the U.S has had an effect on me and has changed me.
