> That's quite interesting, because most of Chinese can only understand what's being colonized, but never understand what's colonizing and genocide.

You are saying that Chinese people don't even realize their colonialism and their genocides. Unless you're sarcastic, it is not the flex you think it is. Also LOL at you using "white" as a slur.

You see, that's what I aim to express, but you can not understand

You can only understand such thing with certain history context/knowledge, without it, it's very likely you can not understand what I'm talking about, vice versa, so do I

The difference is I know your history, you don't know mine

like the statement above:

> Everybody already moved to red book and are starting to recognize that the US is just an aging colonialist with nothing to offer the future

it's not true, most Chinese in Xiaohongshu are not recognize the US as 'colonialist', like I said, many of us don't even know what 'colonialist' even mean

They just recognize the US as an aging 'imperialist'(mostly refer to refers to inflation and healthcare), that's what most Chinese can understand

And, 'white' is not a slur, it's history
