I was the second child in my family born during the one child policy. They tried to force an abortion on my mother. She was from a village and fled to a city and hide. Once I was born, they couldn’t justify killing a child that has already been born, so they let me live, but my parents have to pay tens of thousands of RMB (¥) and that took several years to pay off. And if you don’t pay that, they deny issuing a birth certificate, essentally you don’t legally exist if your parents couldn’t pay the fine. But they eventually did and got all the documents.
We left China when I was still in elementary school. My mother told me about this when I was a kid and I didn’t really understand what she meant. Then when I was around highschool age, I kinda had an existential crisis. I almost never had a chance to exist because of some crazy government policy.
Most people hate the CCP because of authoritarianism, but for me, it not just the authoritarianism, I have a personal grudge against the CCP.
I am in the US… so for now yea? I’m not sure tho. Fascism also seems popular here. Out of one dictatorship, into another country with racism and rising fascism. Kinda sucks to see every country in the world just enshittifying. I don’t think there’s ever a safe place for Chinese-Americans.
Also Australia is one of the least racist countries in the world. Try to name 5 countries as genuinely diverse and multicultural, and welcoming as Australia. Best I could think of is NZ, maybe Canada 5 years ago but its pretty Americanised these days.
Mate im from Australia and I’m saying find me somewhere less racist?
Euros openly say shit about Roma that not even a QLDer would have said about Aboriginal peoples in the 70s, not to mention their treatment towards Turks or Africans. America is well America. Canada is trying to be America. Asians discriminate against every other Asian country. India currently going through ethnic genocide, M.E., etc. etc..
You will not find many countries that are less racist in the world.
