I ask because on basically every post of a video where no Chinese person is doing something bad, people immediately rush to calling it staged; Chinese person provides a needy person a meal? Staged. Chinese person offers meals for free to earthquake rescue workers? Staged. Chinese person helps someone across a road? Staged. Uyghur just operating a stand being asked by an American tourist if they're living peacefully (to which they laugh and say yes)? Staged, or even saying yes because their lives depend on it.
Chinese person being racist however? Real. Chinese person yelling at someone and being rude? Real.
You know that racist trope people have of folks in Africa all believing in different superstitions or something? That's the average American; the bizarre folklore we've created of people around the world would make Tolkien's work seem like low fantasy.
Is it perhaps that white savior movies have rotted people's brains, and they're all imagining their normalcy would make them superior beings in foreign countries?
Fifty to a hundred years from now (maybe even just 20! Chinese people on twitter have always said that every 20 years is a major transformative period; that China always advances such that it's unrecognizable every 20 years), the average American will be participating in the latest hunger games (because let's be honest, those game shows where people humiliate themselves (such as the biggest loser) to earn tons of cash are real life hunger games) while Chinese people will.....I've no idea; I only know America and the Middle East (cause I've been working here for almost two decades), I can't imagine what a country that's zipping along and actually doing what it can to actively advance would even look like that far ahead.
There was a Chinese movie I saw a while back where they used powered exoskeletons to fight an alien invasion, only to find out that those powered exosuits are real and are used in factory work (obviously not as powerful as in the movie, but still extremely capable); for us slave labor and undocumented workers with basically no human rights are still king.
