Thing is I uprooted my family to move to the US 15 years ago and loved it here, and still do. I hate the current everything of course, Ikbut 'm still a bit idealistic and still believe the country will right itself. How long it will take, I don’t know, but I still believe it.
Don’t wanna go back to PRC… omg I remember that ugly looking tiny “apartment” unit… in Guangzhou 15 years ago… dirty as hell, 5 flights of stairs no elevators god damn lol… imagine if you break a leg, how do you even go home / leave home?
I’ve been here since I was 8, this is more “home” than China ever was. I can’t even understand the Chinese internet, the slangs. The complete utter lack of mental health awareness and acceptance. Holy shit my parents are so cruel, especially mom. Can’t imagine asking my recent AskLemmy question on a Chinese Forum. Probably get bombarded with “you disrespecful child” comments.
I like the west much more than China, much more progressive.

In a lot of ways what I see the US turning into is a lot like China. So yeah, that would be tough.
