It's honestly very wholesome to see this kind of interaction. On top of cute moments like Chinese users telling the new US users that they are their "spies," seeing a lot of blatant myth dispelling surrounding the PRC is great to help tear down the Red Scare.
I was told that I was a spy in RL. Why would a European person learn Chinese? Clearly spy.
My own father asked me unironically if I was a "Chinese sympathizer" over dinner last night, and that was not the end of it.
Oh interesting! But very different experience, I was called a spy by Chinese people.
Edit: nevermind, he is just being rude.
Oh, sorry to mislead, let me clarify: I am being dismisive, and do not care about you
It really is like 50s anti-soviet paranoia
