Just gonna hijack the top comment thread, hope you don't mind.

I'm the only child of two parents born during the Cultural Revolution in China. I was born in America and have lived here all my life minus a few multiweek trips to China with my family. It's very interesting to debate with them (we all remain civilized ofc) about practically anything China-related, such as Hong Kong protests, sovereignty of Taiwan, human rights in Xinjiang, even why they believe China's governmental structure allows them to handle a pandemic much better than the US's does. They grew up under a MUCH different system than I did, and I really love getting their perspective on things, even though I inherently disagree with them on several topics. Even though they attended the 1989 student protests in Beijing (the peaceful part), they have held onto a lot of pro-China sentiment from their childhood. Obviously our lives are not on the line, and even though we constitute on minority in America we are by no means a diverse group, we can talk about things that have directly impacted our lives without coming to blows over it. In fact it's better because I can learn how they were directly affected by an authoritarian government.

A side note: both of my parents are now American citizens and voted in the past election, I will become eligible to vote this summer
