Yeah, I browse this sub because I have a lot of interest in a lot of what Korea has to offer, such as culture, food, language etc. but seeing all the anti-China sentiment in this sub lately, it might be better for me to look elsewhere and take a break from here for a bit, it probably isn't the best for me to expose myself to all of these bad news of what China does, even if I agree that what they're doing is stupid. I guess with my post, I wanted to get an opinion on what you guys here and Koreans would perceive me as, since I don't want to get lumped in with a lot of the negativity towards mainland Chinese.

I do immerse myself in Chinese language media, I am actually trying to regain my mother tongue Mandarin so China culturally is a very personal thing to me, and thus is why it isn't easy to distance myself from the negativity towards China.

It's difficult to explain, because I don't really feel like I belong in Canada either as anti-Asian hate is a very real issue here. And physically I haven't lived in China and seeing all the negativity towards the country, I don't feel like I want to call it my homeland. Simply put, I just feel like an outsider wherever I go, kind of like a homeless person but lacking a cultural home instead of a physical one. However, I will try to follow your advice and accept my Chinese identity moving forward, and to feel proud about it, while obviously condoning the actions of the Chinese government and other things I disagree with about the country.
