I think it’s healthy to be a little paranoid when your paranoia level matches what you’re seeing.
Imagine being a Chinese citizen who reads the news a lot and every couple months, they read a story about how an American or a “Western” person living in China stole some IP from a Chinese company.
How do you think they’re going to feel about Americans and Westerners?
With this in mind, I wouldn’t blame a person if they were more distrustful of a Chinese coworker than say, a British coworker.
This is how it works, unfortunately.
- pishpash 8y agoThis is how propaganda works, too, unfortunately. Propaganda isn't usually false, but just gives an unbalanced impression, e.g. where is the news report of every other trade-secret violation?
