From what I’ve seen, and also experienced, the expats who were genuinely friendly have not experienced any anti-western feelings. It’s more like in the past, the locals would often defer to western expats and basically put us on a pedestal. Now, especially with the younger generation, that deference is gone. They treat western expats as any other normal person. The expats that we’re once used to a certain level of obedience are no longer comfortable with this new assertiveness and see it as anti-western feelings. Whereas those of us that were never cared for that in the first place, don’t experience anything different. I think this is also evident in the type of Youtubers that either remained or left China.
