I find it hard to reconcile this prospect of inevitable conflict with how genuinely easy to get along and reach mutual understanding with, all the people from China and Taiwan I have taught, lived/studied/worked with over the years have been.
Maybe there's a big domestic base of nationalists that we don't get to interact with in the Anglosphere..
- magicsmoke 6y ago1. Have you explicitly asked them about their thoughts on the status of Taiwan? 2. Did they give polite noncommittal answers or their actual thoughts? In the workplace, you don't usually have coworkers interrogating other coworkers about their geopolitical views around the watercooler and basing their future professional interactions on those views.
- totetsu 6y agowell once in Japanese 101 a kid yelled out Taiwan is not a country when we were learning country names.. I ususlly have more tact than to ask explicitly geopolitical quwstions in the workplace. I am talking about how I dont get the same sense of intransigence from afore mentioned people as i do from say Japanese or Anglosphere
