I am so disillusioned with the absolute state of Western politics. I don’t know where to begin, I feel like I’m living in ‘They Live’. The constant hypocrisy, the constant slope towards AuthRight. Qanon bullshit everywhere, people becoming increasingly confident of increasingly stupid positions.

My entire family are in a completely different world.

I know I should try to fight for socialism in my own country but I really think the Western mind is beyond help at this point, I’ve felt this way for a long time actually. I’m ML/Dengist.

I’m thinking I want to save for the next 2 years and learn Chinese and find a job in China even if it’s just a translation job, I also have 3D modelling skills, my job prospects here are pretty shit anyway.

Is this doable? How do Chinese people feel about this? Good idea? I would even join PLA if I could.

    im in the same boat, i even had a plane ticket in january 2020 but canceled it when only they had covid.

    iv been learnig chinese with duolingo, anki and a few other apps. they are good to get an hsk 1-2 level foundation but my learning really took off after joining hellotalk and making chinese friends who are trying to learn english.

    i dont want to be an english teacher but im willing to do it until i can get a job in my industry. i have a tourist visa but ive given up trying to guess when they will open up again so i am getting TEFL certs. we may be able to get in sooner with a work visa than waiting for tourist travel post-covid.
