In this interview, we talked with Kevin, a California native who, in his words, went from an almond milk latte drinking millennial liberal who viewed Donald Trump’s 2016 election as a catastrophe to America, to someone who voted for him in 2020.
As for what caused that drastic change -- he cites his four year experience living in China.
So why did learning about China change his views on US politics?
And as a Mandarin speaker and reader, what did he learn about how Chinese people look at America?
We also talked about whether China is actually a socialist society by definition, the Chinese peoples' obsession over money, and how to stay rational and less biased in this polarized world.

Many of Trumps opponents oppose him not for being Trump but for Hillary or party affiliation

If he was surprised by anti-American sentiment in China, he should visit more countries. There are a lot of places with pretty strong anti-imperial sentiment. The obsession with money makes China sound less like communism and more like fascism or corporatocracy. Also interesting this guy thinks being a centrist puts him in some kind of "out group" when centrism is the dominant political thought here. He might be confusing "centrist" with "independent."

You consider the United States (i.e. America) an imperialist nation? Oh, I initially missed that you were a "Partner Operations Manager at Google (Internet)".
The "Long Gray Line" has never failed the United States, so I still have hope for you.

Yes, I do. We have over 700 military bases around the world. Bet you, whoever is #2, has less than 100. Occupying countries around the world and conducting economic warfare throughout places like LATAM, what would you call it?
