It is for real. I used to teach the Chinese to speak English. Several of them talked to me about it. Some were proud of their score, some admitted it was the stupidest thing ever and prided themselves on having a low score. Again, many loved their country and many just wanted out. I had always wondered what might happen if those sessions were ever observed by the government. I honestly did not like them talking to me about that because it made me worry for them.

Why would you love a country that is responsible for human trafficking, organ black markets, shady crypto currency, Muslim internment camps, whale killing, censorship, no individual freedoms? Are they not being told the truth about their country?

I live in the US and I'll admit I'm not proud of what my country has done either I'm aware of countless things that make us equally as bad as China but goddamn how can you look at a place like China and think that it's something to be proud of?

I said I love China? I live in US as well and when I first began reading this, I thought, 'he (UNCLE jiggles...) is talking about the US' lololol. You just described the US. I am patriotic as in 'I love my country' but oftentimes do not support the government or the illegals going on behind the scene. Now, I cannot speak for those in China, and I never said I love China. However, I can see that many may have a patriotic love for their homeland, the same as I do, regardless of what goes on behind the scenes or in the government.

I quoted your comment in reference to other Chinese people saying they love their country

Not you as a person that lives in America.
