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.
u/onlydeskfans - originally from r/GenZhouI'd suggest you start studying Chinese whether you end up leaving or not. At least that's what I've been doing having had same thoughts as you. It will be useful outside China also. There's learning apps like HelloChinese and the sub r/ChineseLanguage that can help get you started now for free if you'd like. I'm not a native english speaker so it might not be so easy for me to get jobs in China at least without knowing Mandarin. I want to be able to understand Chinese movies series etc also.
