In the shoes of others

I had certain preconceived ideas towards Chinese people, and coming here, everything just fell apart

- I'm from Goa, a small state in India. When I came here, I had certain preconceived ideas towards Chinese people, and coming here, everything just fell apart, which I'm very happy about!

- After meeting Chinese people here, is that what you mean?

- Yes! And they are all very nice people! I think we should understand that the hatred we have towards China is not against the people at all!

- It's about their government, right?

- It is the government of China, obviously! And there's probably the same thing with other countries as well...

- Most certainly, yes! The Chinese government is such a sensitive topic... ultimately though, it doesn't represent who Chinese people are, definitely! Glad you mentioned how actually meeting Chinese people changed your mind!
