I speak Chinese at a fairly high level and I’ve been in this circle for a long time and I can tell you that almost every white guy with a thing for China has screws loose. They tend to be dimwitted, have poor values, and care mostly about personal gain.
I started learning Chinese years ago because I thought it would impress a girl I liked. Eventually when I went to China I was apprehensive. I was not comfortable. The sky was grey. Most of the people spoke like they were lobotomized. I felt like I was in a place that had something wrong with it, like if I had gone to North Korea. But I also saw signs of hope. I made good friends. Despite what I’ve seen, I love the country and I love the people. I pray every day for their freedom.
My language skills opened ALOT of doors and let me tell you that if you’re a white guy in China, the red carpet rolls out. Opportunities fall in your lap. People want to be your friend. Unfathomable numbers of girls like you. I mean they literally chase you. They DM you. Their mom chases you and says you should meet my daughter. I’m not joking.
My Chinese skills created opportunity everywhere. I posted one video of me speaking Chinese and had 100,000 followers almost instantly. And they were good kids. It’s not their fault they were born in China. I miss them. I used to chat with my fans in group chats. We’d joke around. Or I’d just vent.
But I couldn’t do it anymore. I couldn’t exist as a figure on Chinese platforms under the condition that I acquiesce to the CCP by remaining silent.
So I gave it all up. I gave up my friends, my fans, my followers. I lost the love of my life. I lost money. All of those doors slammed shut. I became persona non grata. I can’t even tell you how much that hurt. I am not a child; I have experienced suffering. This is a once-in-a-lifetime shock. The Chinese government came after me, sent their MSS agents to threaten people I know and try to get in my head. It failed. They also come here to call me names and threaten to kill me and such.
I did it because I decided that telling the truth and resisting evil is more important than any of those things.
I’m not a perfect person. Sometimes I do things I regret. I have struggles. I’m not some saint or paragon of moral virtue. But I did find it in myself to do literally the hardest thing because it was also the right thing.
And 99% of foreigners who learn Chinese or are involved with China do not have that in them. They either acquiesce or worse—they cooperate.

White guys obsessed with China all seem to be CCP shills. One of the most prominent western Wumao on the site is literally built like the guy in the left image. (Jason Smith is a heavy boy).
Communists are bad people btw.
A lot of “white guys obsessed with Japan” are interested in martial arts and as such there are way more jacked weebs than there are jacked Wumao.
You’ll never be Chinese btw, Kevin.
