[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hell yes.  I’d send my kid out of the country for a good education.  Out of the country is awesome as why would anyone want to stay here where a trump is?!

The other thing you need to understand us Chinese culture differs in that they don’t realize care too much about Americans the way Americans constantly paint Russians and Chinese as enemies.  They are actually pretty chill about foreign affairs as someone who has lived there for many years that’s my experience.

But yeah, Taiwan works too but actually Taiwanese are more into foreign affairs than average Chinese (I’m actually Taiwanese).

Op here. I signed off for awhile, thanks for responding with some more direct experience! I tend to agree with you about having a chance to study elsewhere, especially with all the crap going on in the US. This would only be for a semester. Dc will be a junior in college when he goes, and is more interested in Shanghai but I don’t see why Taiwan couldn’t work too and the Chinese he studied for the first number of years of his life was Taiwanese mandarin. He doesn’t speak any Cantonese. He’s Asian in appearance (half) which may make the transition to Asia slightly easier,  although his mandarin is not great so it’s not like he’d ever pass for a local. He also cares little about politics, doesn’t post on social about it, etc. It’s just not his thing.

Doesn’t Taiwan have political unrest? Or am I just focusing on isolated headlines?
