shit I'd better make a different plan for my upcoming visit to China
From my understanding, most Chinese people, like most people elsewhere, aren't really political, and don't really want to get involved in long discussions about politics. The "I just want to grill" mentality is universal.
I'm totally kidding I'd much rather learn about the person I'm talking to and their life. I'm not going to bring up politics (other than wearing a sweatshirt with a huge CPC emblem on it)
I'd be the same. I'd totally go up to the old grannies playing mahjong in the park and try to chat with them in broken mandarin.
