So happy I came across your piece. It helped me see my own doubts so clearly!
I’m Overseas Chinese, grew up in Germany, and I’m traveling across China right now doing personal field research on shifts in Chinese values and worldviews.

Your framing of refusing both the victim narrative and the apologist narrative articulated something I’ve been circling for months.
