​I have talked with a few mainland Chinese people over the last few months, and I still feel I haven't quite gotten a "general view" or understanding of how Chinese people view the world

​The people I spoke with were very diverse Some were gay, some were married, others were students, and some were living abroad

​But none of them has quite eased my "itch" of knowing how they see the world and their political viewpoints... So for those who have interacted with both Mainland Chinese and the broader Chinese diaspora (like immigrants or those born abroad), what differences in mentality have you noticed?

The other guy is from Taiwanese diaspora, and is fully west-pilled, hates mainlanders, hates the CPC, wants Taiwanese independence etc. they’re not sending their best clearly.

Hongkongers abroad are much the same, in my experience. Rabidly anti-mainland to the point that some of them proudly display the flag of British Hong Kong. It's too much even for the most anti-mainland west-pilled mainlander I've interacted with. Those back in Hong Kong seem to be more of a mixed bag, same with Taiwan. Probably more pro-mainland Hongkongers than Taiwanese but this is just the general vibe I got from observing strangers rather than asking.
