36. I'm basing it on a few assumptions that may not be correct

I realize that there are a lot of people in China doing very well. And I know that currently the government seems to be giving most people a very long lesh. My assumption would be that the more contact the have with Americans, the more the would seek our lifestyle. But maybe that's not the case. Maybe it's a US-centric attitude not grounded in reality.

After 4 years of Trump and 74 million people who voted to re-elect him, maybe human rights aren't important to a lot of humans.
