Yeah totally fair. My apologies for appearing to defend their comments, they're so out of the blue and textbook sinophobia I'm like they must be doing a bit, but you're right a more simple explanation is that they're just racist.

They did, then have vowed to recriminalise it before year-end. Plus, for people who consume cannabis (and I think this includes CBD), China considers having presence of drugs in the system the same as consuming drugs within the country. Tourists travelling to PRC after consuming cannabis in Thailand have been caught out and charged.

OP's post history on the bear at least appears to be on the up and up. They're flying very close to the sun tho for someone from a different instance

我想{当|dang}墨西哥人/我想{成为|chengwei}墨西哥人 ---> I want to be Mexican/I want to become Mexican

当 here means 'to be' in the sense of 'act in the capacity of' and by extension 'be'

是 as a verb is closer to 'is' in the sense of 'equals' and isn't directly substitutable with the English word 'is' or 'are' 100% of the time. For example someone can ask "你昨晚来的吧' 'You arrived last night?' and you can reply '是/是的' for 'yes'. It's affirming the statement as correct in a polite way. It's a bit of a learning curve but not insurmountable.

Not trolling, actual slang. NB is probably not for polite company though because the second character (that's now substituted with the letter or other homophones) means 'p*ssy'. You can skip that association entirely by just saying the first half {牛|niu} sounds like 'new'

I think I enjoy wechat a bit more for now because there are channels that do movie and tv show summaries so I can watch the latest slop (like the latest squid game) without wasting the same amount of time. The xhs algo hasn't yet done it for me. Lots of 'refugees' and cat vids, and lots of anglo tiktok content. Hopefully it starts to narrow down? But lmao at this comment I came across: A: why does he have no lips?
B: probably British

maw
