because he was brainwashed since birth, living in a different country.

the rest of china raise their children to be in collectivism, while american chinese raised to be individualist, and to do whatever they feel like doing, kinda like wild wild west.

they only do things out of self interest 1st and for others 2nd.

the majority chinese do things for the future of their children and to set examples for them to learn by.

They have every right to be proud of their country, and the 5000+yrs civil
