OK this is hilarious. So, some Chinese on #RedNote don't believe the stories Americans are telling them about America because they thing it's too unbelievable.
So this OP is asking Malaysians to confirm if it's true 😆
Why Malaysians? We are rather famous (in China anyway) for being able to speak multiple languages including English and Chinese so... 😅😆🤣
Translation of post:
The situations that TT talked about, aren’t they just fooling us?
Are there any Malaysian friends who can answer this? Since you’re fluent in multiple languages, and there’s no "firewall" (referring to internet restrictions), you’re exposed to both sides. But it feels like even you don’t seem to fully understand if such situations exist in the US. Things like having to work three or four jobs, struggling just to survive, not being able to afford food, etc. It sounds so exaggerated. It feels like it’s even worse than the lower class in our small towns earning a 2,000 monthly salary. Are they fooling us, waiting for us to believe it and then turning around to laugh at how gullible we are? I really want to know!
