Revealing the authentic China through TheMapleDragonPodcast based on 8 yrs of teaching at the university and high school levels in 3 cities and 2 provinces.

Ten years ago, I traded the familiar streets of Toronto for the unseen splendors of China.

Today, I’m unveiling @TheMapleDragon Podcast, where I share my personal journey filled with resilience, wisdom and profound humanity of a China concealed from Western imagination.

@SamRamani2 If you know the history, this is all very predictable.

[Mark Robson @MapleDragonMark]

@ztisdale @KEriksenV2 And now the US has become what it was rebelling against, Oligarchy!

[Mark Robson @MapleDragonMark]

@lihanghong1988 Let’s go!

@udontgetaccess1 @TheSouthernCon3 @CurtisM40613460 @coyotescat @Worshipcoco28 @krassenstein Totally get it, that’s why I think it’s time for America to wake up to the reality that it’s real enemies are it’s Oligarchs!

[Mark Robson @MapleDragonMark]

@TheSouthernCon3 @CurtisM40613460 @coyotescat @Worshipcoco28 @krassenstein I just hope I can wait that long for this American fantasy of all fantasies
;)

[Mark Robson @MapleDragonMark]

@TheSouthernCon3 @CurtisM40613460 @coyotescat @Worshipcoco28 @krassenstein Yes, the piddly, immature, short-lived US is going to stop the rejuvenation of an, at least 5,000-year old, civilization! Dream on…

@Wisdom_HQ Thanks so much for the reminder!

[Mark Robson @MapleDragonMark]

@lihanghong1988 Have you?

[Mark Robson @MapleDragonMark]

@ShangguanJiewen Did it have something to with the American Dream being the biggest and longest lie humans have ever believed, and for generations? ;)

[Mark Robson @MapleDragonMark]

@uwukko After living in and immersing myself more deeply into Chinese civilization for nine years, it’s hard not to see how everything in the West is about the endless quest for more and more power! Why does it feel so weak? Maybe a little more Buddhism and self-reflection is needed.

[Mark Robson @MapleDragonMark]

@chineseciv Promoting China expert fantasies like this, that next cheque from the CIA should be pretty substantial! ;)

[Mark Robson @MapleDragonMark]

@lihanghong1988 Definitely very beautiful physically, but how is your soul?

[Mark Robson @MapleDragonMark]

@art_xbt @Matador826 Amazing to think that this is what China’s ancient scholar-officials did too!

[Mark Robson @MapleDragonMark]

@Matador826 You sound kind of interesting ;)

[Mark Robson @MapleDragonMark]

@BeijingDai Thanks, I had been wondering about the role feminism was playing in what many of my female students had been saying about not getting married.

[Mark Robson @MapleDragonMark]

@lihanghong1988 That’s where I’m living!

[Mark Robson @MapleDragonMark]

@elonmusk The problem is that everything subject to scientific analysis is also mixed up with human values and any means of defining human values is subjective.

[Mark Robson @MapleDragonMark]

This post might help those suspicious folks re-frame their heavily Western propaganda tainted perceptions of China. I am regularly asked for my opinions on how where I live could be improved for foreigners, including if I think there should be more English!

[Mark Robson @MapleDragonMark]

@FrancoisOuell15 @ccgg31 I agree that the West has very little understanding of China but go even further and say that it has NEVER really understood China!

[Mark Robson @MapleDragonMark]

@ZhaiXiang5 Ok, thanks so much for the advice
