Meet Cyrus Janssen: an American who's called Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Vancouver home for over a decade. After a recent Foreign Policy article painted China through a skewed lens, Janssen fired back in a viral video, arguing that Western narratives often miss the mark.
\"Living here showed me a China that’s evolving faster than a TikTok trend,\" Janssen says, pointing to infrastructure growth, cultural vibrancy, and tech innovation. He critiques the article’s \"outdated stereotypes,\" likening it to \"judging a Netflix series by its pilot episode.\"
Janssen’s take? Dialogue over division. He urges young globetrotters and digital natives to seek firsthand perspectives: \"The real story isn’t in headlines—it’s in the streets, markets, and WeChat moments.\"
