2. My political views are more broad
I used to have very "American" political views: democracy is the best, freedom and equality for all, and communism is not functional. To an extent, I still believe this, but I have learned that different political systems can work for different countries and different cultures. I still think that democracy is the best political system for America, but coming to China and seeing that it is a well-functioning society with normal problems just like every other country, I learned that my views shouldn't be so narrow.
