Is this troublesome?

The China-US relations have been embroiled in various talks about EU and euro. The forward looking attitude often is met with a certain policy directive getting both countries engage in tit for tat rebukes. Since 2022 I have been excluded from the local libraries, Toronto public library. Today I tried to fill out an appeal form which is reminded me of many troubles I have faced since graduation. Chinese people often gets discriminated in North America for their accents, skin colors and tempers. I have often found people tell me to lower my voice when I try to speak with them. This seems to be one reason I found it hard to engage in conversations with locals. The recent China – US visit from Donald J. Trump and many other political leaders tells me much about how people work in the countries. They often see their works as personal and regional in order to make ends meet. The implication of many local and international disputes has led people believe they are constantly in troubles. This has brought up my ideas of traveling as a way or method to find myself works and updating my work portfolios. So when I look at China- US relations I see often adversity brews in these diplomatic ties. It often makes me worried about my own life. It has severely enhanced the effect of surveillance technology. What can people say more about these augmented realities? Etc.
