Young Americans Embrace Chinese Culture Through 'Chinamaxxing' Internet Trend

A growing internet trend called "Chinamaxxing" sees young Americans embracing Chinese culture through fashion, lifestyle, and memes, often playfully adopting Chinese aesthetics like traditional clothing and daily routines. This phenomenon reflects a fascination with Chinese culture despite geopolitical tensions, driven by social media and a search for alternative cultural identities amid domestic challenges in the US. While some view it as appreciation, others question if it borders on aesthetic appropriation.
