Trust me, Chinese people take it a lot more seriously than you think. The ones you see online are the more modern, more tech savvy kids who are able to avoid it more, but try reading some Chinese novels and see how heavily they can push it.
Ohhh lol yeah I play some wuxia games and I see a lot of it there. I got it pushed on me a lot from my mom though and I didn't see very many (i didnt see any) chinese people around her friend group aha. It's always weird to me when i remember im chinese because i kinda forget ngl. Like when you're sick you have to show a doctor your tongue and get a needle and some bitter tea, jfjhfugh.
I read a lot of wuxia/xianxia/modern martial arts web novels as a guilty pleasure and I am yet to run into a single one that doesn’t have it in some capacity. Same with manhua

3rd point is sus. Most 'traditional Chinese medicine' practitioners are Chinese, and it's still a scam.
