In #ChineseCulture the numbers #666 aren't seen as sign of devil/evil, it's seen as a positive symbol.

(If you spot “666” in an English horror movie, you might shrink back, thanks to its long-standing link to evil. But if you see it in a Chinese gamer’s chat or a teen’s social media post? Grab the popcorn—they’re complimenting someone! That’s the wild cross-cultural twist of 666 Chinese slang: what feels spooky in the West is pure hype in China. Far from a dark symbol, “666” (pronounced “liù liù liù”) is one of the most popular ways to say “awesome,” “smooth,” or “impressive” online. Let’s with WuKong Education unpack why this number went from “devil’s number” to “vibe check win.”)

What's the appropriate response if an American postdoc says they are so excited about data/project X but their tone and gesturing is flat and unengaged, opposite to the words.

Am I allowed to bring it up as "What makes you concerned about X, is there something wrong?" or similar.

Seems strange to me to leave it unaddressed, but I understand American culture is sorta requiring positive and enthusiastic language.

It was interesting -- the longer I waited, the less antsy I felt. It was a strange cultural lesson.
