How might Nash's plantation be seen as a foil to Charles' vision of pre-Communist China in the novel, The Wangs Vs The World?

Both are lands lost to wars and time, but although Charles sees them as "twin losses," he does not see the warning in Nash's home (182). He still imagines China will be the same when he returns to it.
