u'\nI have been living in China for a little over 1.5 years and I have understood much of the much secretive and claimed \u2018Communist\u2019 Political system that I have to accept, globally, people only have stereotypes about. In these 1.5 years, My most preferred ice-breaker with people I meet for the first time, is their political opinions towards the government. Sometimes, It can backfire but I have known the boundaries of its sensitivity.During my experience here, I have talked with many students, working professionals, CEOs of a few companies to even a few Baristas. One common feeling which remains same in each of these interactions is the sheer positivity towards their government.Wait, What?I have been to 20+ countries in over 5 continents and the political perception of people towards their government intrigues me. I have had such conversations with many, all over the world. But, I haven\u2019t experienced as many people being positive about their government as in China. So, This comes as a shock to many of my friends overseas. Some, even call it brainwashing.I read more about it & I discovered that India & China are leading the Global Trust Levels in Business and Government. You can check it out HERE.In many of my conversations with my friends overseas, It is common for many of them to openly criticize their government and its policies. Most of these conversations just end with, either \u2018I am sick and tired of this system\u2019 or \u2018the next government will be better\u2019.China\u2019s political system remains a global controversy & It was important for me to understand the reasons behind it. So, I decided to write down some of my experiences.Before, I move on, I have a disclaimer - This is a neutral perspective coming from a Global Citizen, not an individual of 1 specific country. And, I have one request, try more to understand than to be understood. For once. I did the same and have been doing the same for over 1.5 years.Last Month, I saw many of my social media feeds going viral over Donald Trump\u2019s victory. I think the topic of \u2018Our Political System :o itself, for us or for some specific people\u2019 has become even more important and urgent topic to talk about. Against the popular perceptions, the chinese political model has taken my interest to new heights. Here are some of its highlights -ForDemocracy or No Democracy - The biggest myth of the chinese the same in many countries. The much acclaimed \u2018Largest Democracy in the World\u2019 - India, has the same system where people vote for the member of parliament who in the end choose the prime minister of the country (the equivalent of the Chinese president). The point is - It\u2019s democracy. Yes, It can be questioned. But, on a scale of \u2018Yes\u2019 or \u2018No\u2019, it\u2019s a \u2018Yes\u2019.its political system - \u2018It\u2019s not democracy\u2019. Well, it\u2019s wrong. People in China do vote for their local councillors who in the end are supposed to choose the bigger leaders in the political arena. It is true that many people don\u2019t know about this process and how it works as the process is not transparent and some people just don\u2019t care. It\u2019s also true that a layman can\u2019t vote to choose the president of the country. ButEarn a voting right - If you want to play a role in the National Politics The Communist party. It\u2019s important to understand the \u2018one party system\u2019. People need to be a party member in order to vote for the Chinese President.party i.e. or vote for the Chinese president. Then, you have to be a Chinese Communist party member. China is a Democracy but has only oneSingle Party System - Yes, ito a single party rule. But, wait, Singapore has a Single party rule too since no other political party or coalition of parties has been successful in winning enough votes to form a government. An extremely efficient democracy based on popular perceptions. So, One party ruling the country is not unique. And, China is not an exception here.Being a party member - The next question is, how to be a party member? In order to be a party member, a person needs to be influential enough to earn a right to vote in the presidential elections. Although, the exact number remains to be a secret but I read it online that the Communist Party of China has over 87.79 Million Members (24.7% Female) till June 2016.Well, that was the Chinese Political system that I have understood till now. But the important part is, What is my opinion about it? So, here are my experiences when I talk with people about it.Democracy or No Democracy - In one of my conversations with Terry, A Bar Tender in Beijing who had won many awards for his work. He learnt Bar tending to decide the result of the elections but in reality they don\u2019t. Look at what they did, They did Brexit and now are suffering. Democracy works in a Board Room, in an office when a company/team is deciding, basically within a group of 10 people or so, deciding something about their work since the team is supposed to work in one direction but not a country". Well, he proved me wrong in the conversation of \u2018People having a say in deciding the election results\u2019.different in reality it\u2019s not even 0.1%. Let\u2019s look at a UK, when I was studying there, UK has a population of 60+ million, when they vote, they think their vote will make a matters but them believe in this delusion that their vote vote making from a school in the UK. He says "\'Democracy is a delusion\u2019 because people are made to believe (by the media, current government) that they have a say in the bigger political system. But, in reality, they don\u2019t". He gave me some data, he said "You are Indian, right? What\u2019s India\u2019s Population? Really big, right? How many people do you have? 1 billion or so? Tell me, how 1 person in 1 billion people can have a say in the political system which has over a billion people. You don\u2019t. You are just made to believe and asked toEarn a voting right - In a recent conversation with one of my colleagues Charles, he said "We grow up in a world where we are told that education is everything. The higher you study the better your future is or the more successful you are going to be. Now, let\u2019s combine democracy with it. In this case, people who have won a noble prize/ A scientist/ A person with a PHD are supposed to be the most successful people. Can you equate them with a person who never been to a school?" My answer was no. He replies "Exactly but\u2019.democracy what happens in China". Well, he proved me wrong too in the conversation of \u2018Only People make the decision in a thats that\u2019s what democracy does. You see, everyone has only 1 Vote in a Democracy. How can we argue that a person who is not even educated will have enough decision making ability to vote for the right person. How can you treat them equal. It\u2019s not possible. That\u2019s why you got to earn a right to vote by proving your ability to vote andSingle Party System - In a recent conversation with Marc, one of my friends who lives in my apartment, we were talking about Brexit. He said, "Brexit is a joke. First they always a long term plan. That\u2019s the reasons China has grown so much in the last 30 years." Well, he proved me wrong on the topic of \u2018Having multiple parties in a political system\u2019 too. a) and the new government cancels the plans of the previous government? But, In China, there is democarcy of global concept means that tomorrow it can have more space for more people. The government wants to do that. But, if there was a second political party then they will come here and not let it happen. It stops the economic growth and a country\u2019s overall growth. What if tomorrow the government changes (referring to homeless but it because the opposition parties will lose out on their vote banks if the bill is passed. You just can\u2019t move on in a multi-party system". He was referring to the Gun Rights Bill in the US House. "Look at a China, you see that building (referring to a 45 floor building from the window), tomorrow you may see a higher building there. That higher building doesn\u2019t mean that the people living there are now going to be enough but things will move on, and won\u2019t be stopped. Look at the US, the government works for years and years to make a bill and then the opposition party rejects it. Not because the bill wasn\u2019t good Atleast voted and then they realized, Oops, we did wrong. Now, can we vote again?" He was referring to the survey of more than 50% of people wanting to vote again on Brexit, in the UK. He went on saying "If there is one party then they will do what they think is right. Plus, there is nobody else to oppose it.Being a Party Member - During a casual meet up with some of my friends from the previous company I used to work for, they started talking about one of our colleagues who recently became a Chinese Communist Party Member. I asked "Isn\u2019t it unfair that only limited people have a right to vote?" Well, that turned out to be a trigger to have a 3 hours long conversation. I asked them, how do you exactly become a party member? One of them replies,For some reason, Quora Editor gives me problems to write long answers. You can check the original post here - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/w...\nThis is just a stream of thought response based on my experiences this summer. I had a great time, but I like to analyze things and was actively looking for differences.I traveled to Nanjing this summer and stayed for just short of a month. Other than finding the humidity unbearable, I was fascinated by the mix of old world culture and futuristic society. In some ways with the street vendors and the open markets I felt like I was back in the 17th century, but everyone has smart phones.Most of the buildings are new, but not well maintained (except for the nice shiny downtown). Kids played outside like I did backin the 1980s. Everyone where t shirts with English writing on them which they probably don\u2019t understand.The more urban centers feel like something out of minority report or blade runner but with less dystopia and much more materialism. Capitalism is the name of the game here. From the street side food sellers to of course the large enterprises. The worst service came from state controlled places, everyone else was always eager to get the sale no matter what.The pollution wasn\u2019t as terrible as I had expected, but I\u2019m sure it has been worse. There are no rules of the road, at least not enforced - and the right of way goes to cars, the Scooters, then bicycles, and finally pedestrians. But at least they warn you. I haven\u2019t decided if that chaos results in better drivers or worse, but I decided it was safest to look in all directions everywhere when walking because the sidewalks are as likely to have scooters as the bike lanes (much bigger and separated from the main road).Where I was, I might not see another white person for days. I was quite conscious of it. It was intimidating and exhilarating, everyone tried to say hello in English, several times they wanted to get a photograph with me.Law enforcement was very local and comment, but felt more like unarmed security guards. Not intimidating and generally let everyone mind there own business - not authoritarian at all. I did see some police or guards with AK-47s, but that was only once.Public transit was amazing - buses, subways, trains. Easy to use, frequent and though crowded, they seemed the best way to get around.the shear number of KFC restaurants. The Chinese love their fried chicken. Starbucks is common too, but just as expensive as in the US. Most of the restaurants are local mom and pa shops. i was aware the food in China is nothing like the Chinese food in the west. I think I had more tofu than rice. It was good, but my western stomachs could not tolerate the idea of tripe.As for food - most of it is fresh. Even Walmart had live animals (fish, frogs\uff09that you can buy for food. Drinks are room temperature or warmer, it is looked at as being barbaric and unhealthy to drink cold drinks by most people I encountered. The cold soft drinks were still warm for my taste. Chocolate is very limited - mostly just snickers bars.Shopping in malls was similar to America, but there is way more staff. It is like it was before the vast cuts for efficiency in the 80s. The prosperity is very visible. The way things are sold is different. Groceries that are sold by weight are weighed at one of the many stations in the store, instead of the til. Buying clothing didn\u2019t seem so different. At least they were air conditioned. 38 degrees Celsius and 85 percent humidity are not pleasant for a Canadian such as myself. Interestingly enough, when entering these AC palaces of survival, the doors are large thing plastic strips that you just separate like vertical blinds.Of course you can\u2019t visit a city in China without talking about the crowds. Yes it is crowded, but where I was it was never such that I was frustrated. Also, being taller than most people, I could easily see over everyone\'s heads. There is a very obvious difference between younger generation that have only know prosperity - more western in appearance, more materialistic, willing to hold hands, than with the older generations who grew up in villages and received little education. Their appearance and health seems very different. One beggar women actually grabbed my arm aggressively expecting money. Violently. It was weird.Anyone who could afford to buy a home several years ago when they were dirt cheap, may own several now - and they sell for a huge amount. There is a lot of hidden wealth - it was like what I would have expected from the gold rush days.There are so many more things. It was my first chance to travel overseas. I plan on going back. The people were nice, the speech does sound aggressive - it is not, just the nature of the language sound. I went out for dinner with others often and they were all exceptionally accommodating and friendly. Oh yeah, and Canadian dollars go really far there. 30 dollars got three of us a nice dinner in a decent restaurant in downtown Shanghai.I definitely noticed a more pronounced class-ism though. Not by culture or race, but on education and family status. It seemed heavily ingrained in the culture - a certain disrespect for those of lower education such as farmers or vendors. It\u2019s probably changing - some of those old farmers are pretty wealthy - sold their farms for a lot, and now just sell watermelons. Oh yeah, so many watermelons. Cheap, delicious. Mmmm. Stinky Tofu - smells like shit - tastes great.I felt much safer there than anywhere else I have lived. At night, I never felt like that shady person was planning on stealing my wallet, or going to rob me. Their just seems to be less desperation, and harmony is a strong part of the culture. There were some places that had a bit more of a slum like feel, but not so intimidating as Hastings in Vancouver.Though there is plenty more, I will leave by mentioning the great firewall. It was annoying. The people there are well aware of it. They do complain. They complain about the government openly. They have as many beefs as we in the west, but the tremendous growth in prosperity and the culture gives them less incentive to put up a fight. There is definitely propaganda. On the level of nationalism we see in the US. They think they know about the outside world as well as most Americans who haven\u2019t traveled abroad think they do. Their knowledge is just as incorrect. They know about Mao\u2019s Great Leap Forward, Cultural revolution, Tienanmen, but don\u2019t bring it up, and some thought it was all justified, others think it was terrible, and destroyed much of their heritage. If anything - in Nanjing, people really don\u2019t like the Japanese government, and I can\u2019t blame them considering what happened.That\u2019s enough.(edited for spelling mistakes - I typed the entire thing on my ipad ugh)\nAuthor with the statue of well known artist in the West Lake, Hangzhou, ChinaBackground: I am Canadian citizen and soon in a few years it be close to 50 years in this country, I am from the east Indian heritage. I have had worked in the Canadian dairy/food/flavor industry from managerial to executive positions. I had a good run in this profession for about 30 years and took very early retirement to chase my own dream in another line of work and it has been 15 years and hopefully I keep counting for a long time.In addition I have two master\u2019s degrees one from u of Punjab India in dairy science and the other from u of Guelph Canada, in food science.My Chinese connection: I was born in a small town in Indian region of Punjab, our primary school teacher used to tell us that our neighbor China is very civilized country, in fact when most of the world was living in caves they were studying astronomy. They invented several things which contributed to the advancement of the world.This fired my brain (imagination) and sowed the seed about China/Chinese, also being Indian due to Buddhism and neighbor we saw China very friendly and very good country in the mid 50s. Our relationship with China became sour after 1962 conflict, and China then was very closed country, visa was impossible, and travelling from India was not a joke though my family was reasonably okay. Regardless, my teacher described the word picture and from a tender age of 5 used to imagine the beauty and very nice country of our neighbors.Then I migrated to Canada, but my dream did not die, and then in Canada I had nothing but positive interactions with Chinese, as my professors, class mates, coworkers, neighbors, friends, reports and now business dealings.Finally I made my first and then second trip and now several are in the planning to go back to China. My ultimate goal is to see/explore this country from one end to the other, so far my health allows it, I want to keep exploring this great country,civilization and people.I am very thankful to Chinese authorities to give 10 years visa without any restriction on visits, with maximum stay of 6 months. My Canadian citizenship might have helped to grant such a nice visa, also my Nexus status might have contributed to positive decision.I am law abiding citizen: when in Rome do as Romans do, I am standing, in Tienanmen square, however I was very scared I had heard that security is very tight in there. Regardless, I was free to move around with total freedom. No one bothered me, and I had very nice visit to the Forbidden City.Now the answer to the Question: Simply breath taking beautiful, unbelievable mega country with no substitute on the earth for me. Salute to China and Chinese for such a huge leap. It is totally different what media had played and the impression people have, in my books not even close what so ever. I am no fear to go back again and again, and even live there. My teacher 60 years ago or so was not wrong, he was in fact very conservative, in firing my imagination of this great country.I started with very positive attitude towards China and Chinese, and I was totally blown away the with greatness, politeness, cleanliness, discipline, personal safety, law and order and shear grandeur of land mass and huge population. I already had in my mind but after the visit I am 100 percent decided that my grand kids must learn Mandarin, visit the country several times, and see the length, breadth and height of this continued civilization of over 5000 years. They must learn from it all positive things of hard work, discipline, fine arts, architecture, above all one of the best food in the world. One life may not be enough to try all the cuisine, variety and food culture of China, therefore they should start very early. What more tribute I can give to this great country and people that I wanted to enroll my American born grand kids, with endless choices to live and study anywhere they want, but if I had a say, I want them to go to school in China at least for a few years, where they must learn first hand, what is called hard work and studies, and ying yang of the proper balance in life.Sure China/Chinese have problems but who does not?Sure China has mega problems which country does not but I am very sure China/Chinese have a long history fighting and solving their problems, they have resilience and come through. I know I know I know, I will hear \u2018 freedom of speech, slave labor, poor quality, pollution, still lot of poverty, dirty wash rooms, people spitting on the road, \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.this list goes on\u2026.. sorry not to mention Google and Facebook, are not available there, but they will just fine without those two luxuries in life, I learned to live without it, and did just fine\u2026.well may be a little withdrawal symptoms in the beginning and got over it. Well, Beijing roasted duck and dim sum helped a lot sooth that pain.Please let us check our own back yard first are we as squeaky clean as we portray?My answer to all those : I have lived here in the west soon it be 50 years, and let us check our own back yard, in my view we will find lot of things which are not as glorious as we portray.China has seen lot of ups and downs, such as Mongolian and Manchurian regimes, some of the modern time injustices which included, physical , financial, respect, and humiliation and lose lot of wealth, it is called 100 years of humiliation which included losing HK, opium wars, favorable settlement to other countries , after the fall of The Last Emperor, one visit to Nanjing museum will open your eyes. Well guys now the Dragon is wake and it is not imaginary anymore, as Phoenix has risen from ashes. Say Hello(nihoma) to the new very powerful guy on the street in modern times, he was very powerful in the ancient time, but he is back now.We could think about poverty, slums, homelessness, corruption, frauds, drive by shooting, drugs, sex scandals, and the list goes on,\u2026\u2026\u2026in the west also. Is democracy that great\u2026\u2026.really ?? if it is, the question should be: will it work for massive country in land mass and population in China? let the political pundits decide\u2026.I may have my ideas\u2026..but they are not qualified.A word of caution to myself:I decided long time ago, that I will look only positive things in people, living and non living things, write about it so that I may leave some legacy for my grand kids, or who so ever find some merit in it.You want to visit China : please go with very positive attitude, leave the pre conceived ideas in your own country and you will only see beauty in everything (well almost in everything), but no one is perfect, let us say \u201c Glass is more full than empty) and as the old saying goes wear green glasses you will see everything green.Now let us start with changed impressions after the visit one by one:China is very safe country:After the visit/s based on my observations, experience, and confirmation by my host who is born and brought up Suzhou guy, China is literally free of violent crimes, petty thefts and other low level crimes may be there but I was not too concerned. I saw young girls working in the night shifts by themselves, and walking freely in the middle of night to their home/or night shifts, travelling in the public transports.Women are power houses working shoulder to shoulder with men:I have seen women involved in every walk of life, they are handling the baby in the crib and watching the small shop/stall at the same time with flare, grace and politeness. Bargaining like a very wise small business person, at the airport they are sitting at customs, immigration and other official duties, handling the business without getting flustered with total politeness and respect. To me it looked like most likely Chinese respect their women from heart, I did not see any sign of disrespect or looks. I saw hundreds of school girls dressed in school dresses with load of books on their back more heavy than their tiny body\u2019s could carry, showed me that Chinese are very supportive of their daughters for going to school. In my view China has become so powerful because the women are sharing heavy burden of house hold and outside jobs.Very healthy, smartly dressed teenage school girls, enjoying equal opportunities to get education.Tiny adorable kids have equal opportunities to enjoy field trips and educationWomen working shoulder to shoulder with men in every walks of life,Women are power houses in China, they are working shoulder to shoulder with men.Women are power houses they seem to be very hard working and productive in the progress of China.Once you visit China you realize it is not homogeneous country:No all Chinese are not same, there are 56 recognized minorities with their own culture and main majority is called Huns, they make 90 percent but there there are further classifications.Bravo, still they all live in relative harmony ( at least I have not heard, any mass scale and riots), Sure there may be some issues with some ethnic groups, and I under no circumstances will make a comment, because I do not have any real knowledge of the issues, or qualification to say.I visited famous Muslim Quarters in Xian and found hustle bustle and tremendous amount of life.Author and his wife Sue visited world famous Muslim Quarters in Xian they found the market very nice, tourists and locals were shopping and eating and walking through the streets. These muslims are settled in the area for about 1000 years,Bravo Chinese and China. These Muslim Chinese are called Hue people of China.Muslim Quarters or Street as it is called, in fact there may 100s or 1000s of restaurants and snack shopsWorld famous Muslim Quarters.It is not Beijing and it not Shanghai, the biggest city in China, it is Breath taking city Chongqing, I found out on this trip, it has over 30 million people.Breath taking Chongqing, sky line, Yangtze River flow with all its might.Author with his wife enjoying a moment of Chongqing beauty.Chinese natural beauty can knock as they say anyone\u2019s socks off ( at least they did mine) some of the natural beauty will stay with me for ever: Part 1, as we go I will post more spell bound places.Here are some natural beauty of this country:Following three pictures are taken by the author on the Coast line of Yangtze river between Chongqing and Shanghai.Who Says Chinese do not smile, that is a myth, when you go there you will find they are real people ( well almost all of them) they smile a lot.I know this is very sensitive topic to discuss, but for me it is very important to shed more light on this misconception, Religion in China.I have heard before going to China, that most of the Chinese are atheists, well I was pleasantly surprised, in fact most of the Chinese have found real meaning of the religion and God, because most of them talk about Karma, reincarnation, honesty, hard work, no theft, family values and good deeds. To me they found the ultimate truth they do not have to go any religious place to learn anymore.However what I saw the devotion of some devotees in Buddhist temples it knocked me over, I will not be the same.Here are some pictures of Grand Buddha of Ling Shan, this is 88 meter Buddha statue the largest statue of my lord, and other is bathing of baby Buddha ceremony, I never ever seen anything like this, I and my wife sue visited this temple two times still not enough, I could stay there for ever.Grand Buddha and Baby Buddha of Ling ShanUltra modern state of the art mass transportation at reasonable prices.I never ever realized length breadth of their subway systems in Shanghai subway lines are becoming world model, and who can compete with this monster speed of 431 Km/hr. Here pictures of this train, which covers 30 km in 8 minutes at a reasonable price, these are real pictures taken by my wife Sue and I in Shanghai.China\u2019s pride and joy, Maglev train, which attains maximum speed of 431 km/hour and covers 30 km in 8 minutes down town Shanghai to the airport. Well done China/Chinese, fastest train in the world.Chinese love and affinity for gardens, beautiful landscapes, greenery, water falls, lakes , lush trees and tranquility, are praise worthy, and I learned lot of lessons.The west lake Hangzhou,The country is humming with manufacturing activity and as you see ship loads of finished products, raw material traffic, produce and other goods are moving.A great lesson for me in the hard work, devotion and determination.Ship load of new cars being transported via Yangtze River.Truck and trailers are humming the national highways with raw, finished and produce through ultra modern highways and toll booths.Chinese have total mastery of foods, they know arts, science and business end of the food industry ( in my view Chinese did to food industry what Henry Ford did to Auto industry)Chinese have now the world monopoly of this industry, they have cut down lot of middle men which is a major factor to cut down the cost of prepared food that it does not make sense to cook at home any more. Chinese food has taken over the world by storm, reasons fast/hot/relatively healthy/ meet every pocket from man in the street to the emperor/queen of a country,.When in China you will never go hungry, there is food for every one with a few yuan in his/her pocket, Chinese can feed an emperor/queen and man in the street with a few yuan in his/her pocket. If you are hungry in China is has to an extreme bad luck.Following is a snap shot of some of the places where author and his lovely wife ate, including sitting on the streets of Beijing/Shanghai/Xian and eating it some of the most delicious foods in the world.Chinese street food has mind boggling choices, Chinese food vendors are hustlers ( in a good way) they are determined to make you buy their food.China was the world leader and in my view will stay world leader in Silk production for ever:Chinese history proves it China was the world leader in silk production and that is why ancient Silk Route was developed, after these visits in my mind China will keep this monopoly for ever.Here are some pictures of some steps to Silk production and show room.Some steps to produce world class silk in China, silk worms feeding on mulberry leaves.Silk CocoonsSilk show room in BeijingIn my view most of the Chinese people are very hard working, strong will to live, and I strongly believe, they have found true God through Karma.Here are some pictures of their resilience, will power, most of them very happy, content with cards fate dealt them and they have found true happiness of contentment. This motivated me to work more harder and it recharged my batteries.Rather than bitching, complaining, and finding bad ways to make a living, these are the true \u201c Karam Yogis and Yoginis\u201d which my scripture described in the holy book of The Gita, (Hinduism) FYI, Buddhism is off shoot of Hinduism. Lord Buddha was born Hindu Prince. I saw that spirit where ever I traveled, great work ethics in their blood per sure ( for most of them, exceptions are and will be there)I observed that most of the Chinese people are very physically active, and in good physical shape.One of the most impressive things was their dances, in the parks, and I believe it is a good exercise, socializing and getting out your stress.These are my general observation, Chinese people are very proud, some may have physical handicap but their self pride is in tact,Following two pictures are great source of inspiration to me, I class them entertainers and not beggars, they my personal inspiration. Bravo hats off to your dignity , pride and this will linger in my mind for ever.Chinese people are too proud to beg, they may have physical handicap but they spirit and dignity is in tact. I do not class him beggar, I class him, an entertainer, and my inspiration.Chinese people are too proud to beg, they may have physical handicap but they spirit and dignity is in tact. I do not class him beggar, I class him, an entertainer, and my inspiration.Chinese seniors are respected and taken good care off, most of them will die in the arms of a grand son/daughter or loving son/daughter/daughter in law.Stay tuned more to come until then : Ding ding ho,\nThe more I learn about China, the more I realize I don\u2019t know and never will know. That being said, I still have a clearer insight on life in China than I did when I first got here three year ago.Chinese LanguageEverywhere you travel, the dialect is different. While the nation shares a common written language, there is a huge disconnect with spoken language among all Chinese. Every province, and in some circumstances even every city, has its own spoken dialect. The only way for some Chinese to communicate is through written communication since they often don\u2019t understand each others\u2018 Chinese. That\u2019s why there\u2019s a need for Mandarin (\u666e\u901a\u8bdd)\u2014a standard language that unifies all of China.As a foreigner in China, Chinese people don\u2019t expect you to be able to speak Chinese. Of course, if you do speak Chinese, even just a bit, they\u2019ll be elated to hear that you\u2019re making an effort to learn about and integrate into Chinese culture. Study for a little while and you\u2019ll blow the minds of locals, especially in smaller and rural areas. It\u2019s quite fun to have a conversation with an older Chinese man or woman because they seem so stoked to be speaking with a \u8001\u5916.DrivingAt first when I arrived in China the driving looked like absolute chaos. It still does, but I\u2019m not surprised by anything anymore. Driving on the wrong side of the road in front of police officers, making U-turns right when oncoming traffic is heading your way, changing lanes without looking or signaling. It\u2019s all the norm, so other drivers know to look out for it.People use their horns liberally, and nobody gets easily offended by anything. In the States, people take driving way too personally. Chinese drive slowly, but they cut everybody off and honk at each other and nobody thinks twice about it. If someone cuts you off, it\u2019s not their fault; it\u2019s your fault. You allowed enough space in front of you for them to pass. That\u2019s the driving mentality. Everyone plays by the same messy rules, so it works out.FoodDon\u2019t be afraid to try street food. I\u2019ve eaten tons of Chinese street food and I haven\u2019t fallen ill. The only time I got sick was when I accidentally drank tap water, resulting in a two day fit of explosive diarrhea.Seriously though, eating the food of this country is one of the best parts of the immersion here. If you miss out on that, you\u2019re missing out on an integral part of what it means to visit or live in China. There is so much variety in the food that I miss it so badly when I leave this country.Jaded ForeignersSad to say, but many foreigners who visit China don\u2019t really like Chinese food, complain about air pollution, blab about ways that the west is way better at this and that, etc. The expat community here is a bit jaded, especially the ones who\u2019ve been here for a few years or more. My advice: don\u2019t listen to foreigners who moan about China; they\u2019re just dealing with some internal personal issues in the wrong way, by taking it out on the Middle Kingdom.ConclusionThese are just my opinions. I\u2019m not an expert. I\u2019m just a guy who lives here. Thanks for reading.\nOh boy ! This question is special.Even before visiting china, I knew China wasn\'t just a suppressive communist regime with child labours in giant factories. But the media wouldn\'t portray it otherwise.It took a lot many trips to the embassy to get me a travel visa but every single trip was worth it.And here\'s a little secret the Chinese wouldn\'t let you in on.\u201cIt\'s the most beautiful country in the world\u201dIt surprises me is how little they promote tourism internationally. All one pictures of when thinking of China is the Great Wall or the Terracotta Army. But guess what, I didn\'t visit either. All the places I\u2019d been to were full of domestic tourists and I stuck out like the odd one almost everywhere. (I\'m not complaining though, but more in that later) I only got a month\u2019s single visit visa. And I spent all of it in the southern part of China. So let me give you a brief account of my amazing experience in this mystical country.PEOPLE:Just mentioning that people are kind would be such a gross understatement. People are very warm and always greet you with a smile (Not just the formal touristic greet but the genuine humble smile)I was always short for change while traveling and there wasn\'t once an occasion when some passerby didn\'t pause to help me. And the help wasn\'t just instructional or with giving me a change. A lot many of them just put their money, got me a ticket, handed it to me and left with a smile.I didn\'t have the change to get into a bus in Guangzhou once and was putting in 10 yuan instead but the bus driver stopped me and put in his own money instead, asked me to just settle down.When I was Changsha, I didn\'t know the metro route and was struggling to figure out with the route map. A woman hurriedly came to me and asked her young son to help me out. He was a school student, probably still learning English. With the little that he could, he stood there, looking into my Apple Maps travel route suggestion and keyed in those details into his phone and started searching. It took him a good 10 minutes to help me sort out the route but he made sure (despite the language barrier) that I got the travel route right. When they proceeded to leave, the mother gripped her son\u2019s shoulder as a sign of appreciation for his help. I could see the humility in her eyes and I couldn\'t have been more humbled by her gesture.I went to a makeshift food outlet in Shenzhen run by a family (the family probably lived in the establishment) simply coz they endorsed \u201cHalal\u201d on their board. It was a Friday afternoon and I could bravely order a beef stew. The order ran up to 30 yuan. While I waited for my order, the chef pointed her children to say \u2018Assalamualikum\u2019 (Muslim greeting) to me. I found this amusing as the kids looked at me with a gaze and surprise and anguish. I extended my hand to greet them and they reluctantly did. Although there were no grounds of communication, I improvised on Google translate and had a good conversation with them. They were Hui Muslim family running a makeshift restaurant. The women ran the kitchen while the men waited and kept the books.After our talk, I wanted to tip big and pulled out my wallet to pay. But they flatly refused. They said, it being a Friday, they wanted to do me good as I\'m far away from home. Their gesture moved me.I pulled out my wallet and hurriedly handed the kid a 20 Kuwaiti dinar bill. I told them it would be a memorabilia from a visitor and I\'d always remember them in my prayers. Looking at the small designation bill, they didn\'t protest much. (Little did they know!)There are several other P2P stories about how awesome Chinese are to their guests but I guess you get the picture.NOTE: The Chinese police deserve a special mention as they\'re the warmest towards a foreigner while being dead strict against their own citizens. (Had a first hand experience when I jaywalked on a busy road)So, if you\'re planning on visiting China, expect the warmest of people there and keep your heart open.Here are a few pictures for a good measure.We became good friends (coz he spoke English) and I kinda would\'ve been lost in Zhangjiajie without him. He explained a lot of historical and cultural facts from here which otherwise would\'ve lost on me. The tourist guides make shit up (his words not mine!) and he gave me a detailed account of the area\u2019s geography.This woman was delighted to see a \u2018black guy\u2019 amidst the mix and just wanted to click a picture for memories. I can\'t even remember the number of times people walked up to me asking to click pictures (felt like a celebrity !!!)Well, that was about some of the people. Now let\'s get down to the one thing that caught me by surprise.FOODBeing a Muslim, I had very few culinary options, although there\'s no complaining about the wide variety of food this country has to offer. Then, being an Indian I\'m too spoilt for food options but over here, they were a step ahead of us.Special mention for the Hunanese (Boy ! Don\'t they cook amazing food) cuisine.I couldn\'t have asked for better food than what I got in China. Even though I had to stick to fish and prawns, I\'d indulge in other food as soon as I could find a restaurant serving Halal food.Hunanese Fish.Dried fishes. (It was quite spicy)Cold Mutton pieces with peanuts? (I\u2019m sorry I forgot the name of the dish)Sichuanese Mutton Pot (with sprouts and a ton of other spices. I guess they had some bamboo in there as well)Spicy Crab (There\'s no civilised way of eating this. My hands were dirty as I crushed the crustacean in my mouth and my nose ran like flowing river coz of the spices. With my mouth and nose dribbling with juices, I gobbled every last bit of it)Mouth watering anyone ?Alright, here, how about I give you some street food !!!Quail eggs !!!Oysters !!!Crab!I wish I could taste the deer kebabs and I had a strong craving for Yak burgers but my religious duties held me back.NOTE: Chinese fruits deserve a special mention here. Fruits in China are the cheapest in the world. I mean, 2 yuan for a kilo of apple cheap. If you\'re into fruits, your daily food expenses would drop drastically.So, that was about the food. Let me fill you in on another important factor. And I guess this is probably one aspect the Chinese are leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of the world.INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENGINEERINGSo, you know most of the stuff that you buy comes from China. Well, \u2018cheap\u2019 isn\'t the only reason that companies flock there. There\'s incredible innovation in Chinese society even for the most basic of tasks.Specially their Civil Engineering accomplishments. They\'ve built some of the most amazing dams, star gazing structures, bridges, aquariums, Opera House, Temples, Tall buildings, water canals - You name it.And then you have the Infrastructure. The infrastructure is second to none in the world. I was amazed at the number of bullet trains they run, their precision, punctuality and over all service.The overnight trains too are almost always on time. Are clean, well ventilated and are damn cheap. (Europe could take some lessons here)Edit: This is going to be a lengthy answer I started writing on a whim. Need more time to frame it well. (Thanks for the appreciation in the meantime)\nI have been in Beijing for more than 15 years and not once have I felt threatened in any way. Beijing have always been a safe place from my perspective. One thing that I have come to understand is that if you are a foreigner/expat in China, most locals are nice and helpful both in big cities and small towns as well. Generally, rural China is considered safe by many Chinese. Big cities, especially Beijing and Shanghai- have their headaches - pick-pocketing mostly, but generally safe. Guandong province is notoriously known for its not-so-safe problems (Police pledge to fight gangs in Guangzhou\'s townships and villages). The hotbed of identity theft, bank card hacking and copying is probably in Dongguan city also in Guangzhou.I once got my passport stolen in Shenzhen (in 2001) when dropping off the airport bus. In those days, the stops for airport buses were not regulated at all. The moment you drop-off, you get this crowd of teenagers swarming towards you with business cards and at the same time feeling your pockets for any thing they can steal. They won\'t harm you. Luckily for me, they only wanted cash to hand back my passport. I gave them 300 yuan! Today, the airport bus stops are pretty much safer than they were before in Shenzhen.It is refreshing to note that most of these incidences hardly involve foreigners and hence we feel very safe. Guns are very hard to obtain in China so the weapons of choice are knives, swords or cleavers. The government is cracking on these items as well. One thing I gather from my experience here in China is that Chinese are extremely safety oriented. Almost all doors in virtually all apartments are security doors (they call them "burglar-resisting doors") - doors a locked consistently. Most, if not all, communities are gated with security personnel around the clock and only one or less than three points of entry and exit. Incidents of some psychos, driving through kindergartens and schools, chopping kids with swords and knives have created walled schools with no more than two points of entry/exit. At public and even private establishments rarely would you find people leaving their stuff around unattended even for a quick washroom trip. Passwords are entered after looking around and with one hand blocking the view of anyone to the number pad. People are reminded of being safe on almost every opportunity: TV stations, radios, banks, communities, markets, hospitals, ATM locales (sometimes with loud annoying speakers), and LED boards are full of warnings advising people to be aware of their belongings, bank cards, locking doors and windows etc. Posters of recent robbery are distributed (locally and very discreet, if my Chinese was not good enough I will probably not notice) to warn people and to prevent recurrences. Cars are locked consistently with double checking. I was surprised when one of my neighbors kept accompanying her son to a school that was\xa0 hardly 300 meters away. When asked, she replied it was for safety reasons (apparently another kid disappeared, mysteriously, in the same area some weeks ago). There are many in China who share her reasons.Having said that, it is still common to hear few incidents of people being robbed, mugged and even murdered. Still it is safe to say that China is generally safe for expats/foreigners.\xa0 Just don\'t work, shop, dine or drive in any Japanese branded company, shop, restaurant/hotel or car when the two countries are having tensions (China protests over Japanese activists\' visit to disputed island )!\nHere is a List of countries by intentional homicide rate.It shows that China has the 27th lowest murder rate in all 218 countries and regions. And if you take a look at the 26 ahead of China, you\'ll find most of them are very small countries and cities like Hong Kong, Singapore. Japan is really safer that China. I\'ve been to Tokyo. It really feels safe to walk on the streets even in the mid night. Murder rate in US is 4.7, while the rate in China is 1.0. I\'ve been to LA and NYC. There are so few people except in Manhattan, so I have to look back and keep aware of all around when walking on the lonely streets. Once I was in the metro in LA at about lunch time, a black young man suddenly kept shouting angrily at me. I didn\'t quite understand what the hell he was talking, but some "fuck... Chinese... fuck"things. So I had to get off the train and take the next one. But I do like San Diego, it\'s miles more beautiful and people there are more friendly.However, as China is really big and has a huge and complicated population\xa0 with 55 minority nationalities, crime rates differs in regions in China. It is commonly believed that:the south is generally safer than the north. among the top10 biggest cities, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are less safer. Shanghai may be the safest.\xa0 Yangtze River Delta is the richest, humble and well-tempered region in China. You can only see two guys in Shanghai or Hangzhou quarreling, but they rarely fight. However, people\xa0 from the northeast are more likely to solve problems with fists.Sinkiang is the only dangerous province, especially in southern Sinkiang.Some places in the poor and less educated rural areas are not safe. They\'ll not kill you, but they may steal, rob or extort. For example, some guys may suddenly jump out in front of your car, lay down and than several other gangsters will surrender you extort some $2000 for medical treatment. Of course, the price is negotiable. But if you have less than $100, they may get really angry and give you a good beating. So it\'ll be wise to always have some $200 cash in your pocket.If you are an expat, you\'ll surely be safer.\xa0 The gangsters know\xa0 foreigners have little cash, because you guys always use credit cards. And if they hurt a foreigner, they\'ll be punished more seriously by the law. So\xa0 foreign guys are really not cost-effective to commit a crime on.For girls. I must say that you really have bigger boob power than most Chinese girls. So be a little low-key, if you are alone out there in byways at night or on a crowded metro train. Rapes are very few in cities, but you may be indecently assaulted or sexually harassed.\nI\u2019ve written before about why China is safe for travelers and why anyone concerned about visiting should let those inhibitions go. In terms of violent crime, you have little to worry about in China. In terms of theft, just be smart. I\u2019ve never been pick-pocketed myself, but it does happen. If you have a backpack, wear it in the front of your body when you\u2019re on public transportation.Be minimal. I suggest a money clip and using plastic as much as possible. You won\u2019t have any noticeable wallet bulge in your pants if you do things this way. And hold tight to your phone. To avoid scams, don\u2019t talk to strangers who approach you first speaking broken English, especially in shopping districts or spaces that attract a lot of tourists. If someone comes up to you, especially if you\u2019re a man, just keep moving and don\u2019t make eye contact. It might seem rude, but it\u2019s fine and they\u2019ll go away eventually. This is all minor stuff, so don\u2019t be frightened.I teach travel Chinese to people planning to visit China, and there are three other safety concerns I do remind them of before they visit.The first is traffic safety. Though traffic law enforcement is improving in big cities, it\u2019s important that you understand that in China, pedestrians are not treated with the same respect as they might be in your home country. Here are some tips:Under no circumstances should you assume a car is going to stop for you if you are walking in the street, even if the light is green for pedestrians.Remember to look both ways before crossing a road, and to continue looking as you cross. Look out for people making left turns too.The same is true when you\u2019re dealing with cyclists or people on scooters\u2014they probably aren\u2019t going to stop if they\u2019re already in motion, and they frequently ignore traffic lights altogether. You\u2019ll see people riding their bikes and scooters on sidewalks too, so keep your eyes open even when you\u2019re not in the street.Don\u2019t walk around looking at your cell phone.The second is food safety. China also has a less-than-stellar record when it comes to food safety. Tips:Though it may be tempting, I discourage you from eating street food, as there is a chance the food is being prepared with unsafe ingredients, the most common of which is recycled oil.When eating in China, stick to restaurants that are well trafficked or well reviewed. That doesn\u2019t mean you should stick to Western restaurants, it just means going to places that have a lot of visitors.That said, don\u2019t let worries prevent you from enjoying Chinese food, as it\u2019s one of the best parts of the country (here are my favorite Chinese cuisines)! Be wise and be judicious.Take risks in trying new foods, but understand that if you eat something unclean, you might get sick. In most cases, take the risk because it\u2019s worth it and you\u2019ll be fine.Bring medication in case you do fall ill.Never drink water from the tap unless it\u2019s been boiled. Restaurants will not serve you water that\u2019s not been purified through boiling or other means, so don\u2019t worry about drinking water in restaurants!And there is no such thing as fake bottled water. If it\u2019s in a bottle and the top is sealed, you\u2019re good to go.If you\u2019re visiting for a short time, I suggest following my advice on food strictly to avoid getting sick and wasting time. If you\u2019re staying longer, you can and should relax things and try to live more like a local.Finally, there\u2019s air pollution. Air pollution is simply a part of life in China. There is no way to avoid it. This is something many foreigners worry about before visiting, but my suggestion is that unless you have a condition, try not to think about it. From what I\u2019ve seen, most foreigners do not have any problems when they come, but some do cough for a little while. Understand that since you\u2019re probably only visiting, you won\u2019t be doing any lasting damage to your body by breathing normally while you\u2019re here. I think wearing a mask is overkill unless you\u2019re exercising, but it\u2019s a personal decision.Generally, you should not have any worries traveling in China. Have a safe trip!\nChina is incredibly safe! I am a Mandarin Chinese teacher of 8 years and sometimes I feel that half my job is helping foreigners settle in China. Crime is one of the things they worry about. Within a week, their worries are out the window. But, why?HOW IS THERE SO LITTLE STREET CRIME?Don\u2019t get me wrong, there is crime in China, but you\u2019re very unlikely to be a victim. \u201cStreet crime\u201d such as robbery, assault, rape and murder are astonishingly low. In large Chinese cities, I have no fear listening to my iPod and walking home through unknown neighborhoods for two hours in the middle of the night.Travelers and expats appreciate this quality over here, yet can\u2019t seem to explain exactly why it is. Rich and poor are living together. Surely, there are plenty of \u201copportunities\u201d for crime walking down the streets. So why is China so safe?Here are a few factors that likely influence the low street crime of China:THE SHAME FACTORIn the USA, South America and elsewhere, crime is often glamorized and romanticized. Many celebrities have even been caught exaggerating the length of jail time that they have actually served. Inversely from Asian culture, this criminality builds credibility and respect in the western world, and convicts may even be seen as attractive to the opposite sex.China is different.Not only are street crimes such as thievery and assault illegal, they are also shameful in Asia. The same kind of shame that comes from an abhorrent crime in the USA may be brought on by a \u201cpetty\u201d crime such as pickpocketing (in China). The shame is not only felt by the criminal, but also by his/her family, and often by the whole village. While an American may be caught recording or boasting about their assaults on the street, no one in China would think of doing this. With little glory and romance in crime, young Asians tend to aspire towards a more \u201crespectable\u201d financially lucrative career for prestige.IT\u2019S CROWDED AND URBANChina is crowded! In the USA, people often assume \u201cmore people + less space = more confrontation\u201d. Since geographical crime statistics are often difficult to discern, this attitude is debatable.Urban activist Jane Jacobs coined the phrase \u201ceyes on the street\u201d to describe why crowded and active urban streets are likely to be safer, as crime is less likely to happen with potential witnesses and everyday heroes that could step in and help.Since Asian and Chinese cities are filled with convenience stores, shopfronts and street food vendors, there are an abundance of eyes on the street to keep one safe on the sidewalk.GENETICSThis would surely be a controversial hypothesis. Many scientists now believe that around 50% of our behavior is based on the DNA we\u2019re born with, while 50% is based on our environment. Therefore, our genes are built on experience from our evolutionary past. This is called the \u201c50-0-50\u201d rule (\u20180\u2019 actually representing parental influence).Since China was among the earliest civilizations, and still prospering today, the genetics have been passed down from generation to generation to be harmonious.RESPECT FOR AUTHORITYWith respect and adherence to authority, Chinese citizens are less likely to be a nuisance.Authority can be a government, an employer, or a family. With so many eyes on you, all with high expectations, you\u2019re more likely to grow up to be self-conscious and cooperative.LACK OF SINGLE PARENT FAMILIESTwo-thirds of young criminals in the USA come from single-parent, usually fatherless, families.In China, marriage is often based on a rational compatibility, not love or spontaneity. Couples won\u2019t marry because it sounds like an exciting idea, but rather because it makes the most sense for their future and for their respective families. Once children are born, family members generally assume a role and adhere to it. If there is stress in the family, the parents are more likely to unhappily stick it out to survive, putting others ahead of them.CONFUCIANISM\u201cIf you govern by regulations and keep them in order by punishment, the people will avoid trouble but have no sense of shame. If you govern them by moral influence, and keep them in order by a code of manners, they will have a sense of shame and will come to you of their own accord.\u201dConfucius advocated that punishment should take the form of social ostracism, rather than forced suffering. These beliefs still persist today. Confucianism is not a religion, but rather an ethical and philosophical system, which has endless applications within a society. Confucius, the bearded Yoda of ancient China, advocated relationships based on mutual respect and piety, but also strict hierarchy and adherence to law.Even in today\u2019s ever-changing Asia, Confucius still has a great influence. Increasingly, \u201cConfucian Classrooms\u201d are operating in Chinese prisons, rehabilitating inmates by understanding societal harmony and Chinese history. Today, many Chinese are living their daily lives with little knowledge of laws and little contact with the police. However, they are disciplined within their communities by the invisible laws of Confucianism.COOPERATION WITH POLICEIn the US, due to a distrust or resentment of the police, crimes often are carried out with no arrests, as it is difficult to persuade citizens to cooperate and speak to the police. In China, there is a lot of cooperation between police and citizens. This helps lead to convictions.Believe me, follow the rules and you will have a safe and pleasant trip in China!\nThis Is probably the country where I feel the safest (with Singapore).i have been living in China for a while now and never had any problem apart pickpocket one time.The only time It had been hot was with one of our supplier who didn\'t want to rework some goods he failed quality control. Otherwise I never have experienced any problem.A good thing in China is safety, get out in the middle of the night the risk to get trouble is extremely low. I have been living in Paris and in the usa and it was much more dangerous there. In Paris you can not get out your smarrphone in the metro \u2026unsafe.China may be criticized for many things regarding human right etc\u2026.but I have to admit that their strictness about crime bring for people who are behaving properly a certain piece of mind. They don\'t joke with crime. They can jail you for several months if you steal and no need a big amount of money to be sentenced 6 months (And this is not hotel style from what I heard)So generally speaking people are not playing too much when it is related to physical safety. I don\'t know if the fact I am foreigner there has an influence or not (I suppose yes a bit as I heard also some stories of Chinese people getting threaten by other Chinese at ATM or by apartment robery)What is a bit unsafe in China however are cars and bus: they never let you cross street as pedestrian and it can become very dangerous if you try to play against it.\nAbsolutely.1.Beautiful WritingWhen you fall in love with Chinese handwriting, these characters are endowed with magic power.Many people have practiced Chinese hard-tipped calligraphy since they were young.Like English, there are many different types:2.Deep meaning but with few wordsChinese is renowned for not expressing their ideas in a direct way, actually because it is related to their mother tongue.E.g:\u5982\u68a6\u4ee4\u6628\u591c\u96e8\u758f\u98ce\u9aa4\uff0c\u6d53\u7761\u4e0d\u6d88\u6b8b\u9152\u3002\u8bd5\u95ee\u5377\u5e18\u4eba\uff0c\u5374\u9053\u201c\u6d77\u68e0\u4f9d\u65e7\u201d\u3002\u77e5\u5426\uff0c\u77e5\u5426?\u3000\u5e94\u662f\u7eff\u80a5\u7ea2\u7626\u3002Last night the strong wind blew with a rain fine;Sound sleep did not dispel the aftertaste of wine.I ask the maid rolling up the screen.The same crab apple\uff0c\u201dsays she\uff0c\u201ccan be seen.\u201d\u201cBut don\u2019t you know\uff0cOh\uff0cdon\u2019t you knowThe red should languish and the green should grow?\u201dP.s.\uff1aIt kind of damage the artistic conception when it is translated into other languages.3.Interesting pronunciationWhen language learners start to learn Chinese, homophone will become a big problem. Furthermore, like Japanese, when same character combine with others, it will change the tone.\nChinese is the crystallization of the splendid culture developed continuously for over 5,000 years. As China grows stronger, more and more foreigners would like to learn Chinese and Chinese culture. Actually as a Chinese, I cannot say Chinese is the most beautiful language in the world which may look so arrogant, but there is no doubt that it can must be one of the most beautiful languages.Chinese possesses many advantages over other languages. Written Chinese is based on a set of ideogram characters. From a simple word one may obtain a wealth of information about its hidden meaning, evolution history and related phrases. Historians can decipher the damaged ancient characters carved on ox hones but no such achievement could be obtained with Latin-based languages. To express a given idea, the Chinese version is always the shortest, most accurate and most effective. Moreover, Chinese kids learn Chinese by memorizing patterns or funny pictures which stimulate curiosity and imagination. What\uff07s more, in some ways, Chinese is also easy to learn. Many foreigners speak Chinese fluently after a few years of learning.And I would like to take a TV drama that is popular these days as an example to show how broad and profound Chinese is. If you have learned Chinese, you can feel the difference in artistic conception after translated into English and some sentences will be lengthy.This drama, which is adapted from a same name novel called <\u4e09\u751f\u4e09\u4e16\u5341\u91cc\u6843\u82b1> and in English it is called \u2018Life after Life,Blooms over Blooms\u2019. And if you translate it word by word, it is called \u2018Three Lifetimes and Ten-Mile Peach Blossoms\u2019.\u6211\u81ea\u662f\u767e\u822c\u63a8\u8131\uff0c\u4ed6\u81ea\u662f\u5343\u822c\u76db\u60c5\u3002I of course, did my best to excuse myself, while he, naturally, pressed on with all graciousness and courtesy.\u7d2f\u4e16\u60c5\u7f18\u8c01\u6361\u8d77\uff0c\u8c01\u629b\u4e0b\uff0c\u8c01\u5fd8\u524d\u5c18\uff0c\u8c01\u603b\u7275\u6302\u3002\u5fc6\u5f53\u65f6\u5e74\u534e\uff0c\u8c01\u70b9\u76f8\u601d\uff0c\u8c01\u79cd\u6843\u82b1\u3002This fated love of forever and a day\u2014\u2014Who has picked it up?

\u3001\u660e\u8273\u4e0d\u53ef\u65b9\u7269\nI don\'t know if they are all beautiful.\xa0 LOL I lived in the Netherlands when I was a child and while I find the sound of Dutch to be soothing like the smell of Grandma\'s cookies, its extremely gutteral and even the Dutch joke about how it is definitely not beautiful. I feel Cantonese is also not so gentle on the ears and it has a certain glottal thing that sounds like someone is getting ready to retch.French gets a lot of play when people talk about romantic or sexy languages but I find it nasally and not so attractive to hear.\xa0 Its association with Romance is likely just do to the Roman influence and the Romantic reputation of the city of Paris itself.The soft consonant sounds of Mandarin however can be very beautiful when spoken smoothly and in a low voice.\xa0 My wife\'s spoken Mandarin varies from her "phone voice" or the way she reads aloud which just makes me crazy, to the harpy shrill, chalkboard shredding sounds of her disciplining our son when he gets out of hand.\xa0 But I imagine who the speaker and their mood and tone has a pretty strong effect on the beauty or flinch factor of many languages.Still Im pretty sure you can rank them and Mandarin definitely falls higher on the chart of linguistic aesthetics than Dutch, Cantonese or most Arabic dialects....at least to my ears.\nMandarin is most suitable for modern Chinese.While Cantonese is more suitable for traditional peoms.Wu language is commonly recognised as the most beautiful language, sounding like opera.The harshest should be one of some unknown Hunan dialects, using it, even a romantic private conversation between lovers could sound like a intensive altercation.\nIs there persecution of Muslims in China? No.Is there a crack down in XinJiang Autonomous Region against separatists and terrorists creating violent unrest and murdering citizens. Yes.The crack down is not persecution of Muslims by China.Several \u201ctraditional Islamic separatist movements that have existed in China for some time,\u201d such as the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM), a Uighur separatist organization that China and the United States have labeled a terrorist organization. Beijing often blames Xinjiang unrest on the ETIM, while maintaining that Uighurs enjoy \u201cunprecedented religious freedom\u201d in China.XinJiang Autonomous Region is north of Tibet and touches Afghanistan and Russia with larger borders with India, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and the country of Mongolia.The Soviet Union with Russia and the Soviet- stans fueled the unrest in XinJiang and fought a border war with China there in the \u201860\u2019s.Now it is Radical Islam and ISIS and \u2026 whoever.XinJiang now has hundreds of fighters with ISIS in Iraq and Syria who have been heard to say, \u201cWhen we come home, the streets will run red with Han blood.\u201dThe Han\u2019s are the majority in China, and in my \u2018lao laowai Intenational Consultant working on the high risk business side with the high risk security side guys\u2019 opinion, China absolutely does protect ethnic minorities. Yes \u2026 protects minorities.One China.China does not persecute Muslims.A crack down is happening.It\u2019s kind of like Calexit for the People\u2019s Republic of California and Don\u2019t Mess with The Republic of Texas which \u2018has the only right to secede\u2019.Muslim separatists and ISIS in China and Calexit and Texas? It\u2019s not going to happen in China, and it\u2019s not going to happen in America.\nPersecution?They enjoy much more privileges than general Han people.\u201cDid you hear of Halal tissue? \u201dHalal toilet for Muslims only.A bus dedicated to Muslims(it runs on the road without a license plate).Counters only for Hui people in a supermarket.Wards for Muslims in a hospital.Halal salt for MuslimsHui people enjoy 10 bonus points in civil service examination in Gansu, the same as the families of the policemen who died in line of duty.\u201cPreach Islamic doctrine to 1.3 billion Chinese people\u201dI think some Chinese Muslims are more devoted than many Arabians in Middle East or those so-called Muslims in Europe. At least you seldom hear of things like Halal tissue or Halal salt. Though a number of them don\u2019t read much Quran, they would get pissed when they hear the word \u201cpig\u201d or see other people eating pork to emphasize their Muslim identity. Last year, two professors proposed that it\u2019s necessary to legislate to manage the Halal industry, and the people who counterfeit Halal food would be sentenced to imprisonment for life or even death. Of course many of them enjoy alcoholic drinks somtimes, not sure if they have invented Halal alcohol, but anti-pork seems to be the ultimate goal in their life. Well, in China, there are other religions that have food prohibition. Buddhists are vegeterians; Taoists cannot eat beef, fish, dogs and geese, but non of them asked to set up dedicated canteens in campus or a law to manage things like \u201cBuddhist food\u201d or \u201cTaoist food\u201d.And when you are offended or blackmailed by these Muslims, even the police would persuade you to compromise, because it\u2019s not politically correct to disrupt \u201cnational unity\u201d.Maybe living in a non-Shariah country is a persecution to them. I appeal to Saudi Arabia to accept these mawali and offer them a Shariah life.\nYes, but the Chinese government isn\u2019t persecuting them because they\u2019re Muslims but because of the demands for secession. See, there are ethnic groups in the west of China who are known as Uyghurs and other Turkic peoples. They happen to be Muslims and they have been wanting to separate from China for a while due to cultural differences. China\u2019s government has a strong and widely popular One China Policy which exists and is being propagated to keep China united, especially when many of China\u2019s enemies want the country to be divided *cough* America *cough*. So what is happening is that in order to stop the Uyghurs from forming or organising some sort of rebellion, they are closely monitoring them and restricting certain rights of theirs.I really disagree with this, however that is the reality. Yes, there may be cases where Uyghurs are persecuted for being Muslims, but most of the time it\u2019s because they are seen as a threat to stability in Western China, nothing to do with their faith.\nNo, of course not. On the contrary, there is only persecution of non-Muslims in China.The so-called \u5b97\u6559\u4fe1\u4ef0\u81ea\u7531 (freedom of religious belief) and \u5c11\u6570\u6c11\u65cf\u4f18\u5f85\u653f\u7b56 (preferential policies for minor ethnicities) in China is really \u201ctoo much\u201d that it even persecutes the major ethnicity - Han Chinese people. There are halal salts, Muslim-only toilets, halal foods anywhere in China, and even Muslim-only counters in some shops. Han Chinese people have no such preferential policies, but Muslims have!!!!This is the reason why there is a black humour called \u201cthe People\u2019s Islamic State of China\u201d.\nThere is something you need to know before understanding China\u2019s issues:What the CCP government suppresses is not freedom of speech, or criticizing the government and public figures. Instead, it is radicalism that will be strictly inspected and controlled.It applies to all Chinese citizens. Many Muslims live in the border areas so that they do not know what the Chinese Han also face. They can easily refer to this as Islamic persecution. Also, because some Muslim separatists are under the shelter of some foreign governments outside of China (e.g. Turkey and the US), they do have some chances to speak about the situation, which of course factors into their own benefit.When I compared these to the situation and different stories I have personally encountered elsewhere in the world, I believe that persecution of Muslims in China does not exist in general, but any separatism and fundamentalism in the name of religious freedom will certainly be repressed instantaneously and crudely.(Sometimes there can be tensions in those precautionary measures\u2026.)\nThe question is based on incorrect assumption. British didn\u2019t pull out of Hong Kong because they felt it was morally wrong. If anything they should have been morally obligated to stay as majority of Hong Kong residents wanted status quo.Now, let me explain why it\u2019s unreasonable to expect China to get out of Tibet.Tibet is not a colony. It\u2019s an annexed territory, and Tibetans are Chinese citizens. Furthermore, Han Chinese now outnumber Tibetans in Tibet. Most westerners think China annexed Tibet in 20th century, but Qing had direct administration in Tibet for over 200 years prior. Tibet\u2019s independence movement in late 19th century, which was sponsored by British (to put Tibet under its influence), was never accepted by Chinese government. 200 years is a long time\u2026 when do you think the U.S. will return the land to the native Americans? or California/Texas back to Mexico? Furthermore, if China should be let go of Tibet, Xinjiang should be let go as well. Inner Mongolia should go to Mongolia, and Manchus should be allowed to secede as well.Green and Pink area are territories annexed by China under Manchu rule. If Tibet is a fair game, so are rest of the territories.More than half of China\u2019s territory gone\u2026 Factually speaking Tibet has just as much rights as any other territories in the world that wants to secede from their host nation, no more, no less. Yet, somehow western world is incapable of using the same yardstick on China. This is what\u2019s bothering the fuck out of Chinese people.How many former states in the following list should be given their land back?List of former sovereign statesAnnexation and secession of countries are dirty businesses, but it happens and has caused tremendous good as well as bad in history, it\u2019s not a simple matter of right or wrong. Furthermore, about 29% of Tibetans support independence from China based on survey conducted by Tibetan exile government, that doesn\u2019t sound like a majority to me. In fact, it\u2019s less than the percentage of Scottish people who wanted to secede from United Kingdom in the last independence vote in 2014 where 44% of Scotish wanted independence. Yet, I don\u2019t see Alex Salmond winning a Nobel peace prize\u2026 (For those of you who don\u2019t know him, Alex is the former Scottish First Minister and one of the biggest proponent for Scottish independence.)Scottish independence referendum, 2014Tibetan exiles discuss China policy | The NationalNow, how silly would it be if Chinese government and its media propped up Lakota native American tribe that currently has an active separatist movement, and proclaim that America should give its states, North and South Dakota and Montana, to the Lakota people? Western countries\u2019 support of Tibetan independence movement is largely viewed in the same light in China.\nFrom 600 years ago, when Yuan Dynasty first appointed Dalai Lamas as the spiritual leaders in Tibet to PRC\u2019s peaceful liberation in 1951. Tibet was NEVER an independent country. As long as the name \u201cTibet\u201d existed, it has always been part of China. No countries in the world recognizes Tibet as a country.Not forced into incorporation (Panchan Lama, Mao Zedong, Dalai Lama, 1951)The signing of Seventeen Point Agreement for the Peaceful Liberation of TibetBefore 1951, Tibet lamas were theocratic rulers of the Tibet Autonomous Region. In millions of Tibetan, 200k of the population were monks. Other were slaves and serfs. When the bayonets of the State\'s Liberation Army in Tibet, the last of all on Earth, slavery was abolished.After the liberation of Tibet.....Tibetan population in Lhasa Administered Tibet has increased from 1.2 million in 1951 to almost 3 million in 2007.Infant mortality has dropped from 43% in 1950 to 0.66% in 2000Life expectancy has risen from 35.5 years in 1950 to 67 years in 2000Death rate of women in childbirth: 5,000/100,000 in 1951, 175/100,000 in 2010Tibet has 22,500 km of highways, all built since 1950The GDP of Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) today is 30 times that before 1950PRC has spent more than 8 billion yuan subsidizing farmers children in Tibet to attend boarding schoolsIlliteracy rate was 90% in 1951, today 98.8% children enrolled in public schoolsPRC offered 15 years of free education, most classes taught in the Tibetan language, only mathematics, physics, and chemistry are taught in Chinese.The list goes on.........Beijing is clearly a better choice for Tibet!\nBritain forced Qing empire to cede a piece of its terriory after 1st Opium War, the Hong Kong island.Then in another treaty, Qing ceded Kowloon peninsula.Then in another treaty, Qing leased \u201cNew-Territories\u201d to Britain for 99 years.So China have righteous claim over Hong Kong, when it decided to tear up these unjust treaties.Xizang was once a powerful kingdom untill 10th century named Tubo, intermarry and fight with midlander\u2019s Tang dynasty generation by generation. But it collapsed several decades before the fall of Tang, then never again re-build after shattered itself into pieces.Xizang have never been any form of independent country since then. Not even close, after Qing seized fully control over it in late 17th century. The emperor assign its theocratic leader from candidates the local offers, the empirial government have garrison and governor in Lhasa.Qing had never ever cede Xizang to any other country. Xizang have never declared independence even after the fall of Qing or in the chaotic ROC era. \u201cCan\u2019t regain effective governing\u201d does not mean lost sovereignty, just think Aleppo under IS control still belongs to Syria.So, Xizang is part of China.The British could keep Hong Kong in their hand after 1949, only thanks to Mao spared them. CCP decided PLA should to stop at the shore of Shenzhen River, the border of New-Territories, intending to save a small window to get access to western world.Current British government performed quite pragmatic, as they already learnt enough how tough and bad-ass CCP would be when facing foreign occupation after HMS Amethyst Incident on April 1949. London recognized PRC as the sole legal regime of China in 1950 in return of the favor.That 99-year rent treaty was only used as an excuse to support this trade, have no constraint force, just indicating the tacit would end by that time.When it comes to July 1982, Thacher paid a visit to Beijing seeking to grasp the Pearl of East for longer. She once had quite high confidence because of recent victory in Malvinas, but very soon she got stomped over by Deng Xiaoping\u2019s might.\u201cIf we can\u2019t take back Hong Kong after half a century the People\u2019s Republic have been found, the government shall be nothing better than late-Qing court, Chinese leaders would be remembered as Li Hongzhang! (who signed the treaty rent New-Territories)\u201d\u201cWe Chinese is a bit poor. But once at war, more than enough of us don\u2019t fear death.\u201d\u201cReach an agreement or not is inessential. Anyway, if not offered other option, China shall start unilateral re-unite progress in 1984 .\u201dSoon Thacher compromised, offered Kowloon and New-Territores to China, only try keep Hong Kong island. Deng answered then he gonna cut every single kind of supply, food, water, electricity, etc. towards Hong Kong. China was willing to suffer the decline of trading, to force UK feed its colony on its own.Britain surrendered to China\u2019s determination and power. The entire Sino-Brit Negotiation about HK had nothing to do about the final result, only the protocol of handling-over.So basiclly, Britain got kicked out of HongKong, after China threw a crystal-clear BOW or DIE ULTIMATUM at Mrs PM\u2019s face. Knowing have 0 chance, Brits conceded, chose to negotiate how gentlely China should be, while carving the stolen Pearl out of Queen\u2019s crown.Try to force China do such a compromise, by any means you can imagine, just let anyone try it.Last time someone do such thing was CIA in 1950s. It trained fled aristocrats and their loyal couriers in the mountains of Colorado, then permeate these agents into Xizang, in attempt to incite an uprise.Given formidable terrain and altitude, the ethnic identity, very small number of PLA garrison, CIA believe that they were assured to prevail.It worked, the largest revolt happened after 1949 outnumbering local PLA 5 to 1. Not very long before the rebellion got literally annihilated, mostly by former serfs and slaves withhold fanatical support to central government.Now Xizang get railway, highway, electricity, obligated education, healthcare, billions of annual subsidies from rich provinces. The living standard of Zang people dwarfing any other country on Himalaya.But, still, you can continue what CIA gave up 50 years ago, will ya?\nTibet acquired Buddhism from China, having previously ignored it. The founder was a Chinese princess married to a Tibetan king - quite a common pattern for missionary religions to spread.Whenever Tibet had a government, it recognised the Emperor of China as overall ruler. See How Tibet Emerged Within the Wider Chinese Power-Political Zone.The Dalai Lamas have an undeserved reputation. The reality was rather squalid, see The Strange History of the Dalai Lamas.\nHong Kong has been one part of China for hundreds of years, until the British robbed it from the weak Qing Dynasty government of China and made HK its colony. It\u2019s right for Americans to be free from the UK, so it\u2019s right for HK to be free from the UK, too.As you see, the old Empire of Great Britain let all its old colonies gain their independence after World War 2. So HK is no exception.And most important, it\u2019s more of a contractual thing than just a noble act. The Qing Dynasty and Britain signed a \u201crenting\u201d(HK) contract of 99 years, and in 1997 it was up, according to the paper China and Britain signed a century ago. So it\u2019s time to return.Another thing you need to know is China is neither like Europe or the USA, we have a long tradition of unification, even more than a thousand years.Europe had many kingdoms for hundreds of years, so it formed a few countries now. The USA was initially 13 indepedent colonies willing to be united. But we formed a single united kingdom for the first time 2200 years ago, and the tradition went on and strenghtened itself. Even though there are short breaks and civil wars in this long long period, most of the time it\u2019s a united nation. So we share the idea of one nation very naturally, and could not bear tearing apart the country.In fact, even though politicians have great powers in China, none of them dare split the country. It\u2019s a severe crime for any political leader, far more serious than really big scandals and corruption.As for Tibet, there was slavery before the CCP entered. I have a few friends who are Tibetans, but they wouldn\u2019t think it\u2019s a good idea to be \u201ca single country\u201d. You should go to Tibet and see what common people really think instead of just listening to a few comments here. They could not represent fellow Tibetans, like IS could not represent all the muslims. Maybe they just want slavery back and be slave owners again.\nMost countries have Han Chinese, so in a sense, most countries are culturally close to China.However, if what you mean is which nation is culturally closer to China, then that\u2019s an easier answer. Nation is identified as \u201ca large aggregate of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory.\u201d So in a sense, nation means groups of people with common cultures.So that will leave Han Chinese, Yamato Japanese, Koreans, and Kinh Vietnamese. Namely, Mainland China/Taiwan/foreign Chinese, Japan/foreign Japanese, North/South Korea/foreign Koreans, Vietnam/foreign Vietnamese. Unsurprisingly, they\u2019re the only ones with Chinese-derived names in English: Chin(ese) \u79e6, Japan(ese) \u65e5\u672c, Korea(n) \u9ad8\u9e97, Vietnam(ese) \u8d8a\u5357. In short, they\u2019re collectively called the Sinosphere, or nations within Chinese cultural sphere of influence.Notice I don\u2019t have Singapore in any of them, simply because Singapore is a highly Westernized country that aims to have blends of multiple cultures, so while Han Chinese is the largest population, that doesn\u2019t mean Singapore is culturally Chinese. In fact, it\u2019s a very big mixture between British, Chinese, Indian, and Malay cultures.Also, I will be talking about traditional cultures, not modern culture, because in modern culture, everyone is culturally similar since globalization connects everyone. Majority of humans in this Earth now wears modern clothing, namely a shirt and pants/skirt. So everyone looks the same and culturally similar as well.LanguageThese 4 nations have a history of Chinese influence in their languages. They all have at least 50\u201360% Chinese-derived loanwords, usually for complex terms. The most common names for individuals in these nations are Chinese loanwords, and only Japanese have a lot of native Japanese names (but mostly still written in Kanji). An example for Chinese loanwords is the word for student (I will be using Cantonese and Mandarin for comparison, since Mandarin evolves very far from Middle Chinese of Tang dynasty, when majority of these loanwords were loaned to other countries).Mandarin: \u5b66\u751f xu\xe9sh\u0113ngCantonese: \u5b78\u751f hok6 saang1Korean: \u5b78\u751f (\ud559\uc0dd) hagsaengVietnamese: \u5b78\u751f ho\u0323c sinhJapanese: \u5b66\u751f (\u304c\u304f\u305b\u3044) gakuseiAnother example is the term \u201cworld.\u201dMandarin: \u4e16\u754c sh\xecji\xe8Cantonese: \u4e16\u754c sai3 gaai3Korean: \u4e16\u754c (\uc138\uacc4) segyeVietnamese: \u4e16\u754c th\u1ebf gi\u1edbiJapanese: \u4e16\u754c (\u305b\u304b\u3044) sekaiAll these 4 nations also used Chinese characters as their official writing systems (Chinese Hanzi, Vietnamese Han Tu, Korean Hanja, Japanese Kanji)China (Hanzi)Japan (Kanji + Kana)Korea (Hanja + Hangeul)Vietnam (Han Tu + Chu Nom)ArchitectureThe Sinosphere\u2019s architectural designs and elements are all derived from Chinese architecture. Japan borrowed from Tang China, Korea borrowed from Tang to Ming China, Vietnamese borrowed from Tang to Qing China. However, the most visible cultures are probably cultural borrowings from the last dynasties, so Japan would be Tang-influence, Korea would be Ming-influence, and Vietnam would be Ming-Qing influence.[China (top left) - Japan (top right) - Korea (bottom left) - Vietnam (bottom right)]Traditional ArchitecturesImperial Palace GatesTemples in snowCovered bridgesTraditional GardensInterlocked wooden brackets (Dougong)FashionChina was like the America of ancient East Asia. Everyone wanted to follow their fashion. Therefore, they all adopted Hanfu (\u6f22\u670d). However, as times passed, although the Chinese influence was still there, they all evolved into something distinct. Japan has Wafuku (\u548c\u670d), Korea has Hanbok (\u97d3\u670d), and Vietnam has Viet Phuc (\u8d8a\u670d). Each dynasty differed, however, but the final attires that are now used to represent each nation is distinct and is very beautiful.Han dynasty Quju vs. Edo period FurisodeMing dynasty Aoqun vs. Joseon dynasty Chima JeogoriROC period Qipao vs. French period Ao Dai (although Ao Dai was derived from Ming Aoqun, it bears resemblance to Qipao due to both nations being Westernized at around the same time, meaning similar sense of fashion) and Ming dynasty Aoqun vs. Nguyen dynasty Ao Nhat BinhJust to give a comparison, here is historical illustrations of each nation\u2019s fashion at the same time periods: (from top to bottom) Ming China, Le Vietnam, Joseon Korea, and Edo Japan (Edo Japan was the only one not influenced by Ming dynasty and retained Tang influence, so it looked quite distinct from the rest).BeliefAll the Sinospheric cultures have a history of the Three Teachings, or Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. Buddhism is present in all 4 cultures and is deeply embedded in ancient and modern times. Taoism has faded, but its influence is present in every nation\u2019s values and native religions, namely Chinese Taoism (duh), Japanese Shintoism, Korean Muism, and Vietnamese Dao Mau. Confucianism, while not a religion, is a cultural practice and teaching that is present in all 4 nations.Confucius depictions in China (top left), Vietnam (top right), Japan (bottom left), and Korea (bottom right)Buddhist depictions in China (top left), Korea (top right), Japan (bottom left), and Vietnam (bottom right)Taoist temple in JapanTaoist temple in VietnamTaoist symbol in South Korean flagThose are the three main ones that I believe defines Sinospheric cultural bonds. However, if you want to see some more minor traditional elements, here they are.Traditional arts were all influenced in some way by Chinese arts.Each nation has their own versions of mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival that was a tradition for centuries.Speaking of mooncakes, each nation also celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival for centuries.Speaking of Mid-Autumn Festival, each nation celebrated Lunar New Year for centuries (although Japan abolished it for a Western calendar, they still celebrate Lunar calendar holidays). Therefore, they all have the Chinese 12 Zodiacs, but with a few twists. Because they followed the calendar, they also had East Asian age reckoning, although that concept is slowly fading away.And because each nation celebrates Lunar New Year or a derivation of it (*coughJapancough*), each nation has their own style of giving out money in Lunar New Year.Each nation\u2019s traditional calligraphy were all derived from Chinese calligraphy.Each nation also had their version of female entertainers that sold entertainment for a living (including selling your own bodies sometimes). They were Chinese Huakui (top left), Vietnamese Dao Nuong (top right), Japanese Geisha (bottom left), and Korean Gisaeng (bottom right).The Sinosphere also had centuries-long tradition of chopstick use, following Chinese customs.They also had centuries-long tradition of tea cultures, all derived from China.Politically, they were all a form of monarchy (although they all had feudalistic governments at one point, especially Japan) that followed the Chinese model. The picture below illustrates the royal and imperial fashions of royal and imperial concubines and wives of Emperors and Kings of the last non-Westernized periods.Also, coincidentally, all 4 nations had a history of civil war between 3 divisions. The picture below illustrates the images of the victors, with 3 divisions\u2019 names in black, and the victors\u2019 names in white. These civil wars were called Three Kingdoms Period of China (top left), Tay Son Rebellion of Vietnam (top right), Three Kingdoms Period of Korea (bottom left), and Sengoku Period of Japan (bottom right).There are more, like traditional styles of sitting (Japanese and Koreans sat on the floor like Chinese during Han to Tang dynasties, Vietnamese sat on raised platforms like Chinese in all dynasties, and while Chinese did all of those, they preferred tables and chairs in the late periods), Tang-style poetry, burning of incense, medicines, food preparation practices, usages of Four Symbols, Four Benevolent Animals, and Four Gentlemen in art, centuries-long lion dances derived from China, music and dance influences from China, Chinese influences in traditional martial arts, how the last eras of all 4 nations were Neo-Confucians, how all 4 cultures had their versions of the Cinderella fairy tale, the 5 Elements, how the Four Beauties and Four Classic Novels of China influences ancient and modern Sinosphere cultures, weapon styles influenced by Chinese styles, wine variants, cuisines (specifically rice and certain noodles), traditional court operas, traditional masks, usages of mandarin squares for government officials in ancient times (for Japan, it was only in Ryukyu).Even in modern times, the Sinosphere continues to influence one another and the world. Anime influences the entire world, and now Chinese and Korean animation are Japanese-influenced. Manhwa, Manhua, and Manhoa are also influenced by Manga. Jdrama also influenced Kdrama and Cdrama, and Kdrama now influences Cdrama. Manga and anime continues to be cultural inspirations for Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese films. Hallyu influences pop music of Vietnam, China, and Japan (who originally influenced Kpop). Chinese influenced Korea and Vietnam through Cantonese films from Hongkong. Sadly, though, Vietnam hasn\u2019t influenced anything yet \xaf\\_(\u30c4)_/\xaf.If anyone wants to see reconstructed traditional clothing of Vietnam, please visit my blog. Vietnam is the least-known culture within the Sinosphere, after all, so everyone automatically associates it with the rest of Southeast Asia and Indosphere, when it\'s not culturally related to any of them.\nJapan is like Tang Dynasty China.South Korea is like Ming Dynasty China.North Korea is like Mao Dynasty China.Vietnam taken on much of Chinese culture since Han Dynasty.Taiwan is what an enlightened pan-Asian union may look like.Hong Kong is heavily influenced by southern Chinese culture with a hint of Brit.Singapore is like Hong Kong, with Peranakan aka Malay aka SEAsian influence.Macao or Macau is like Hong Kong, but Portuguese rather than British.The USSR was the model of the ROC and PRC for its nationalities policies.Italians are really similar to Chinese. That was the first impression I got in Italy.\nI\'d say Vietnam. Vietnam is more \u201cChinese\u201d than any other countries in the world, including Singapore and Taiwan ( if you consider it as a country). Korea once was very similar to China, but then Japan colonized it, which made them a little bit \u201cJapanese\u201d. And then China went through a communist revolution, and then a capitalist reform. Hence, neither North Korea nor South Korea is quite similar to China anymore.Vietnam on the other hand, share a Confucian tradition with China; they also went through a communist revolution (and the communist party is still in power), and eventually they also had a capitalist reform. Both Vietnam and China are very populated countries with low GDP per capita. The only thing that makes Vietnam less \u201cChinese\u201d is the fact that Vietnam had been colonized by France for a long time, and thus French culture has a great influence in Vietnam.\nNone. The country which is culturally closet to China is China itself. You might want to take North Korea, South Korea and Japan into consideration. But these East Asian countries are all quite different with China in terms of social culture, although they were influenced by the Chinese civilization.It all depends how you define \u201cculturally similar\u201d. If you think European countries are similar with one another more or less, then China, Koreas and Japan could also be considered to be similar with one another more or less. But my four years\u2019 working experience in Germany, France and Switzerland has made me realize that European countries are actually quite different with one another in social culture. The way works in Germany will never work in France, not at all. The people who support European Union would tell you \u201cwe share a lot more similarities than you think\u201d. This may not be wrong. But you could say the same thing towards China, Koreas, and Japan. According to my experience, Germany and France are not culturally very similar with each other. By the same logic, I wouldn\u2019t say North Korea, South Korea and Japan are culturally very similar with China.\nSingapore, since the population is 3 quarter Chinese and many are still able to speak their dialects. It is closer to the southern China though. Also, parts of other countries with a high Chinese concentration is also very similar to China, for example, Queens, New York.Otherwise, I would say Korea and the Japan are the closest without being actually Chinese. Then a close third would be Vietnam, which was influenced heavily by China in history.Of course I have to be politically correct to ignore Taiwan :D\nWarning! I have included some stomach churning photographs.The Nanking Massacre was not an anomaly. It was standard wartime behavior for the Japanese army in WWII.I look upon their behavior with teeth clenching horror.Here is a list of countries invaded, conquered, or occupied by Japan before or during WWII:ChinaSoviet UnionMongoliaVietnamCambodiaLaosUnited StatesMalaysia (UK)SingaporeHong Kong (UK)Dutch East Indies (Indonesia)Timor (Portugal)Australia by seaNew Zealand by seaBurma (Myanmar )IndiaBritish New Guinea (Papua)The PhilippinesAndaman and Nicobar Islands (India)Straits Settlements (Singapore)Brunei (UK)Nauru (Australia)Guam (USA)Imphal (India)Wake Island (USA)Gilbert and Ellice Islands (UK)Christmas island (Australia)ManchuriaTaiwanKoreahttp://www.japan-talk.com/jt/new...Their behavior was generally barbaric. The Japanese were one of the most racist societies in history right up there with and possibly worse than Nazi Germany. They believed their superiority gave them to right to treat their inferiors any way they wanted and they left a swath of 10 million or more civilian bodies in their wake.Civilians were shot, bayoneted, beheaded, mutilated, buried alive, raped in a frenzy of sadistic butchery across Asia wherever they went. Mustard gas and biological agents were used. Medical experiments were done. Pregnant women had their fetuses cut out and both left to die in pools of blood. POWs were murdered, starved, worked to death, used for bayonet practice, decapitated, and eaten.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ja...https://www.hawaii.edu/powerkill...The Japanese have a long history of insincere apologies. Part of the reason is the populace is protected from the facts about their WWII atrocities and are actually encouraged to think of themselves as the victims in the war. Sometimes so outrageous is this denial that there are accusations that reports of atrocities are an American attempt to coverup their own warcrimes.http://time.com/5546/japanese-nh...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Na...http://www2.biglobe.ne.jp/remnan...If the Japanese were to genuinely regret and express this regret like the Germans did then I think they could look forward to being accepted back into the community of Asian nations. But instead their denials continue unabated so the tension persists.Captured photos. Like the Germans the Japanese liked to record their atrocities:Burying alive was standard operating procedure for prisoner disposalNankingBeheadings were done for sportNankingBayonet practiceI have not included the most gruesome photos.\nI am an American. I have never been to Asia.I have no bias to either country, other than a love of both cultures. Or I didn\u2019t, until I learned about this.The massacre, aptly named \u201cThe Rape of Nanjing\u201d has been called a genocide because it was a slaughter of civilians without any reason\u2013The city had already been captured.And not many, but still too many, Japanese people are literally denying any such \u201cconflict\u201d. Everyone else just calls it an exaggeration or demands \u201cproof\u201d. Some of the Japanese do acknowledge it.You know how, in the Western world, Holocaust deniers cause disgust in the regular population? This is like if the entire country of Germany continued to deny the Holocaust, or called it an exaggeration.But like, there are also photographs of young corpses with bayonets sticking out of vaginas littered across the city. Women and little girls were systematically raped, household by household, and then murdered. Children\'s genitals were sliced open to make rape easier for the Japanese soldiers. A pregnant woman was resisting rape, so she was disemboweled, fetus removed, then raped after death. This is all eyewitness accounts by locals and foreigners, film, photographic, primary source evidence.And of course the 100 heads contest, which turned into decapitating 150 Chinese civilians.Who cares if it was 300,000 people or fewer?The Nanjing Massacre is by far the most fucked up thing Japan has ever done, and they literally have memorialized some of the criminals responsible.Japan needs to apologize. I read the Wikipedia article, saw some of these pictures, and I want to call into work in the morning. So I can throw up. And cry.It was like Genocide for Fun.Edit: What a response\u2026!Many have noted the culture of shame and honor in Japan, and how admitting to these atrocities/ \u201capologizing\u201d would be impossible in that context. I see your point.But an apology? It acknowledges that these things happened. Because currently, the war crimes aren\u2019t really acknowledged. That\u2019s how things get omitted from schools, and textbooks. That\'s how Southeast Asians and Koreans and the Chinese stay bitter.When bad things like this happen, when humans do terrible things to other humans, it must be taught. So it does not happen again. We must learn history, as an example of what not to do.Don\u2019t bitch that the Chinese government uses the massacre as propaganda to distract the people and keep them in line. If Japan had apologized, they wouldn\'t be able to use it.It still happened. And more people in Western countries should learn about it. Why not, just because it didn\'t happen to us? What about Rwanda? What about the Balkans, Cambodia? The famines in the USSR?My opinion of Japan has changed drastically. Before, since we fucking nuclear attacked them and somehow have a good relationship now, I respected what I considered a modern and free country. But this totally changed my mind.I still have no hard feelings toward Japanese people, since obviously it\'s not their fault, and just like the rest of Asia, I can\'t live without Japanese shit.Edit 2: Stop trying to invalidate my answer because I\'m American and \u201cnot aware of our own mistakes\u201d. You are making that shit up- I do know what we\'ve done. This question is not about America, so sit the fuck down. I\'m unenthusiastically American. And I\'m sick of my nationality being used to cheapen what I think about the Nanjing Massacre.\nMost of them probably aren\'t aware of it. Those that are aware of it probably each have their own opinion of it, but my guess is that the majority of them think it was a horrific act.There really isn\'t much to think about it other than being shocked and horrified at the horrible depths to which human beings can sink.\nI\'m from Nanjing. Conincidently I talked about this massacre with a Japanese person years ago.My English is not that good:)))) hope you can understand what I\'m writing lol.By the end of this answer I\'ll post some pictures about that.I was born in Nanjing. I\'m now a freshman in Nanjing .Remembering Nanjing Massacre is really necessary for everyone from this city.In Nanjing, since I was born, I\'ll always remember that date: 13th December,1937\u2014-known as the biginning of Nanjing Massacre for Chinese people.Since I was in primary school, until now, in 13th December, the alarm rings all over the city, reminding people of that day. People will always stand still, whatever they are doing, they just stand, and mourning for the victims of Nanjing Massacre. It\'s really awesome and sometimes I\'m proud of that because We are always trying to remember the history.There\'s a memorial museum for the victims of Nanjing Massacre. It presents people with some photos, books, weapons or something else related to that massacre\u2026there are also some bones of..victims.There\'s a really huge wall inside the museum, carved with names of victims.MORE THAN 300,000 names. There\'s another equipment in the museum, it is called \u201cseven drops of water\u201d Every seven second water drops, resembling one person died because of the slaughter.Whenever I visit that place I feel sad and angry.The huge wall. On the left and right side carved with names of victims. In the middle the screen shows faces of victims.Bones of victimsAnother place is near my home where Japanese people made a big slaughter. It\'s near YangZi River.What impressed me most is that one rainy day I rode a bike on the road. Studdenly I found a bunch of flower in front of the monument. The flower is fresh.There are always some people remembering the history.Another small incident is when I was in high school. One Monday, one history teacher in my school told us about her story. Her family was ruined by that massacre and a lot of people died. She lived. Then she cried..she\'s chocking with sobs\u2026It\u2019a really tough for those Nanjinger who went through the terrible massacre and will always be a nightmare..There are less than 100 survivals. But we will never let the truth and history scatter in the wind.I\u2019m not saying that we should hate Japan. On the contrary we need to learn a lot from the massacre:The corrupt and lag of China is the reason why we are killed and massacred. We need to be strong.We are not to hate. Hate is about the former generation. What we should know is that peace is a good thing. We should forget about hate and cherish peace.We should remember the history and learn from the past. We need to remember because both for China and Japan we are avoiding making such mistakes.Finally here\u2019a what Japanese say about Nanjing Massacre\nYou asked me to answer this question, but I know my answer is going to disappoint you and this is an honest answer as A Japanese. I had been hesitating to answer after getting A2A, because I just remember the "word" Nanjing Massacre.\xa0\xa0 Textbooks and education differs by generation.\xa0 I am in my 30\'s and don\'t remember what I learned in junior high or high schools,\xa0 and for me back then, history was just a subject that I had to pass tests, and I was just busy memorizing what happened in which year.\xa0 This is just my experience and I don\'t know about other genetations, but I think schools focused more about telling us what happend between the US and Japan.\xa0 I remember that I saw some videos about the bombing in Japan and attack on Pearl Harbor.\xa0 This is just what I think, but as for Japanese, only people who are interested in history know well about Nanjin Massacre.I am a person who was wondering why Japanese government has to keep apolozing Chinese and South Korean governments.I started using Quora several months ago and Quora users\' answers are helping me learn about what Japan did.\nWarning!

On the left and right side carved with names of victims. In the middle the screen shows faces of victims.Bones of victimsAnother place is near my home where Japanese people made a big slaughter. It\'s near YangZi River.What impressed me most is that one rainy day I rode a bike on the road. Studdenly I found a bunch of flower in front of the monument. The flower is fresh.There are always some people remembering the history.Another small incident is when I was in high school. One Monday, one history teacher in my school told us about her story. Her family was ruined by that massacre and a lot of people died. She lived. Then she cried..she\'s chocking with sobs\u2026It\u2019a really tough for those Nanjinger who went through the terrible massacre and will always be a nightmare..There are less than 100 survivals. But we will never let the truth and history scatter in the wind.I\u2019m not saying that we should hate Japan. On the contrary we need to learn a lot from the massacre:The corrupt and lag of China is the reason why we are killed and massacred. We need to be strong.We are not to hate. Hate is about the former generation. What we should know is that peace is a good thing. We should forget about hate and cherish peace.We should remember the history and learn from the past. We need to remember because both for China and Japan we are avoiding making such mistakes.Finally here\u2019a what Japanese say about Nanjing Massacre\nYou asked me to answer this question, but I know my answer is going to disappoint you and this is an honest answer as A Japanese. I had been hesitating to answer after getting A2A, because I just remember the "word" Nanjing Massacre.\xa0\xa0 Textbooks and education differs by generation.\xa0 I am in my 30\'s and don\'t remember what I learned in junior high or high schools,\xa0 and for me back then, history was just a subject that I had to pass tests, and I was just busy memorizing what happened in which year.\xa0 This is just my experience and I don\'t know about other genetations, but I think schools focused more about telling us what happend between the US and Japan.\xa0 I remember that I saw some videos about the bombing in Japan and attack on Pearl Harbor.\xa0 This is just what I think, but as for Japanese, only people who are interested in history know well about Nanjin Massacre.I am a person who was wondering why Japanese government has to keep apolozing Chinese and South Korean governments.I started using Quora several months ago and Quora users\' answers are helping me learn about what Japan did.\nWOMAN IN CHINAWoman in China is secure, enjoys her freedom and works very hard in whatever field she is working into. China, as Asia\u2019s biggest economy and manufacturing giant, no doubt has a very strong and dedicated female participation in this achievement. \xa0One can see Chinese woman working almost in every field like shops, cabs, hotels, restaurants, bus drivers, agents, taxi drivers besides they are in traditional sectors like Education, Army, Hospitals and in factories manufacturing almost everything in the world. \xa0This was a pleasant experience to see them enjoying their freedom, as they almost seems to be in total control in hospitality sector of Chinese Railways, Chinese Airports /Planes/Airports , Chinese Bus Stands and they work shoulder to shoulder with male counterparts without any visible discomfort. \xa0During my stay of two weeks and travelling extensively from Shanghai to Tibetan Plateau, not a single time I was able to see any man taking interest in any woman, ogling or staring at someone. Now, this observation also includes those faces too, which I marked as \u201cNot Good\u201d . \xa0I saw them travelling alone late night metros and bus services and even driving cabs in night. As a India born, such sight in a Asian country, I am sure is rare. A strong economy comes from a safe and secure woman. I am sue, India has to learn a lot from China. What Chinese aggression and heavy headedness is promoted by international media \u2013 I could not see any such trait in them.\xa0I haven\u2019t noticed anywhere in China where they are going \u201cover\u201d \u2013 it looks as they know and understand importance, responsibility of their role and they are equally acknowledged by their companion and families. \xa0Chines do not show much \u201c Westernized \u201c emotions in public and love and romance is limited to hugs, a arm around waist like gestures. Husbands/ Boyfriends were seen holding woman purses \u2013 and she was leaning to his arm or freely walking carrying herself like a queen. \xa0One more thing, which I so far, could not see is, anger and aggression in male voice while interacting with woman in public. And not only anger or aggression, I have yet to see teasing, leg pulling like common male traits. I don\u2019t think such behavior might not be there, but it seems they are careful in their conduct in public.I had my share of crooked and pissed of woman working in pharmacies and shops, where they were least interested in exploring ways to communicate with a alien, they simply negate..\u201d May Yo \u201c is big NO, as soon as you try to make a conversation. But such simple and natural experiences are acceptable in a country where Non-Chinese speaking people are aliens.\xa0Source: Woman in China\nBeing a foreign woman in China is quite a different experience to being a Chinese woman in China. I\'ve been living in China for over 6 years and I\'ll tell you 5 crazy things that have happened to me here and what I think they mean for women in China. Here\'s a little backstory: I came to China alone, having graduated in 2008 when the economy was awful for jobs. I chose to find a job in Chengdu, since it was off the beaten track. I didn\'t want easy access to foreign products and English-speakers, I wanted the real deal. I figured if I was going to be in China, I\'d better be in China, if you know what I mean. Here are some of the things that happened to me in my first years living in China, you may choose to believe me or not, but none of this is exaggerated. If you\'ve read this far, don\'t stop at this list, I don\'t want to give you the wrong impression. I actually love China, though it may not look like it at first, so if you\'ve made it this far, keep reading!For each of these points, I\'ll explain what I think was happening and how that relates to being a foreign woman in China. All of my lingerie was stolen from my balcony when I left it hanging on the line to dry. When I walk down the street, I often turn around to see a line of people following closely behind me like ducklings. A gas leak in my apartment caused me to pass out in the shower and when I awoke I found that the hospital had put me in front of a big glass window (I was still wet and still naked). A group of construction workers curiously stood around chain-smoking and watching the show. I am often called a Russian prostitute on the street and sometimes cars slowly follow me as I\'m walking. I\'ve been on Chinese TV multiple times.So let\'s break these down and see what we can really discover about being a foreign woman in China. By the way, if you have any questions or want to hear more, I have a podcast that talks all about what it\'s like to live in China. Find it here: www.writtenchinese.com/podcastNumber 1 : Let\'s Talk about the Undies! My underwear mysteriously went missing after I had been in China for about a week. I made the mistake of leaving it on the line to dry overnight, and a sneaky thong bandit crawled up my balcony and snatched them! I have a few theories about this. First, this happened back in 2009, and at that time online shopping in China was still far from being refined. I would bet that back then, very few people ordered their panties online, so they were left to choose from whatever was sold at the local shops. China is traditionally much more conservative when it comes to sexuality than the West, so often this means a lot of high-waisted granny panties and forget about any luscious fabrics like silk and lace. My theory #1: It was a young women who snatched them to impress a boyfriend or husband. China being as conservative as it is; maybe my panties being on display for several hours was a bit too risque and offended one of the neighbors. My theory #2: An uptight older lady pulled them down to teach me a lesson. Where I was living was close to a high school. Several of the children from that high school lived in the same complex where I was living.My theory #3: Some teenage boys couldn\'t resist, and then distributed my garments like Halloween candy to their mates. I\'ll never know what actually happened, but one thing\'s for sure: Foreign ladies in China, dry your undies INDOORS!\xa0 Number 2 : Chinese Ducklings will Follow You AnywhereLet me clarify something when talking about this one: I was not living in a particularly urban area. I was near Chengdu, but still quite a distance from the actual city. The surrounding area was countryside, so a lot of people I encountered were farmers or factory workers. Whenever I would go out on the street, I would attract a lot of attention. It still happens today where I live in Shenzhen, but it\'s much more mild than before. These days most Chinese people are used to seeing foreign men here and there, but foreign women can still be a spectacle. At that time, when I would go out, people would be so intrigued about what a foreigner might like to buy or eat, that they would follow me around snapping photos and giggling. I imagine I got a tiny taste of what it\'s like to be a Hollywood starlet. Though I have days where I just want to disappear into the crowd, for the most part this phenomenon is a big advantage. It\'s easier to get higher paying jobs, get special treatment at the local spa, and I don\'t think I\'ve ever paid for a drink at a club. Being constantly watched is something you get used to, and if you learn to see the benefits, you really can\'t complain.\xa0 Number 3 : The Monkey in the Hospital ZooI remember clearly waking up in that hospital bed after getting knocked out by CO. Safety standards in China have definitely improved, but there are some things you learn the hard way- like NEVER open the window between the shower and the gas water heater. Fortunately I was living with a roommate who noticed that I had passed out and in a panic, he scooped me into a blanket and rushed me to the hospital. In the chaos, he didn\'t grab any clothes. When I came to, they had me hooked up to some IVs and although they had attempted to cover me up, there was definitely more on display than I would have wanted. I guess they put me in front of a big glass window for several reasons. First, maybe they thought the light and sounds would revive me. Second, they probably had never had a foreign patient at that hospital before. Having me there for the world to see likely brought the place some kind of prestige. Finally, maybe this is standard procedure and I\'m looking too far into it.\xa0 Whatever the reason was, I\'m sure that there are some Chinese constructions workers out there who still reminisce about the time they saw a nude foreign girl in the window. Number 4 : I\'m not Russian!If you\'re a young foreign white woman in China with a slight build, then you have no doubt been called a Russian. I can\'t tell you how many times I\'ve been in the elevator and people are talking about the "Russian Miss", thinking that I don\'t understand what they\'re saying. You have to understand that many Chinese people can\'t comprehend why an American girl would want to live in China. Chinese people are generally very pragmatic and after all, as Americans we can make more money at home where we have voting rights and clean air. There is a large amount of Russian women who come over to China as \'dancers\', to take advantage of the burgeoning economy. It\'s for this reason that many people assume that I am a lady of the night. Whether I dress casually or not, someone somewhere will call me a Russian. On 6 or 7 occasions I\'ve had guys following me in their cars while I walked to work in the morning. I guess they are looking for 8am nookie?! I will say though, that I\'ve never really felt unsafe. While their catcalls and wandering eyes can make me feel uncomfortable, these kind of run-ins are few and far between and have never escalated beyond a nuisance. I\'ve had WAY worse in other countries, trust me. In fact, China is probably the most low-key country I\'ve been to when it comes to getting harassed on the street. Still, it\'s a weird thing being propositioned in broad daylight. But don\'t go feeling sorry for me, the ones who get it the worst are the decent Russian girls who come here to make an honest living. Number 5 : It\'s Showtime!Wow, have you really read to the bottom of my answer? I\'m flattered! I hope you\'ve gotten some insights into what it\'s like to be a Caucasian foreign woman in China. While there are some crazy things that can happen, in a nutshell being a foreign woman here means you have many great advantages, and a few minor annoyances. I wanted to end with this idea of being on TV to demonstrate just how cool it can be in China as a woman. Due to the fact that foreign women are still the oddballs here, people often jump at the chance to grab an audience\'s attention by having our faces on advertisements, billboards and TV shows. If you\'ve ever wanted to be a star and loved by millions, China is the easiest place to do it. I\'ve been offered quite a few modeling jobs and I\'m 5\' 7"! I\'d recommend any woman to come to China and see for herself. It\'s safe, it\'s a great learning experience, and you\'ll definitely take some stories home with you. Remember, if you have any more questions for me about life in China. Go to the podcast link above and ask me ANYTHING! Or you can see what I\'m up to at the software company here at: Written Chinese \nWhat does it feel like to be a woman living in China?I\u2019m a Shanghainese woman so\u2026\u2026 I noticed I shouldn\u2019t be complaining about life. Because if I do, many people will tell me to go to hell. One easy way to tell about a woman\'s life is to look at the man next to her. And Shanghainese men are famous known for:The Versatile Ma Da SaoMa da dao is Shanghainese slang meaning, \u201cshop, wash, cook.\u201dThe exception is when the term is used to describe men in Shanghai \u2014 guys who don\u2019t just shop, wash and cook, but famously do so without complaint\u2026..The Professional Bag CarrierWhen shopping with her Shanghainese boyfriend or husband (yes, Shanghai men shop, remember \u201cma\u201d from point number one?) the Shanghai female doesn\u2019t need to carry any bags, including her own petite purse\u2026.Family PrideChatting with a married Western man, you may need to wait hours before he mentions his wife. Chatting with a married Shanghainese man, you may need to wait hours before he stops talking about his wife\u2026..ToleranceThe relationship between mother and daughter-in-law is like an active volcano in the Middle Marriage Kingdom. But the Shanghai husband\u2019s legendary tolerance can single-handedly turn a lava flow into a pile of dead ashes, or a volcano to be enjoyed and admired like Mt. Fuji\u2026\u2026.Masculinity in DisguiseShanghainese men simply see it as their responsibility to provide their families with a wealthy life. Their outlook is, \u201cI\u2019ll make all the money and deal with all the \u2018bei-ju,\'\u201d a internet phrase in China meaning \u201ceverything tragic.\u201d\u2026..[Shanghai men]These might be considered \u201cwhipped\u201d by outsiders, but a Shanghainese man will tell you proudly that it\u2019s their pleasure. (No kidding) The superpowers of Shanghai husbands allow them to actually have fun in malls and salons.One Shanghai government official once openly stated: \u201cWe Shanghai men not only know the importance of supporting the family financially, but we also know the importance of emotional support and always show consideration to our wives.\u201dHow did the relationship between Shanghainese men and women evolved into today?Honestly, I don\u2019t know. Everything just seems so natural in Shanghai. (I\u2019d be happy to hear what everybody thinks\u2026.)\nI don\'t know about being a Chinese woman in China (and I think Faye Wang perfectly answered the question) but I can tell you about being a western expat woman living in China, in Shanghai in particular.In my experience, living in China as a woman was very different on one point: safety. Shanghai is pretty safe when you\'re an expat, a woman in particular, and it really changed my life as I was not afraid of going out late at night, alone and wearing a skirt. I\'m sure some people will disapprove as I obviously do not represent the majority of woman in China, but it is something that we shared with my girlfriends there. You can go out in the weirdest district but nobody would tease you or hit on you, same thing in the country when I visited Yunnan or Shanxi.Finally, maybe I feel this way because Paris is not so safe anymore for ladies, but it was really appreciable not to have guys hitting on us all day and being rude.\nI spent my early years in a prefecture level city. I may have been one of the luckiest little girls in the world, because my dad used to say "you are a human being first, a woman second. Don\'t ever let anyone look down on you because of your gender." He made sure my extended family treated me with the same respect they gave to the male cousins.I don\'t live in China now, but I still go back quite frequently. I\'m so optimistic seeing the emergence of the independent women who ask themselves "what do I want to accomplish with my career? who am I and what do I stand for as an individual?" - something that rarely existed for my parents\' generation. But at the same time, these same women ask me "is it possible for a feminine woman to do that?" This is for tasks like negotiating effectively, or coming out on top of traditionally male / or any field.This concept of "feminine woman" seems to be causing a mental glass ceiling for these women. I suspect many of the self made, white collar women have been dumped or shafted from romantic relationships because they come off as "non feminine" or "too intense". The recent PR campaign "Leftover Women (http://en.wikipedia.org/(wiki/Sheng_nu) shaming independent single women didn\'t help either. I wish I could make these women understand that they are more beautiful and stronger than they have ever given themselves credit for.Despite the down sides, I think the status of women in China is better than it has ever been. And maybe one day soon we can all celebrate the beautiful, independent, successful Chinese woman.\nIt means you are speechless.

For example:you are surprised by something unbelievable, thrilling or disgusting.a saw,especially used by iron lady, \u5973\u6c49\u5b50\nI want to clarify two points before give my answer. Firstly, a bad government does not necessarily mean that the government wants to hurt its people intentionally, and vise versa. So I would regard what the government had done as bad if its consequences hurt people no matter what the intention is. Secondly, all Chinese leaders in modern Chinese history do have the same dream of \u201cmaking China great again (MCGA)\u201d based on their traditional education that the Chinese culture used to be the greatest and an educated Chinese is dutiful to work for China, and this MCGA is of course mixed with different personal world views and ambitions. So I\u2019ll try to answer the question with a brief analysis to begin with on why and how things of China happened to be this way with a reminder now and then on what a thinking might have been involved.Modern day Chinese government started in 1911 after the Uprising of October 10, 1911. Five national flags had changed in Mainland China since as showing below. With each flag change there was a major social change behind, but all changes were somehow connected to MCGA based on Chinese thinking. I\u2019ll make my case with a chronological account of the major events along with flag changes.Flag A \uff081889\u20131911\uff09: Qing dynasty (1644\u20131912), an empire that had a territory three times of the precedent Ming Dynasty, was a creation of Manchus who came from the north of the Great Wall and conquered Ming Dynasty of Han Chinese in 1644 (figure below, left) without using a national flag officially until 1889 since national flag was a western concept. Under constant pressure from both inside and outside, the empire, as a fully recognized sovereignty by the West and having had numerous conflicts with European powers, finally sent official delegates in 1905 to Europe and America to check the Western world out and announced its plan to transform the Dynasty to constitutional monarchy in 1906 as a result. The dynasty published The Outline of Imperial Constitution three years later. But the reform fell short and the dynasty was ended after another three years after its announcement of the Constitution outline. The ruling people simply didn\u2019t have the way of thinking to figure out what was truly wrong with their system and how to save the decaying dynasty.Flag B \uff081911.10\u20131912.1\uff09: The 1911 Revolution to overthrow Qing broke off on October 10, and a stratocracy was established next day in WuChang. It has been acknowledged as the beginning of Republic of China (ROC), and their national flag, the first one for ROC, was this \u201c18 ball-star\u201d flag (also the picture above, right), a reflection of the revolutionaries\u2019 ideal of reinstating Han people\u2019s rule of the 18 provinces, the territory of Ming Dynasty. Specifically their ideal was \u201c to expel the Tatar barbarians (\u9a71\u9010\u9791\u864f), to Revive Chinese Society (Zhonghua) (\u6062\u590d\u4e2d\u534e)\u201d. Zhonghua meant the Han dynasty both culturally and territorially at that time and was formally proposed in 1895 by the revolutionaries .Flag C (1912\u20131928): The 1911 Revolution was an unexpected easy win for the revolutionaries. Within seven weeks following the uprising 15 out of the 18 provinces, the territory of Ming Dynasty, announced independence from Qing. The 13th Dalai Lama, who was in exile in India after Qing emperor stripped his title resulting from a dispute, also announced Tibet independence from Qing after the Uprising. He came back next year (or in 1913) and made an announcement of Tibet independence again; and Mongolians announced independence on 12/28, 1911 as well. However, among the revolutionaries those who wanted to inherit Qing dynasty won the debate over those who only wanted to \u201crevive Zhonghua\u201d. On the first day of 1912, ROC was formally announced to have been established and the flag was changed to this \u201cfive-colored\u201d, representing a republic of five peoples: Hans, Manchus, Mongols, Tibetans, and Muslims (Hui \u56de). Han people, who used to overthrew the huge Mongol-ruled Yuan Dynasty and revived Han dynasty of Ming by expelling Mongols out of their proper, now were no longer following their ancestors to revive Han dynasty by expelling Manchus out China proper. Rather, they inherited this huge Manchu dynasty entirely without putting up much fight. The flag showed their ambition. They believed that they would build a new republic to make the MCGA dream come true. However, counting for 95% of the total population, they never seriously consulted with other non-Han leaders of the four big minorities about the ruling of this new republic yet still an inherited empire, and most of them still believed that those minorities were barbarians. ROC consequently denied both Tibetan and Mongolian independence claims by including both areas in its Provisional Constitution of the Republic of China launched in March, 1912.It was a turning point for the history of Han Chinese, for they had to think for the first time about everything not only happening in their proper but in the areas as twice large as their proper inhabited with only other minorities who didn\u2019t speak/write Han language/characters, nor worship Confucius but their own gods, and their economy was based not on tilling but grazing. Manchu emperors ruled Han people thru adapting Han culture and other non-Han people thru Tribute System, in which the emperor\u2019s power quickly waned with the increase of distance between him and his subjects which in effect allowed self ruling. Although ROC\u2019s sovereignty over Tibet and Mongolia was internationally recognized, still, in 1924 came the first blow to ROC: Mongolian People\'s Republic was declared to be independent with Soviet Russia\u2019s support that was first rejected by ROC but finally warranted twenty years later through a treaty between MPR and Soviet Russia in 1945. The treaty also permanently separated outer Mongolia from inner Mongolia allowing the latter stay within ROC. In 1946 ROC formally accepted MPR, the size of ROC was down by about 15% in Han people\u2019s eyes.Flag D (1915.12.15\u20131916.03.22): A short but very important time for only about 100 days. Key words for this 100 days: ROC was put in constitutional crisis within three months by one of her founders after its birth and the republic empire failed in her beginning.After the Uprising of October 1911, the forced-out military strongman Yuan Shi-kai was called back to rescue Qing empire and became the number one man being the Premier. His troops made the rebellions----the ROC union of the independent provinces----under check, and both sides started to make deal under British mediation. Both agreed to let the Qing go and to start a Han ruling empire, and Yuan would be the president because he was the only one able to hold up the stake. In December 1911 Sun Yat-sen, the leader of anti-Qing Han revolutionaries but not the actual leader of 1911 Revolution came to China from his exile. Sun let his followers elect him provisional president on Dec. 29, 1911. It annoyed Yuan obviously, and even New York Times was surprised in its report of Dec. 31, 1911: \u201cDr. Sun\'s election, occurring simultaneously with the peace delegates agreeing to refer the form of government to the convention, indicates a lack of harmony among the republicans, which partly stultifies the work of Dr. Wu Ting-Fang and apparently violates the understanding with Yuan Shi-Kai.\u201d (Wu was the first British educated Chinese Barrister grown up in Qing dynasty.)Yuan immediately pulled his representative out of the talk. It apparently pressed Sun to publically announce on Jan. 21 and 22, 1912, that he was only doing the job for the time being and would step down to let Yuan be the president as soon as the Qing Emperor had abdicated. The talk was resumed and both sides agreed to peacefully transfer to republic with Yuan promising to persuade Qing to surrender the ruling power. The Empress Dowager Longyu announced Abdication on behalf of the last Emperor to yield ruling power to Han people on Feb. 12, 1912. The outgoing Empress surely in fear of being mistreated made it clear in this fewer than 400-character Abdication that the power was going to the Han representative, her Premier Yuan Shikai, to organize a new republic government.However, Sun controlled Nanjing congress made the Provisional Constitution on March 8 and approved and announced by the stepping down Sun on March 11, the same day Yuan augmented as the president. As the historian Tong Tekong describes, \u201cThis Provisional Constitution, which has deeply influenced the modern history of China, \u2026(has) changed the format of government from American Presidency to French Parliament. Its provision of presidency makes the premier directly report to the congress not the president, and, thus, the president becomes only a state symbol. Sun announces it on March 11, 1912\u2026\u2026This design is obviously created to restrain Yuan. He is not going to have the power like Sun did.\u201d (My translation of quote from \u300a\u8881\u6c0f\u6cbb\u56fd\u300bby Tong Tekong, 2004)The ROC inevitably fell into constitutional crisis immediately as a new republic empire that desperately needed a strong government to make the transfer from a Confucian faith-state tyranny to a rule-of-law republic while Yuan\'s hands were tied up. Without Yuan\u2019s leadership, all local strongmen thought that this republic was a joke, or a game for power. ROC lost its critical first two years to set its footing. The entire politics was a circus to the people simply showing that democratic freedom as a brand new ideal was a chaos but nothing else. This experience and understanding of democracy has continued in many Chinese minds to this day.After a chaotic period for a little more than three and half a year since his presidency, Yuan, advised by his advisers, the renowned American legal scholar Frank Johnson Goodnow (\u2026known for his assertion that the Chinese people were not mature enough for a democratic form of government\u2014a position that was later utilized by Yuan, as he attempted to proclaim himself the Emperor of China in 1915-6.), and his Japanese adviser Aruga Nagao (\u6709\u8d3a\u957f\u96c4, the first Japanese Nobel prize nominee), had a showdown with Sun\u2019s party and decided to reform the republic empire. In December, 1915, Yuan announced his reform\u2014-to change the system to constitutional monarchy with the name Empire of China with regnal year Hongxian (\u6d2a\u5baa), meaning \u201cgrand constitutional\u201d. But it was beyond the understanding of ordinary Chinese who never heard anything in such that an emperor would be living and ruling under constitution. They just wanted not to see another emperor crown on any of their new rulers, regardless. \u2014\u2014A lesson definitely learned by all later Chinese leaders whoever ruled China ever since: Never bear emperor title to rule no matter what the reality is.Yuan publicly withdrew his plan and apologized to his people 100 days later. He died on the 6th day of June, 1916, after failing to bring the system under control, only bearing a name of \u201carch-usurper of state power\u201d recorded in history books still taught in today\u2019s China. Sun continued to fight for power to modernize China under him by starting \u201cthird revolution\u201d .Flag E (1928\u20131949 in Mainland; \u2013present in Taiwan): Sun started a new party, Chinese Revolutionary Party (CRP), the pre-KMT. He asked party members to be absolutely loyal to him, even claimed, \u201c \u2026without me any pursuit of republic or democracy has to end in its opposite side. I must ask every comrade to obey me for I\u2019m pursuing the revolution (for the nation). You would be deadly wrong as soon as you doubted about your obedience. You people simply have so limited knowledge and experience, so you go nowhere except following me without asking any questions.\u201d (My translation of quote from A Memoir of the Era of Chinese Revolutionary Party 1989\u300a\u4e2d\u534e\u9769\u547d\u515a\u65f6\u4ee3\u7684\u56de\u5fc6\u300bby Ju Zheng.) Sun\u2019s CRP transformed to KMT in 1919, two years before Chinese Communist Party was created.In 1923 KMT under Sun received financial and military aid from Soviet Union after Sun had repeatedly failed to find aids from western countries and Japan. KMT held its first Nationalist Congress in 1924, claiming to represent all political classes in its struggle for the unification of China. KMT reorganized to adopt key organizational features of the Soviet communist party. Sun allowed CCP members to join KMT and increasingly used ideology as a means to centralize the power of KMT. It\u2019s Sun who started following the Soviets to set Anti-Imperialism as the primary goal of Chinese revolution, and he was the one who first used the term Unequal Treaties to prove the Chinese humiliation by International Imperialism. His student and successor Chiang Kai-shek reunified China in 1928 by defeating all the \u201crunning dogs of Imperialism,\u201d the local warlords. He changed Sun\u2019s policy of collaboration with CCP and crackdowned CCP in 1927. He now became another \u201crunning dog of imperialism\u201d called by CCP, a party more revolutionarily radical, but his teacher Sun has been regarded as the Founding Father of Modern China by both parties.Chiang\u2019s fight against CCP was doomed after Sino-Japanese war broke off in 1937. As the historian Anthony James Joes puts, \u201cThe Japaneses war devastated the Nationalists forces, revived the Communist party, and thus changed the history of the world.\u201d (Resisting Rebellion: The History and Politics of Counterinsurgency, 2006) But Chiang insisted following Sun\u2019s ideology. At the end of WWII, seeing the dawn of Japanese defeat, Chiang Kai-Shek published his China\u2019s Destiny and brought up the Unequal Treaties magic again to fuel up nationalism to support his rule but ignored internal reforms. The corrupted KMT rule ended in 1949 after a three year long bloody civil war between KMT and CCP.During Chiang\u2019s rule Xinjiang Muslims rebelled in 1933 (First East Turkestan Republic). Ten years later, Muslims, encouraged and organized by the Soviet Union, rebelled at Ili. It lasted to 1949 and the rebellions turned to CCP for support against Nationalists. Second East Turkestan Republic was short lived during the rebellion but its influence continued to this day among Xinjiang Muslims.Flag F (1949-present, in Mainland): After PRC was created in 1949, the Nationalist State system was replaced with Communist State system in Mainland China. CCP\u2019s rule of China during Mao era was Stalinist style plus Mao\u2019s destructive thinking in the construction of PRC. By the time of Mao\u2019s death the GDP of PRC was less than 5% of the world\u2019s against its 22% world population, which made per capita GDP of China at a level of a little more than a fifth of the world\u2019s. (table below, Loren Brandt et al, 2014)Led by Mao China joined USSR bloc and fought against America in N. Korea and Viet Nam, had border conflicts with India and USSR, and was in war with Viet Nam after Mao\u2019s death. Conflicts between Han ruling and Tibet and Xinjiang minorities have remained as the main concerns of the government from time to time, including Dalai Lama\u2019s escape to India in 1959.China\u2019s industrialization before Reform was a copy of Soviet model. Over one hundred thirty Key Projects mostly of heavy industry were most completed aided by Soviets. China also developed nuke bombs and launched satellite while having an undeveloped economy. A great famine broke up at the end of 1950s thru the beginning two years of 1960s that perished millions of lives. Mao started Cultural Revolution in 1966 to continue his pursuit of MCGA mixed with his Marxism and never had China\u2019s social norms reinstalled until his death in 1976.After Mao\u2019s death Economic Reform started in late 1970s internally and extended externally in early 1980s. China reopened to the world and the reform eventually led to the abandonment of communism practice in PRC but the country did not change its flag for the first time in past 100 years after a major social transformation. China had made her first remarkable social change essentially peacefully for ten years until Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. But the country didn\u2019t stop its economic reform and its per capita GDP has grown from ~20% to 116% of the world average, ranking at ~80th in 2014. Chinese economy now is the second largest after pooling in all of its 20% world population.To summarize, I would draw some factual conclusions based on this very brief review of China\u2019s past 100 years:1. There have been many Chinese leaders who all wanted to live up to this MCGA in past 100 years with personal marks. Sun, a typical example as widely revered and as reviled, gave MCGA a personal interpretation for all Chinese and moved forward with measures undermined the first Chinese republic. Deng, who was one of many Mao\u2019s students and comrades, reopened China which led to the great success of Chinese economic development but the abandonment of communism unintentionally. Today\u2019s China is at her apex in Chinese history although its per capita GDP is still behind many countries. Never before there were so many Chinese who could enjoy a quality life like now. China\u2019s new leader now is apparently taking MCGA personal again. So China\u2019s future will largely determined by his own MCGA interpretation.2. Modern China is an inheritance of Qing Empire although the ruling people Han are not the conquerors. However, after Han\u2019s ruling became no more a Tribute System, PRC itself has been bearing characteristics of imperialism. During Mao era this characteristics had been managed thru \u201cclass struggle\u201d but evolved to a conflict between Han and other major minorities after \u201cclass struggle\u201d was discarded. The fundamental cultural differences between Han and other minorities have not been diminished thru 100 year long Han ruling, and Han people\u2019s MCGA hasn\u2019t been transformed to becoming other minorities\u2019 dream which is clearly shown in China\u2019s social and economic development that mostly is in the region of southeastern but not in northwestern China.3. The MCGA dream is rooted in traditional thinking but has not evolved along with China\u2019s industrialization to a Chinese Modernity. The theory of Sun has helped Han Chinese keep China united but also created nationalism that blamed China\u2019s misery on the Western capitalism and led China to choosing Russian Leninism. Its practice in China caused Chinese people tens millions of lives and put Chinese economic development on hold for 27 years.4. The failure of China\u2019s early republic experiment has been imposing a huge negative impact on Chinese people\u2019s view of democracy and keeping haunting them, which in combination with China\u2019s imperialist characteristics has been strangling China to an emotional tangle. Restrained by the way of Chinese thinking together with decades long twisted education, it becomes a somewhat popular Chinese view that there are always hostile forces out there who only want to destroy China. This ghost can come out to play at government\u2019s will to shift the attention of the public to Chinese problems.5. China\u2019s economic development in past 35 years is a great achievement. This achievement has made the MCGA dream never so close to come true. It\u2019s no question that the achievement is attributed to the work of Chinese people. However, it is to a large extent misinterpreted in ignoring the fact that it is a part of the modernization of entire human civilization. To over emphasize this great achievement as the inevitable renaissance of ancient Chinese civilization creates a blind pride blocking people from seeing what human Modernity is really about and from recognizing the problems with Chinese culture. It will only slow down the development of critical thinking and consequently make it more difficult to find solutions to existing historic Chinese issues.Finally, What makes Chinese government a bad government? I believe, that the leaders of Chinese government keep thinking in a traditional way in their effort to make MCGA come true often becomes what makes Chinese government a bad government as shown in modern Chinese history. China has never been so strong and resourceful but the traditional thinking cannot evolve with the fast progress of Chinese society and the world modernization. China\u2019s government is ruling her with great fear in my view which is inherited from the history and enforced thru self victimized education to Chinese people. The 1.4 billion Chinese people should not only be the labors of the world factory but also part of the brain pool of entire human race, including the non-Han Chinese, to think freely. It won\u2019t happen until Chinese leaders are free from traditional way of thinking.*Edit: After seeing it viewed by over 3k times I decided to come to correct some errors and comment on my claim in the last sentence. Obviously it is rhetorical if every Chinese leader only comes from Chinese people. Therefore, I think that we can only say that the ruling of Chinese government will change with time when people make changes with their thinking. I know that I might be wrong. So I truly welcome critics and appreciate different thoughts.**Edit: I made correction on Chinese GDP calculations. Now I would like to add my perspective on the MCGA as to what it really means in order to clarify questions by the reader related to it. Probably nobody knows exactly what the contents of MCGA are because it is basically a subjective wishful thinking that was initially based on \u201cChinese Humiliation\u201d . The humiliation was real, yet the question was who to blame on for the misery. Through late Qing dynasty and early ROC years Chinese elites commonly believed that the Chinese culture itself was the root cause of the problem and the culture needed to be modernized. The thinking was changed after Sun Yat-sen turned to Soviet Russia for help and formally announced in Sun\u2013Joffe Manifesto at the beginning of 1923. Sun since modified his Three Principles of the People in which his first principle Nationalism (MinZu \u6c11\u65cf) was no longer \u201cto expel the Tatar barbarians (\u9a71\u9010\u9791\u864f), to Revive Chinese Society (Zhonghua) (\u6062\u590d\u4e2d\u534e)\u201d, but to unify China and maintain its independency through the course of Anti-Imperialism. Obviously it fitted the the new ROC, an inherited Qing empire, by attributing all Chinese problems to Western powers\u2019 bullying. Chinese culture itself was spared but a victim of Western invasion. After the showdown between the more radical revolutionary CCP and KMT, Confucianism was replaced by Communism in Mainland after KMT was eventually defeated. Thirty years later after communist practice failed in PRC it logically led to the belief that communism must be the problem. Now, after achieving its great economic development, China is returning to the point to catch the culprit again. The answer is obvious if Sun\u2019s theory still holds up to Chinese leaders. Or else, if their way of thinking has changed because Sun\u2019s theory can\u2019t hold up any more when being scrutinized differently.\nA lot of answers here suggest that it\'s very hard to define a good/bad government, but I would say it\'s surprisingly simple.Historically, China\u2019s government should take care of its people, and the emperor should be kind but decisive, leading his people to make the proper decision under tough circumstances. Sounds pretty much like every government should do, right? The most significant difference between China\'s good government and the West\u2019s is that China\'s government doesn\'t work on (capitalist) social contract. The emperor works more like a family member of his citizens.Nowadays, different people have different values for judging if the government is good or not. Based on corruption, regulation and many other reasons, liberals believe China should adopt the Western political system as soon as possible. Meanwhile, conservatives believe the country should stay as it is for a while and see if this system and its evolved version can still work in the future. After all it has been working well in the past few decades.Liberals may tell you that China\'s current government is bad, but conservatives may tell you that it is actually pretty good. It all depends on who you\'re with.This is a pretty good thing. Plurality, if carefully managed, can keep people mentally agile. Luckily, China doesn\'t have some kind of political correctness or universal political standard yet, prompting the country to carefully think more about the future of itself.\nConsidering the large population, the current government definitely did a great job there.By the way, this question itself is not referenced to a sufficiently correct fact. That indicates some mystery motivations, and to some extents, this question just simply twist China government being bad, which is an infringement of first rule of quora. Please reformat this one, cheers.\nI think the question is not a proper one.Since the one who asked the question has already had a preconceived idea that Chinese government is a bad government,and he just turned to quora to find someone who can support his idea with some clues to make himself convinced that he is right.Whether Chinese government is a bad government is a question without answer.Actually it\'s not proper to evaluate a government with a word such as good or bad.Maybeit\'s no a big problem to comment on its behaviors with such words.we can say that the Chinese government did a unpleasant job before 1980s,it made many mistakes and didn\'t make the country coming to a prosperous future in the right direction.Though,it did make some contribution to the country\u2019s development,it should have done more.After that period,china has gone such a long way to a bright future and is still on the way to be better.Compared with governments of other countrys in the near twenty years,what the Chinese government has done is good enough.Whether the Chinese government will continue doing a good job in the future is unknown.Lets watch for the next decade.\nDisregarding the semantics about democracy, freedom of speech, rules of law, etc, etc, there\u2019s one fundamental difference between Chinese government and the more \u2018enlightened\u2019 western democratic government, and this difference is what makes the Chinese government \u2018bad\u2019.The Chinese government can make an individual utterly and completely powerless.Imagine you are a disgruntled individual that was wronged by the government/institutions, and you are out to seek justice. You will find the mission near impossible in China. The various governmental bodies ensure individual odd-balls of the society are isolated, silenced and forgotten. This has been so for thousands of years across hundreds of dynasties. This is the price the ruling class of China has to and willing to pay, because the Chinese ruling class values stability and harmony above all else, and the Chinese culture is all about collectivism vs. individualism.When you are a law-abiding citizen working along side the government, you will find all your needs met, grievances addressed and opinions heard. But as soon as you veer off from this path, you will find yourself enclosed, trapped, muted and forgotten.Now in comparison, if you were a wronged individual in a more \u2018enlightened\u2019 western democratic society, you can always find ways to be heard, and there\u2019s always someone willing to listen. There\u2019s plenty state and private watchdogs, ombudsmen, overseers to voice your disagreement to and plenty of lawyers you can employ. If all else fails, there\u2019s privately owned media you can go to as well.In other words, it is a terrible terrible business to be the odd one out in China, not so much in a western democratic country.There\u2019s a reason why overwhelming number of Chinese Quorans are in praise of Chinese government, it\u2019s because those are the ones being fulfilled, they are content and they are what the government is working for and working with.Majority of Chinese willingly choose to forgo the assurance that one day they might fall short of the government\u2019s good graces and get stuck in the rut, because they want tangible benefits here and now. Whereas for an average westerner, he/she is NOT willing to forgo that assurance because who knows one day they might need it.In a twisted way, Chinese government is probably the most democratic of them all, because it gives what most people want, not what the few needs.\nWhy is suppression of \u2018Free speech\u2019 by the Chinese government so acceptable to the Chinese people?Opinions about CCP in Quora seem to suggest that Chinese people are quite content with CCP. Now, I am not arguing for democracy or against the Chinese system, but I cannot understand how can anyone find being disallowed the right to express opinion or protest against politicians acceptable?The best defense for Free Speech in China is to Always Speak the Truth. If you are insulted by the Chinese government, publicize it on the web and you\u2019ll get every citizen behind you.But the Chinese are not OK to be lied to. Not by the Chinese Government, not by other Chinese people, not by any foreign Government or foreigners. And not by you. You may call that \u2018Free Speech\u2019. The Chinese call it lies, and demand their government to shut you up.The Chinese are also not OK to be grossly insulted.In 2008, China suffered a magnitude 7.9 earthquake in her western mountainous region. Close to 90,000 people died. Mothers desperately tried to shield their children with their own bodies, and died entombed together. The mother was still tenderly holding her child.Sharon Stone, dressed in all her sparkles and finery, stood on the red carpet of Cannes, called it \u2018karma\u2019. China angry over Sharon Stone quake karma remarkHundreds of millions of Chinese demanded the Chinese government to ban her films and any merchandise associated with her. If this is what \u2018Free Speech\u2019 means, the Chinese don\u2019t want it.You want to know why the Chinese not only support the Chinese government\u2019s censorship, but demand it? Because it\u2019s so obvious, OBVIOUS, that the likes of Sharon Stone are not on their side. You have someone literally laughing when 90,000 Chinese died in an earthquake, and then coming up with crocodile tears about \u2018oh we have to fight for the poor Chinese who don\u2019t have free speech\u2019. The Chinese government, on the other hand, quickly mobilized 130,000 soldiers and other relief workers to attempt rescue, of which, around 200 rescuers died from ensuing aftershocks and mudslides. They gave their lives for the Chinese people.Sichuan earthquake of 2008 | ChinaWhen you call hate speech \u2018free speech\u2019, you make people hate free speech.PS: This is not an isolated event. This kind of sh*t happens continuously, and not just towards Chinese, but a continuous stream of random insult to almost any foreign country. Even the Swedes, the mellowest of all, are threatening to \u201cgo full fascist on them Yanks and ban them all\u201d. King of Sweden stresses need for \u2018serious\u2019 media and source checking after Donald Trump\u2019s immigration claims\nChinese people aren\'t OK with the censorship. People make fun of the \u201ckeyword\u201d censorship all the time, mocking the key words with stupid alternatives. People comment on how their social media posts were removed. If someone spoke up against the government and was threatened, people will show support by reposting screenshots of their deleted words (which are harder to regulate).Just because people don\'t give up their life and throw themselves into some bloody resistance movement, doesn\'t mean they accept bad government policies.But western media doesn\'t report this. Chinese people making fun of their government doesn\'t make nearly as appealing a click-bait headline as \u201cChinese people intentionally kill car accident victims\u201d.Think of it in this way: you have a life, you have a family, you have a future. And the government removes a post from your Facebook. Would you throw away everything you have to fight against the government? Even if you want to, how are you going to go about doing it? Where will you find this \u201cunderground rebel force"? Is it worth it? To give up your life, family and future, a stable job and relatively pleasant life because of one removed Facebook comment?If you won\u2019t do it, why do you think Chinese people should do it? Because of some idealistic bullshit idea that the Chinese government is evil and there should be a bloody revolution? Why don\'t Chinese stand up against oppression? Why don\'t Russians stand up against oppression? Why don\'t other people stand up against oppression because you think standing up against oppression is romantic?You don\'t know about China. Most westerners don\'t, and most westerners have this rosy idea about what revolution is\u2026 hence questions like this.\nWhy do educated Chinese support the CCP?Because actual educated Chinese know that the CCP was single handedly responsible for turning a dirt poor backwater nation into a mighty economic superpower lifting 600 Million people out of poverty within a span of 3 decades. Without the CCP, China would have been a weak, fragmented nation.These educated people also know that the West\u2019s criticism of China\u2019s human rights some part cultural imperialism and some part a ploy to weaken and destabilize China. A weak fragmented China unable to challenge Western value hegemony, is ultimately in the West\u2019s interests.The second part of your question asserts that the Chinese cannot criticize their politicians. That is a flagarant lie. Fact of the matter is, Chinese do vehemently complain about corruption and criticize policies. The only time the CCP forbids speech is when it may lead to instigation to riot, protest and destabilize any part of the nation. \u201cDemocracy, human rights\u201d should never be a cover for destabilizing a nation, fragmenting it and making it poor.\nWhy do educated Chinese support CCP despite not having the freedom to criticize Chinese politicians?On August 28th, 2016, I received the following text message from the Chinese Government:\u515a\u548c\u653f\u5e9c\u5e84\u4e25\u627f\u8bfa\uff1a\u4e0d\u8ba9\u4e00\u4e2a\u5b66\u751f\u56e0\u5bb6\u5ead\u7ecf\u6d4e\u56f0\u96be\u800c\u5931\u5b66\uff01\u4ece\u5b66\u524d\u513f\u7ae5\u5230\u7814\u7a76\u751f\uff0c\u90fd\u80fd\u4eab\u53d7\u56fd\u5bb6\u8d44\u52a9\u653f\u7b56\u3002\u8be6\u60c5\u67e5\u8be2\u5168\u56fd\u5b66\u751f\u8d44\u52a9\u7ba1\u7406\u4e2d\u5fc3\u7f51\u7ad9\u3002\u3010\u6559\u80b2\u90e8\u5ba3\u3001\u5de5\u4fe1\u90e8\u3001\u4e2d\u56fd\u79fb\u52a8\u3011The Party and the Government solemnly promise: we will not allow a single student to drop out of school because of economic reasons. From preschool to graduate school, everyone can enjoy state funds to pay for his/her education. For more details, visit National Student Financial Aids Administration website [message by Department of Education, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China Mobile]The CPC is promising to give education to everyone who wants it. If they pull this off, we are talking about personal empowerment through education at every level of the society. The day that everyone in China who want a decent education can get one, I will convert to the CPC\'s biggest fan ever.Of course, there is always a catch to any rosy promises made by politicians. I actually tried to visit the website to take a look, but the website is an epic fail. It couldn\u2019t handle all the traffic going to the site. So, a poor student can\'t really visit the site for more information.A few months later, I had a conversation about this text message with a friend who works for PwC US in China. He studied Computer Science at Tongji University, one of China\'s best, and he came from a humble background. He was on state money all his way through college. It paid for his tuition, but he had to eat, and that\'s not part of the no-one-drops-out deal. Luckily, university canteens are heavily subsidized by the Chinese Government. My friend was able to support himself working part-time in the summer loading bricks at a Shanghai construction site.So, I wondered, if the website for state funds doesn\'t work, how the heck did he receive his money for tuition. It turns out, the Chinese Government relies on schools, and local government officials to nominate state fund recipients. Given low technology literacy across China, I guess having a functioning website wouldn\'t make much a difference, but it still would be nice to have a place for information online.I can\'t speak for 1.4 billion of my fellow Chinese compatriots, but I am not as antiestablishment as I used to be because I think China is heading toward the right direction, and marginal improvements to the system are what we need, certainly not that democratic revolution crap.On a side note, it bugs me that we have a GFW, but hey I know a thing or two about Linux command line. The CPC can\u2019t stop me from using Shadowsocks to watch Marcus Butler doing an American accent on YouTube.I hope my reflection on the topic sort of answers your question.\nOn one hand, the question itself is unwarranted, Chinese people do have the freedom to criticize the government which is already explained in other comments.One the other hand, even though Chinese people don\u2019t have this so-called free speech, why can\u2019t they still support the government any way? What I want to say is the FREE SPEECH is just not that important, nobody is living on criticizing the government, people enjoy their own lives and who cares that much about what the hell the government is doing. Chinese people see that their lives are getting better and better, the funtamental constrution is doing well, they recieve better education and become richer day by day. These are the things people really care about.And in fact, in many parts of the western world, the free speech is superficial, is fake and useless. Ok, you can say whatever you want, but you are a fool and never count on that I will listen to you. In this sense, the free speech is like satisfaction to yourself.And, there is no real free speech in western world if you criticize people of different color of skin, different religous belives, and what if there are really some big problems in them? You can\u2019t even say that out and never mention even solve them.What does the free speech really mean to you?And if this comment is deleted some time later, it will be a solid evidence that the western free speech is so lame.\nWe as human beings are generally drawn to things that are different from us. I think China is one of the countries least touched by the wave of globalization. They still have thousands of years of traditions that they hold onto so very dearly.The Food \u2013 The Chinese does everything differently. Their foods usually lack spice (which is taken separately if needed most of the time) in order to retain the flavor of the actual meat. But having said that I have had beef that was spicier than a Colombian dish. The variations of Chinese food are endless. Don\u2019t be misled by the Chinese Restaurants in your country because that is definitely no match for what you will get in Mainland China.The People \u2013 The Chinese are known for their hard-work, efficiency and productivity. But that\u2019s just the tip of the iceberg. They are the nicest and most helpful people I have seen in all my travel destinations. I was once on my way to meet someone I worked with in China and my transit got delayed by two hours. She closed the shop because I was too late, but stayed back for me to come by. Much to my surprise, I found her standing on the side of the road near the office waiting patiently. It took a long time to get through everything I needed to discuss with her. And alas, it was 1:30 in the morning when we finished up. That wasn\u2019t the end. She invited me to have dinner with her and we all sat down, talking about how different China is from the rest of the world. With the transit back to her place and everything she would have gotten roughly an hour or two of sleep before work the next day. I don\u2019t know how many qualities I have just talked about but all of them remarkably exceptional.The Places \u2013 Chinese Architecture is something different to what you will see in most places. Usually in the non-business centers of China. Henan Province comes to mind. The amount of ancient architecture that you will see there at any given point in time is mind boggling. China is also home to thousands of museums, each of them consisting of significant counterparts that make up for the entire lifeline of China.Diversity \u2013 I was once like most people who have never been to China. I thought that everything in China is interchangeable. But I was amazed by how much diversity I got from one city to the next. It was quite baffling how the lifestyle and the aesthetics change. In comparison the only place I could think of right now is Turkey.But all in all you just have to get there and see for yourself. I can write more, but it would not do justice to how beautiful China truly is. I hope everyone sees it that way.Passion Project - Planetgraphy | Facebook (Just for Travel Inspiration)\nThey are many reasons foreigners move to China. Many for its rich exotic ancient culture, many for its eccentric diversity among the country. Hospitality, tremendous amount of opportunities and the list can continue. But I will share my fair share.Population - China is 1.357 Billion yet it manages to keep its stability among its citizens. That\u2019s a pure work of Art. It feeds its people, it promotes education, it invests in its people\u2019s future and I think the government here is doing a fantastic job of keeping the country together.Fastest growing economy - The country was illiterate, poor and backward compared to the rest of the world up until a few decades ago, but that changed and it\'s changing so fast. It\u2019s simply fascinating.Moral values - China is a collective culture, where family values, community, and everyone matters. They work hard for ultimate one goal to make the country better for the future generation. I have never seen such people so passionate and devoted to their country in the 21st century. The Chinese traditional cultural values of harmony, benevolence, righteousness,courtesy, wisdom, honesty, and loyalty.Life experience - My everyday work is a life lesson, a challenge, a new experience and a new beginning. People appreciate my hard work here as a foreigner. They do not take my work for granted and they actually appreciate for what I do for them.Entertainment - China offers the unlimitted amount of entertainment, leisure and numerous different activities for having fun. The nightclubs here are giants stadiums with IMAX 3D screen, they have things like escape rooms, unbelievable theme parks, outdoor natural parks and much more.Affordable high-quality life - If you\u2019re professional expat, life in China can be rewarding. The economy is booming and they are a lot of opportunities available. There\u2019s a high demand for educated professionals who are willing to step out of their comfort zone.People - Unconditional kindness, integration of the locals with foreigners, tolerance and acceptance and cheap travel within the country and Asia with high-speed train or affordable airfare are all many reasons why expats choose to live here.\\If you\u2019re serious about your career and would like to make an impact in the world. I believe China is a great destination. I am learning so many new things here, basically, you have the freedom in China to innovate, be articulate and design new ways of doing things.I love China \u6211\u7231\u4e2d\u56fd\nI have an answer for this that some you find ironic:The Freedom they Experience in ChinaOf course, life as an American (or European, etc) expat in China is different from the lives of native Chinese people in many ways.The life of a foreigner in China may feel more \u201cfree\u201d due to the fact that expats don\u2019t have family responsibilities here. A Chinese student in the USA may feel freedoms in North America that aren\u2019t possible in China.I am a Mandarin Chinese teacher of both children and adults and many of my students are moving to China from the USA. Many of them mention that they feel more \u201cfreedom\u201d in China than they do in the USA, despite their worries that it would be the opposite.The three freedoms that I most often hear about from foreigners in China are:Having the \u201cfreedom\u201d to not own a car and to be able to get around on public transport. I have lived and traveled in the USA and I know that, while a car is meant to provide personal \u201cfreedoms\u201d, we are often limited by our cars: stuck in traffic, financial burden, and cities in which walking or taking the train is not an option.Shanghai\u2019s subways was began just 20 years ago and it\u2019s already the largest in the world:The \u201cfreedom\u201d of walking anywhere at any hour and not fearing for your safety. Aside from some crime such as pickpocketing, violent crime in China is minimal and especially not aimed at foreigners.Chinese cities are walkable and worry-free 24/7:The \u201cfreedom\u201d of buying alcohol at any hour and to drink it on the street. This is something that Americans enjoy more than Chinese! In the USA there are many rules with alcohol and cigarettes- when/where you can buy and use them. In China, you can have an informal BBQ with beer out on the sidewalk without worry! While most of my students don\u2019t smoke, the few that do seem to greatly enjoy doing it indoors at bars and restaurants.In Qingdao, you can buy \u201cstreet beer\u201d to go by weight in a plastic bag:For Chinese people, many of us want cars, don\u2019t appreciate how safe the streets are, and would never think of drinking beer in public if not at a restaurant. However, these three points are quite refreshing if you\u2019re coming from North America!Many of my foreign students feel that when they go back home, there are more small laws and responsibilities that don\u2019t apply to their lives when they were here in China.Ironic, isn\u2019t it?\nI\'ve lived for substantial time in 3 Asian cities (Singapore, Hong Kong, and Shenzhen), and they all surprised me on the upside. In the case of China, here\'s why I like it:it\'s modern, and continues to develop all the time. They have modern cities, excellent transport infrastructure (highways, airports, high-speed trains network which is unmatched in the world, excellent public transport and taxis), excellent hotels, malls, restaurants and cafes, beautiful parks, etc.There\u2019s a feeling of safety and freedom in Chinese cities, which impress with their size. There\u2019s no one to tell you what to do, and you can see from the behavior of the diverse crowd, people just do what they want. In most places you won\'t see any police. In some others they are present in security posts. They just do their job, i.e. sit there silently and behave reasonably, adding to the security and order. Do you know that police in China doesn\'t have firearms? They are just like a part of the crowd, only doing their job.friendliness of Chinese people. You will always get help, no matter that you can\'t speak a word in Chinese besides \u4f60\u597d, or they can\'t speak English. They\'ll spend their time and go out of their way to explain you how to get somewhere, or how to buy a train ticket, they\'ll patiently and enthusiastically explain how to get what you need. They\'ll be positive and practical all the time while helping you.they are non-dogmatic. The people are simply pragmatic and hardworking, they want to live good lives, and feel responsible for their well-being. They are not brainwashed (something which is actually more typical to Western countries, and you can see it on Quora too). The main philosophy of China is just common sense and being a good person.business is in the genes of Chinese. Small shops and restaurants are ubiquitous, which makes me think self employment and small business must be a major kind of employment. The government creates excellent business infrastructure. For example, the hi tech city area in Shenzhen is very impressive and has lots of spaces to support innovations and startups. China hosts some of world\u2019s biggest trade shows and exhibitions. It\u2019s easy to see trends in the world economy here.they are connected and communal. It\u2019s easy to talk with people and make friends, especially if you are open and respectful.technologically, China is of course advanced in many ways. For example, electric transport has been very developed here for years. You can find electric bikes, personal transportation vehicles (like kick scooters or mono wheels), electric taxis and cars, even electric buses (the photo below is a bus charging station).some things are convenient. The Chinese messenger app (WeChat) is very advanced and makes it easy to make payments and much more; it\u2019s a technology marvel. For example, in some cafes you can scan QR code on your table, which brings up the menu on your phone; you can make an order and it will be sent to your table. You can pay with your mobile phone almost everywhere, you don\u2019t need cash or credit card. It\u2019s fine to leave your wallet at home if you have a phone with you.still kept (and in some cases even exaggerated) some of its sweet traditions. Well, their language itself is ancient to begin with. In the very developed Chinese cities you\'ll see many people still trying to live simple ways. Outdoor tai chi, dragon boat festivals, traditional medicine, etc., add charm to the urban culture.it\u2019s vast and intellectually stimulating. It\u2019s very geographically diverse, has rich history, and Chinese are passionate about learning and self development, they\u2019re smart and focused. I love book shops here and book cafes; Shenzhen\u2019s central book store claims to be the largest in the world.To give a more balanced answer, I\'ll mention a few negatives. They are not big, but are a part of life, too:air pollution in some cities and regions. People are used to it. Most of the time it\u2019s not terribly bad, and unfortunately air is more or less polluted in most (if not all) cities of the world. I take break from cities and travel once in a while to other countries or areas in China (such as Yunnan, Hainan) where the air is clean.internet problems. Although the networks are fast, but due to traffic monitoring some sites are blocked (Google, popular social networks, and some news sites) or work slowly. This Internet control has not only political purpose, but it\'s good for the development of Chinese Internet companies.you shouldn\'t be lazy and start learning the language and culture. It is very worthy. Although you always get help and generally friendly attitude, you need to do your part and learn at least the basics of Mandarin. Unlike in HK, in the mainland little effort is made to translate anything into English (beyond road signs and metro announcements). It pays a lot to know at least common phrases and basics of characters writing (\u6c49\u5b57). It is a lot of fun actually.Overall, China is fast pace, generally efficient, straightforward, but you need to get used to it and learn ways of doing things. They may be not what you are used to coming from another country.\nBecause, as Westerners, China is the macaroni to our cheese. The yin to our yang if you will.In the West, we tend to emphasize freedom, individualism, the state being the collective wills of the several individuals under it and nothing more. Big collective pushes for \u2018the Greater Good\u2019 take the back seat unless it\u2019s really necessary.In China, they tend to emphasize stability, collectivism, the state being a parental body that knows what is good for you even if your short-sightedness tells you otherwise. Individual rights take the back seat unless the lack thereof start to threaten stability.While we keep fighting about which extreme of the continuum is better, in reality they are two halves of a whole.Westerners travel to China and marvel at the speed and practicality with which Chinese can build massive, ultra-modern cities (regardless whether a centuries-old temple was demolished to build it or not)Chinese travel to Europe and marvel at the protected buildings of historical/heritage value preserved perfectly (tough luck if you want to build a highway that will boost economic growth, try building around Ye Olde Tavern).Westerners travel to China and marvel at the safety and efficiency among the Chinese people as the economy powers forth and people\u2019s standard of living increases without any major glitches.Chinese travel to the West and marvel at the creativity and innovation in Western society as with its decentralized, individualistic space for people to do things differentlyI love Western culture with its Socratic approach to problems and Enlightenment values deeply as much as I love Chinese culture with its Confucian values and strong history of science, progress and love of knowledge.The reason why I think China is great is because it clearly demonstrates the strengths of an alternative to Western statecraft - just as much as the West clearly demonstrates the strengths of an alternative to Chinese statecraft. This is how we and China can both reexamine our own established political \u2018operating systems\u2019 and improve them where we can.\nI\'ll provide empirical evidence as to why it is important by firstly answering with another question.Why do Jews and the West care still about the Holocaust?More people died during the Nanking massacre than did during the two A-bombs in Japan, yet the A-bombs are much more covered in Japanese history, repeatedly, than the Nanking massacre by far (or all other Japanese war atrocities for that matter).The reason being? China and Japan are in disagreement of the severity of the atrocities as well as the number of dead (mostly since few records remain from the Japanese side largely due to the Japanese burning all evidence during the end of the war). Yet westerners that were there are the biggest sources of the atrocities.*I\u2019ll update with more information time to time*** I did a bit more digging into how the Japanese administration goes on sidelining the issue and learned the method is both simple and well thought out. They simply shift the blame when one party to the issue is asked about it and what we get in return is a triangle of denial. When the government is asked, they blame the teachers; when the teachers are asked, they blame the Education Ministry; when the Education Ministry is asked, they blame the central government. This way, people don\'t really know what\'s really going on and who\'s lying or not because they\'ll believe whomever they trust most.***EDIT*(Japanese \u2018loss\u2019 of information on the matter has much to do with the US investigation of Japan\'s biological warfare department and subsequent cover up of the matter due to the American interest in the data and the higher ups wanting to keep the data away from the Soviets. Initially, the US Bio warfare corps sent legal experts to investigate war crimes but was stopped by scientists of the same division, though many who initially investigated were misled by Japanese translators who were actually former members of Unit 731, and it was in later inquiries that the Joint Chiefs of staff, notably General MacArthur, decided that the info provided by the Japanese scientists were valuable for the US and decided in a conference with other US department heads to withhold the information in top secret intelligence channels and not submit them to War Crimes programs.Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc...The reason why this info is relavent to the matter is simply that during investigations for Unit 731\u2019s crimes, the Allies had no whitnesses who could testify, since documents were kept hidden or destroyed, compared to the Nuremberg trials where there were many witnesses who could testify. This is due to the fact that the Japanese military scientists left no survivors who could testify in part for Chinese lives lost. The only few relavent prosecutions that were carried out were only based on American POW accounts that Americans were tested on. Aside from that, it seems the lives of non-Americans didn\'t matter as much to the administration. In the case of Nanjing, if the Americans authorities pushed further on the matter then proper justice would have prevailed but they didn\'t, unlike in Europe. This is also a great source on the matter:https://www.archives.gov/files/i...There was ample evidence to prosecute but most came out to the public after the trials ended.*Unlike in Europe where one central repository of information and prosecutions took place, War crimes trials against the Japanese were conducted by America, the USSR, Republic of China, People\u2019s Republic of China (after 1949), the Filipinos, the British, the Dutch, the French, and even the Portuguese (they had Chinese possessions, mainly Macau, and other colonies in the region) and Australians (Mostly having to do with those capture by the Australian and New Zealand armies) independently of each other. Thus, the American government saw no need to have a single repository of Japanese war crimes due to soviet involvement and didn\'t pursue them aggressively since they saw Japan as a gift of sorts to use as a buffer against Communism in the Far East. Though, it was America that had captured the wartime administration who were the most heinous criminals, yet they were let go due to \u2018lack\u2019 of evidence and the need for a strong Japan. Both the ROC and PRC tried Japanese War criminals in the hundreds. The soviets, however, did capture 6 members of Unit 731 when they entered Manchuria and put them on trial and later handed over hundreds of other Japanese war criminals to the PRC in 1949 for prosecution, but America brushed them off as being \u201cpropoganda\u201d most of the time, even if they were legitimate prosecutions.\u201cAlthough many notorious war criminals went unpunished and lived prosperous and prestigious lives, it is important to recognize that thousands of Japanese war crimes were prosecuted. Twenty-eight Class A war criminals accused of crimes against peace, conventional war crimes, and crimes against humanity included many of Japan\u2019s wartime leaders, such as Prime Minister Gen. To\u0304jo\u0304 Hideki. The Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal, the counterpart of Nuremberg, began in May 1946 and ended in November 1948 with the conviction of twenty-five of these defendants. Seven, including To\u0304jo\u0304, were hanged, sixteen were sentenced to life imprisonment (of whom four died in prison), and two received lesser terms. Of the three remaining, two died during the proceedings, and one was declared unfit for trial. The Japanese government paroled all those imprisoned by 1956 and the Foreign Ministry released them unconditionally in April 1958. Allied nations also held war crimes trials throughout Asia and the Pacific. Americans, British, Australians, Dutch, French, Filipinos, and Chinese held trials at forty-nine locations between October 1945 and April 1956. The British prosecuted numerous Japanese for war crimes in Southeast Asia, including those involved in the construction of the Thai- Burma railway of death, immortalized as the Bridge over the River Kwai. Australian prosecutors worked in conjunction with British and American courts to bring Japanese to justice and tried large numbers of Japanese at Amboina, Dutch East Indies, and at Rabaul, New Britain. China tried at least 800 defendants, including some involved in the Nanjing massacre. France and the Netherlands tried several hundred more. The French brought to justice a Japanese civilian on Java who forced dozens of women into prostitution for the military authorities, and the Dutch condemned Japanese to death for the murder of indigenous people and Dutch prisoners. In late 1949 at Khabarovsk, the Soviet Union also put twelve Japanese on trial for biological warfare crimes\u2014six were members of Unit 731, two of Unit 100, an independent biological warfare entity, and four from elsewhere\u2014and later transferred several hundred Japanese ex-servicemen suspected of war crimes to the People\u2019s Republic of China, where Chinese authorities judged them in the mid-1950s. Of 5,379 Japanese, 173 Taiwanese, and 148 Koreans tried as class B and C war criminals for conventional crimes, violations of the laws of war, rape, murder, maltreatment of prisoners of war, about 4,300 were convicted, almost 1,000 sentenced to death, and hundreds given life imprisonment.\u201d\u201cThe total number of Chinese deaths in Nanjing remains a subject of dispute. While the Chinese government and historians insist that some 300,000 Chinese were massacred by the Japanese in and around Nanjing\u2014a figure from the postwar trials in Nanjing\u2014 Japanese historians have offered different estimates ranging from thousands to over 100,000. Significantly, newly discovered Japanese documents, which include the diaries of several key commanders as well as official war journals from one-third of all the Japanese regiments involved in that battle, indicate that at least tens of thousands of disarmed Chinese soldiers were executed by Japanese troops at the order of their commanders. As a result, in the mid-1980s, a representative of the veteran group Kaiko\u0304sha offered an apology to the Chinese people on its behalf.In addition to the Rape of Nanking, the \u201c three All\u201d Campaign\u2014for \u201cKill all, burn all, loot all,\u201d the Chinese description of the Japanese Army\u2019s tactics in attacking Communist guerrilla forces in north China\u2014has long been central in Communist China\u2019s history of the war against Japan. Many earlier studies relied solely on the testimonies of Chinese victims and survivors. Only recently have historians in Japan begun to systematically study anti-guerrilla operations in north China, including such practices as creating a \u201cno- man\u2019s land\u201d by corroborating Japanese sources with Chinese evidence. The Japanese use of biological and chemical weapons (to be discussed later) and the bombing of China\u2019s wartime capital Chongqing have become an issue for Chinese historians and activists.\u201d(https://www.archives.gov/files/i...)This one paragraph captures why it\'s important to pressure the Japanese government to be held fully accountable for war crimes:\u201cWhen confronted by advocacy and human rights groups, the Japanese government insisted these issues had been settled by stipulations of the peace treaty signed in San Francisco in September 1951. Nothing more needed to be said on the matter. Not only did Japanese authorities refuse to acknowledge any wartime responsibility, but several conservative politicians and senior bureaucrats went so far as to publicly denounce the accusations as groundless historical revisionism and Japan bashing. There was, of course, a domestic political dimension to the accusations (no candidate from the conservative ruling party, the LDP, could win an election by blaming Japan for a war of aggression), but the hard- line offcial Japanese position created the impression in the United States that Japanese war crimes and related subjects such as war guilt or the role of Emperor Hirohito in the war were taboo subjects in Japan.\u201d)Witness to War: \'War orphan\' recounts feeling of abandonment (This article is about a Japanese citizen who was relocated to Manchukuo close to the end of the war and her story of how the Japanese government abandoned them in China with no way home and even those who did make it back to Japan received very little help from the Japanese government to compensate for the brainwashing and horrors of war they experienced. And these are Japanese being treated bad by their own government, so it\'s no surprise that the Japanese government and military would treat Chinese and other Asians as being beneath them.)Japanese War Orphans and the Challenges of Repatriation in Post-Colonial East Asia (This one talks about the story of Japanese \u201corphans\u201d who were left behind by the Japanese government in Manchuria and their story and hardships. It\'s important to understand that horrible things happened in the war and the Japanese government didn\'t care for Japanese lives outside Japan proper either)The other factor is that Japan has issued statements on \u201cGreat remorse\u201d and \u2018apologies\u2019 which people feel aren\'t sincere enough, which is also due to the fact that on several occasions the Japanese Ministry of Education has tried to sugarcoat history books and tell publishers to not depict \u201cdark history\u201d of Japan or to change entire sentences, such as the Japanese aggression in China to the Japanese advance into China.Source:Examining the Japanese History Textbook ControversiesIn fact, many people are unaware that the 89\u2032 Tiananmen Square student protest was actually the second of such protests.The one prior to it in 85\u2032 was also a student protest to then Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro\u2019s visit to the Yasukuni Shrine (Japanese War Memorial) as well as a textbook controversy back then too.This is interesting read:https://digitalarchive.wm.edu/bi...Nanjing Massacre - Facts & Summary - HISTORY.comThe Nanjing Massacre: Scenes from a Hideous Slaughter 75 Years Ago | TIME.com (Not for the squirmish)THE RAPE OF NANKING (1937) OR NANJING MASSACRE(This article by an Australian source talks about how the Nanjing Massacre is the most well documented atrocity due to the presence of Westerners who documented the slaughters)And for those with access to google and YouTube, a simple search for \u201c nanking massacre\u201d or \u201cNanjing massacre\u201d or even \u201cRape of Nanking\u201d will provide you with more than enough videos recorded by westerners who were in Nanjing, including the most notable one by US missionary in Nanjing, John Magee.Edit: I find it relevant to add a little information about the war in the Pacific front from the perspective of China with historical information, since the most over spoken accounts are almost all American when it comes to the Pacific theater in the Western historical minds.Here are some historical info on the Chinese part of the war that is being \u2018rediscovered\u2019 by the West:The \'Chinese Schindler\' who saved thousands of JewsForgotten ally? China\'s unsung role in World War IIMassacres and Atrocities of WWII in the Pacific Region(This talks about the various crimes of the Japanese during the onset of the war in 1931 when Japan invaded Manchuria)Imperial Japan - history-of-ww2(This link is importnant in that it shows how Japan\'s expansion and war was more prominently controlled by its military under Tojo than the Emperor or the central government, both of which were fairly weak during the time due an internal war between Japanese liberals and ultra-conservatives - the ultra-conservatists (ultra-nationalists) won. Japan was ruled by the military, meaning the massacres were systematic because they were ordered by the military)Here is a quote from the article that talks about how the military came to power:\u201cBetween 1928 and 1932, Japan faced domestic crisis. Economic collapse associated with the Great Depression provoked spiralling prices, unemployment, falling exports and social unrest. In November 1930, the Prime Minister Hamaguchi Osachi was shot by an ultra-nationalist. In summer 1931, as control slipped away from the civilian government, the army acted independently to invade Manchuria. Troops quickly conquered the entire border region, establishing the puppet state of Manchukuo. Though the League of Nations condemned the action, it was powerless to intervene, and Japan promptly withdrew its membership. International isolation fed ultra-nationalism. Mayors, teachers and Shinto priests were recruited by ultra-nationalist movements to indoctrinate citizens.In May 1932, an attempt by army officers to assassinate Hamaguchi\u2019s successor stopped short of becoming a full-blown coup, but ended rule by political parties. Between 1932 and 1936, admirals ruled Japan. Within government, the idea of the \u2018Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere\u2019 emerged. This plan called for Asian unification against western imperialism under Japanese leadership, leading to Asian self-sufficiency and prosperity. In reality, it meant an agenda of Japanese imperial domination in the Far East.\u201d** I wanted to add a bit more, since the quote talks about the puppet state of Manchukuo. This is where the infamous Unit 731 (the Imperial Army\u2019s Biological warfare unit) was based.They did many heinous experiments on Chinese (all of whom they regarded as \u201clogs\u201d) which was later covered up by the American government when the war ended and the US needed a strong Japan to counter Communist China.(And yes, many of the people who did these heinous experiments are prominent doctors in their fields now)Here are some sources on it:A New Look at Japan\u2019s Wartime Atrocities and a U.S. Cover-UpUnmasking Horror -- A special report.; Japan Confronting Gruesome War Atrocity (from 1995)Human bones could reveal truth of Japan\'s \'Unit 731\' experimentsQ. and A.: Gao Yubao on Documenting Unit 731\u2019s Brutal Human Experiments70 years on, Unit 731\'s wartime atrocities fester in China\'s memory | The Japan TimesThis matter also concerns American POW\u2019s who were also experimented on and appalled by the fact that their own government covered up the crimes and let Japan off the hook.Japan revisits its darkest moments where American POWs became human experimentsNew Kyushu museum breaks taboo with POW vivisection display | The Japan TimesJapanese veteran admits vivisection tests on PoWsTruth Emerging on Ailing POWs, Japan Germ Unit**EDIT: PART 2**So I currently live with two Japanese exchange students from Osaka and Oita areas and when I asked them about such things their reply was \u201cwtf?! Is this for real??? We never learned about this! How can the government just cover this up?\u201dThey genuinely didn\'t know about the wrong doings of the military during the war or that their government was hiding it behind smoke and mirrors. They also said that it was a total shock for them when they first learned about it in history classes here and that they didn\'t cover such things in detail at all in their history classes in Japan. They also said their teachers just said that something bad happened in Nanjing and made no mentions of other things.\nGermany Chancellor Willy Brandt\u2019s famous Warschauer Kniefall to apologise for Holocaust.Former Japanese Prime Minister Junichir\u014d Koizumi\u2019s dressed up to visit Yasukuni Shrine to mourn convicted war criminals.The current Japanese Prime Minister Shinz\u014d Abe.We can forgive but we will never forget. But Japanese government won\u2019t let us.It\u2019s 300,000 lives, you are asking why we still care.

And the activities of Japanese military in Nanking were in accordance with international law and were humane! Some even published a book arguing that the Tokyo Tribunal was \u201cvictor\'s justice\u201d only 2,000 deaths for the entirety of the massacre!SHAMELESS!!But IT\u2019S ALRIGHT NOW, Chinese WILL NOT care about the Nanjing massacre anymore~Back in 2015, the United Nation Education, Science and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has officially added China\'s Nanjing Massacre Documents in its Memory of the World Register.WOOO~HOO~ Case Closed\nThis question is not directed at me by virtue of me not being Chinese (I am Vietnamese). Also, none of my family relatives experienced neither oppression nor brutality the Japanese demonstrated so conspicuously in WW2.But I DO CARE about the Nanking massacre. It was in my first quarter of college in America. I had attained a sufficient level of English proficiency to start reading books written in English. I stumbled upon this book in a Barnes and Nobles store:The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II: Iris Chang: 8601300280783: Amazon.com: BooksThe content of book, in particular the graphic depiction of the murder, rape committed by the Japanese during 6 weeks of butchery at Nanking, engendered in me the deepest shock and anger. What provoked in me so much hatred was not only the number of victims murdered but also the manner in which the Japanese murdered them.Here are some examples of the acts of extreme barbarism perpetrated by the Japanese during the massacre:1/ Gang raped and impaling the vaginas of Chinese women and girls with sharp objects such as bamboo sticks, golf clubs, beer bottles, or sometimes even firecrackers.2/ Age did not shield female civilians from rapes. The Japanese could rightfully be regarded as the worst child rapists in the entirety of ww2 when they violated girls as young as 8\u201310 years old. They even violated the elderly above 80 years of age, nuns, university professors. Especially gruesome was the treatment inflicted on young girls. Because of their not-yet-mature bodies, the Japanese used knives to slice open their genitals to facilitate the rapes. According to eye witnesses, \u201cthe blood-stained, swollen and ruptured area between the girls\u2019 legs created a disgusting scene difficult for anyone to look at directly\u201d.3/ Live burial of thousands of people.4/ Burying people to waist-level in the ground and let German shepherds tear them apart.5/ Nailed women to the walls and brutalized or violated them6/ Suspended people by the tongues on the meat hooks and bayoneted them to death7/ Degraded entire families by forcing fathers to rape their daughters, brothers to rape their sisters, sons to rape their mothers. Anyone who defied would immediately be murdered.8/ Engaged in recreational beheading contest to break the monotony of murder (Contest to kill 100 people using a sword - Wikipedia)9/ Sliced open the abdomen of pregnant women and ripped out the unborn fetuses for amusement.And numerous more horrendous acts of sadism and brutality can be found throughout the book.After reading the book, my attitude toward the Japanese turned 180 degree. Whatever good will, respect and compassion I used to have for them died after reading the Rape of Nanking book and numerous other accounts of Japanese war crimes.What intensifies my anger and hatred toward them is the fact that they live in denial until this day. They painstakingly distort history by misrepresenting the Nanking massacre as merely Nanking incident, and insist that only a few thousands or at most tens of thousands had died compared to the Red Cross\u2019s statistics which indicated that 250000 and 300000 Chinese civilians and POWs had been murdered. In addition, they painstakingly censor details of all of their shameful atrocities, including the Nanking massacre, from history textbook so that the young generation of the Japanese will remain unaware of the atrocities. As the final insult, the Japanese continue to honor the war criminals enshrined at Yasukuni. That is no different from honoring Adolf Hitler and his henchmen in the middle of Berlin.Just like the Jews never want to forget the Holocaust, the Koreans never want to forget the humiliation under Japanese rule and the Comfort women, the Chinese can be pardoned for caring so much about an atrocity characterized by extreme brutality, sadism, and cruelty.My deepest condolence to the Chinese men, women whose lives were cruelly extinguished by the Japanese.\nBecause if you are human human, you will never forget the shock and the hit to your heart (if you have a righteous heart) when you first learned about those brutal deeds, especially when it happened to your people, your kind.What haunts you is more than such crimes as manslaughter, rape, but rather the lost of humanity to beast insanity under the cover of war, if you ever learned what had happened, not just a big volume of people were killed. It is not about the killing, it is more about how they were killed, raped, hurt, or tortured, and those victims were civilians, unarmed, without self-defense skills. Animals hunt for food, because they need to survive, it\u2019s a birthright. But a group of soldiers who were ordinary persons like you and me, killed for joy or for no reason with extremely brutal means (beyond description of any language), or could not show minimum sympathy as a human.In Chinese history, Chinese people had witnessed stories about human eating human fleshes during war, or starvation, whether ethnic invasions in Han people\u2019s land, or Chinese conquering other territories, but nothing had been so humanless as what they did , except for some individual lunatics or some brutal punishments implemented by the rulers that had existed for a reason, to punish crimes and enhance their rulings. But what they did, was a shere doing of anti-humanism.The above explains why we remember, and can also explain why Japanese keep denying those evildoings. Because they haven\u2019t found a way to explain to their younger generations why their kind could have done that. It\u2019s a normal but unacceptable response that when you can\u2019t explain, you lie or deny, in this case, to their younger generations.Just like, if someone\u2019s father is a very bad guy, in the jail, the mother might lie to her child that \u201cyour father died in an accident\u201d or \u201cyour father left us without reason\u201d, but wouldn\u2019t talk too much about it. Lack of real courage to tell the truth. A self-deception, an absolute lie. And in this case, it\u2019s not affecting only one family or one country, it has an effect internationally and even on the whole humanity.Just answer this question, there were multiple foreign powers combating in China during that time, why only Japanese were remembered as the evildoers by Chinese? Did China have one single reason to frame them?And, when you couldn\u2019t explain what happened, or you couldn\u2019t accept it, at least warn or alarm your young generation that such deeds, if they did happen, they were evil, you should never do it, because you deserve humanity.\nYes, Guizhou is one of the poorest provinces in China . We usually use these words to describe Guizhou, \u5929\u65e0\u4e09\u65e5\u6674\uff0c\u5730\u65e0\u4e09\u5c3a\u5e73\uff0c\u4eba\u65e0\u4e09\u6587\u94f6\uff0cmeans \u2018 No three days are sunny, No three foots land is flat, No three yuan people have\u2019.Guizhou province is mountainous area, and lacks infratructure, in the past decade China goverment have done lots of job to improve it.List of Highest International Bridges/Page 1 \uff0cquite a number of bridges are built in Guizhou province.This is per capita GDP ranking of Chinese provinces.Guizhou is the third from bottom.If you want to know about China, keep far away from chanels like \u2018China Uncensored\u2019 in Youtube, it\u2019s trash.\nGuess this video is talking about \u5174\u4e49 (Xingyi). If you search it in Baidu, Chinese searching engine, you will know that it\u2019s GDP in 2015 was 3.18 billion yuan (almost $467.6 million). Considering 848 thousands people in there, Xingyi\u2019s per capita GDP was 37.5 thousands yuan, lower than the average of the whole nation (54 thousands yuan) but higher than the average of Guizhou Province (29.8 thousands yuan). So I think maybe Xingyi is a more modern city in Guizhou Province.However, China is now trying their best to eliminate poverty, and poor provinces are developing quickly. I believe more and more cities in Guizhou Province will be like this. Welcome to China and visit it. :)\nGuizhou, like yunnan next door, are beautiful mountainous provinces with tons of ethnic diversity and relatively undeveloped. If you visit china, go to these places and you won\'t be disappointed. It is because they are relatively more undeveloped that makes them nice places. Farmers live more traditional lifestyles, sure it is a hard life for them and they would welcome more development, but overall they aren\'t unhappy. For tourists, this is a chance to see a more ideal china that haven\'t been yet completely transformed by development.\nSorry,the video you linked i can\'t watch because of Internet limit.In my view,every place has both lights and shadows.On one hand, it\'s poor,on the other hand,the scenery there can be very attractive.Some cities seem prosperous,there are also beggars.As a developing country,China inevitablely has some cities in extreme poverty,but eliminating poverty is on the agenda of the government,so their getting rid of poverty is on the way.Besides,China\u2019s territory is vast,its attractive sites are also countless.The picture you think unreal may be real.If you have a tour in China,you will have a better perception.\nWell, because it\u2019s a province. A province is big. So poor areas riches areas, All you can find. That\'s not propaganda, who will be that boring to make everyday video to do propagandas!\nDesmond CarolanThe question is somewhat strange to me. Most Chinese people do not see the PLA as their oppressors in any way, so they they do not need to "liberate themselves" from it.Certainly from talking to Chinese students both in London and Beijing, I can only agree with the view that Chinese people generally see the People\'s Liberation Army (PLA) in a positive light.The PLA is both admired and respected for its role in disaster relief and the fact that its soldiers are prepared to risk their lives in saving people. Several Chinese students also told me that the PLA provides a means for (mainly) young men from the poorest parts of China to escape poverty.The PLA provides them with good meals, good accommodation and clothing which they may not have had access to before joining. It moreover gives them training and skills that they can use when they leave the PLA,. Consequently, the PLA is a means of\xa0 social mobility and advancement for many people in China.In short, the Chinese People\'s Liberation Army is respected by the vast majority of the Chinese people for the work it does relieving the effects of natural disasters and the courage of its soldiers doing so. It also offers many young men from poor backgrounds opportunities that they otherwise would not have.\nBecause the PLA belongs to people.May be other country\u2019s army established only for national territory defense or military deterrence.But in China, Chinese people know what their army do for them.When the earthquake happenThis is the PLA\uff01When the flood come,This is the PLA\uff01When they leavePeople thank them\uff01What reason we have to attack them?They are our relatives.They has done too much for us\u2026\u2026\nBecause we are so poor we have no money to buy weapons, if you could provide us with following weapons we will attack the PLA with all might:Joint Strike Fighter*300 F22*200,Virginia class submarine*50,Hypersonic electromagnetic rail gun*30,F2000 assault rifle*2,000,000,DG51 Arleigh Burke class guided missile destroyer*50,XM307 automatic grenade launcher*2000,The V-22 Osprey transport aircraft*500,UGM-133 Trident-II*200,000\uff0cFord class aircraft carrier*20 .With all these and other neccessary machines and a military supply of 600 billion dollars every year, we Chinese can build a huge army to attack PLA.BTW, please lend the military bases and airports in the west Pacific and regions around China freely so we can place our men and machines.Please hand over the control of the GPS to the Chinese people so we are not blind.Let\u2019s go and destory the evil communists!\nQuestion question, are you from China yourself? If you are not then it would be hypocritical to assume that outsiders can think of things better for people that are in china itself. What I\'ve learned so far is most people like to assume that democracy and \u201cfree market\u201d is for everybody in the world. People from the outside easily judge people in other countries as unhappy with their lot. They may not allow their citizens to go out and make a fool of themselves and post it online but this does not define contentment and happiness for every person outside your social strata.Why should they attack those who are meant to help and protect them?\nIn response to all the sinophile answers, the name \u201cPeople\u2019s Liberation Army\u201d, does have a rather oppressive/ominous jingle to it for westerners. More often than not, it gets confused with the Palestine Liberation Organization, which conjures up images of mideast terrorism (it certainly did for me, when i first heard the acronym, while growing up in the west). Just by changing this english name to something more mild (and nothing else), China could tremendously reduce its perceived military tensions with the west.Media is all about getting viewers attention with troll-baiting titles (Quora included), and China\u2019s military literally hands itself on a silver platter to western-media with such an inflammatory-sounding english name. Here are some example news title i just dug up on google. Imagine how less ominous they would sound, if china\u2019s military got rid of the PLA english moniker:Why don\'t chinese people attack the PLA with all their might and liberate themselves? (Yeah, down with the oppressive PLA! they\u2019re related to the PLO right?)\u2026Why don\'t chinese people attack China\u2019s Army with all their might and liberate themselves? (Wtf has china\u2019s army ever done to its own people recently? What an obviously stupid Quora question)People\'s Liberation Army ups its recruitment gameChina\u2019s Army ups its recruitment gameXi Jinping Takes Command Of The People\'s Liberation ArmyXi Jinping Takes Command Of China\u2019s ArmyPeople\'s Liberation Army to become most modern military by 2020China\'s Army to become most modern military by 2020\nYour neighbour\u2019s father once came to your house when you were still a baby. He asked your father to give up the house because he is much better at managing it. Your father refused. So he killed your father, raped your mother and killed her, took your brother to some terrible experiments and killed him, raped your elder sister to death and killed your little sister who was only 2 months old at the time.Your neighbor\u2019s mother, at the same time, was so proud of what her husband had done. She made nice meal for him and wished him can kill some more in your home. And then, someone stronger came, killed your neighbour\u2019s mother and made the man stop. However the man gave all that he took from your house, like the data of experiments on your brother, to that someone for exchange. So, that someone let him go, freely. But, well, that\'s another story. Let\'s come back to you and your neighbor.To be fair, both you and your current neighbor were too young to remember anything back that time. Now you grow up and his dad is dead already. Well, the past is the past, let it go, you thought.But the other day, you passing your neighbor\u2019s house and find, oh, he is having a celebrating party. A party, cool, you thought.\u201cWhat is the party for?\u201d you ask.\u201cFor my feather and his great killing skill and the glory fight that he won from your father!\u201d he said, looking in your eyes with a lovely smile, \u201cthe past is past, you won\'t mind right?\u201d\u201cYes!He is so cuuute! His mother was also killed! He is a victim! You must forgive him, you bad Chinese!\u201d shout someone who watched this.\nChinese have every right to be hateful to Japan, because of what they did.That being said, the past is the past, and most Japanese people are not like that now, but when you hurt a people as much as they did back then, it\'s difficult to move on. For many Chinese, it\'s impossible to move on.That being said, it doesn\'t help that 40% of Chinese television is war against Japan shows and movies. That and parents and teachers religiously teach their children that Japan is bad, and we must hate them.I have had many students, 6 and 7 years old, who tell me \u201cI hate Japan! I want them to burn!\u201d And I just frown and say \u201cWhy?\u201d They say \u201cBecause they are bad, that\'s why!\u201dThere\'s nothing we can do about it when it\'s a part of their culture to hate Japan.Answer: Why? Because it\'s a popular idea that sells, and remembering what they did to China back then puts a fire in many Chinese hearts, one that us foreigners just cannot begin to comprehend.In a way similar to any blockbuster film about Iraq and 9/11.\nNot that hateful as you thought. Haha.In the Chinese quora, zhihu, there is a serial of questions \u201cHow developed/good is XXX(a certain country)\u201d. The number of views and followers may show the attitude of zhihu users.Question: How Good is Japan? follower 34340 view 8899366Question: How Developed is Japan? follower 82160 view 8389399And for the US:Question: How Developed is the US? follower 32886 view 1256134for northern EuropeQuestion: How Developed is northern Europe? follower 10569 view 438076for the UK, France and GermanySo\u2026.among all the main developed country in this world, we like Japan the most\u2026\nwell for starters, all of the japanese pms refuse to acknowledge the war crimes committed - apologies were half hearted and me, a westernized chinese person will still boycott japanese products simply because in 1940, my grandfather and 4 other relatives of mine were brutally executed while fighting the japs - no pow camps - just a bayonet through your chest - my great-grandmother had to throw my grandmother into the bushes so the japanese wouldn\u2019t find my grandmother and kill her or perform sick and twisted experiments on her - they did this to basically the entire country of china - every single chinese person in china has an extremely personal connection like melets not forget to mention that shinzo abe still goes to shrines honouring war criminals\nI am tired of these questions polluting my FEED. Just one last time.There\'s a special shrine in Japan, \u8b77\u56fd\u795e\u793e/shrine honouring the war dead, which has branches (shrines are like banks) in almost all the Japanese cities.What does the war dead mean?Including all the killers who had invaded my motherland in the history, from the first Sino-Japan war, Russo-Japan war (occured in China), the illegal occupation of NorthEast China, to the WW2.Including those who attacked Pearl Harbour, and who slaughtered and enslaved countless East/SouthEast Asian people.These war criminals have been and will be honoured officially in Japanese shrines.Current Japan has no part in the military past? What are you talking about: Abe Shinzo\u2019s grandpa is a A class war criminal.Given the killer shows no regret, are you asking me why we are not polite?\nThe reason why I decided to live in Shanghai for such a long time is very simple: I\'m happier here despite China holds some shortcomings we all know (pollution, house price, food safety, etc\u2026).So, why am I happier here?Mainly because:I became so familiar with the city to the point I feel it\'s now \u201cmy place\u201d, like a kind of second hometownI have good friends I do care aboutI have learned things that made me a better personAnd I do care a lot about personal safety. It feels great to be in a huge city where you can be free to walk around at any time of the day and without threatsEven in the past I got opportunities to go back to Europe with higher salary and better package, but I declined it. Perhaps I\'m a sentimental guy, but I do mind to stay where I feel happy. Money is important but isn\'t everything; what matters the most is that you are in harmony with yourself, whether it\'s in China or any other place in the world, you should follow what you really want and what makes you feel better.On the other hand, there are many Chinese people who go abroad for study but eventually they\'ll move back to China at one point. At least that\'s what I noticed in my ten years experience here.Pursue your happiness and you\'ll be fine.\nAs someone else has commented here, many foreigners who enjoy living in China have an underlying reason/purpose for being here.Some believe it is the land of opportunity in the 21st century. They expect to come here and are willing to spend half to all of their lives trying to become successful.Some are here for experience. They think by gaining international experience in a country that is becoming more and more important for corporations, they will have an advantage over others when moving back.Some are fascinated with Chinese culture or asian anime, so they move to an Asian country.Some are here for the language. Mastering Chinese is their life long pursuit.Some are fascinated by Chinese women or men. They come here looking for a husband or wife.Some are here to get closer to their roots. They were raised by Chinese parents but lack a true connection and the experience of living in China.Talking to all of these types of foreigners in China who are positive about living here. Most of their reasoning is financial. They believe that in China, you can have a decent life and save money as well. Their above purpose is what makes them believe this is a great place to be long-term.Most Chinese people migrate for 3 main reasons. Education, Pollution, and Less Competition/More Oppurtunity. All of these reasons are because of their children to get a better life in the future - especially the first 2.\nEvery country has unique opportunities and unique competitive forces. Competition in China for jobs, educational opportunities, etc. is very high. They have a huge widely dispersed population and it can be difficult to differentiate yourself and get access to those opportunities. They generally emigrate to get access to unique opportunities that are a better fit for their situation or to become part of a culture that rewards particular traits, behaviors, skills, education, etc.There\u2019s a lot of focus in China on better integrating and doing business with western companies, so there are lots of opportunities for people who can bridge those cultural gaps. In some companies, just being a Western ex-patriot can make you somewhat of a rock-star. However, if you\u2019re a highly motivated, individualistic person from rural China without a formal education, you may find that Western culture will reward that drive and passion more than Chinese culture will.What it comes down to is that there\u2019s no \u201cone best country\u201d to live or work in. It\u2019s all very situational and has a lot to do with your personality, skills, experience, education, background, etc. People who have traits or abilities that are surplus or even detrimental in their country can often relocate to where those traits or abilities are in demand. But, there\u2019s so much variety and diversity in people and cultures that you\u2019ll often see traffic moving in both directions.\nI\u2019m not sure I have anything Terribly Insightful to add to the thread, but I\u2019d like to share a brief synopsis of my time in China. I moved here at the beginning of 2015 to take a job I was very excited about. (The details aren\u2019t important.) Here are three reasons I love living in China: 1. This may well be the warmest, most welcoming country I have ever been to outside the US. 2. Despite what one may see or hear, the urban areas are clean and modern. I mean, nothing\u2019s perfect, but I\u2019d rather live in Tianjin (where I am) than in most metropolitan areas in the US. (Bear in mind that my Chinese sucks, and I still feel this way.) 3. The incredible blend of complexity, diversity and thousands of years of history is absolutely fascinating. As someone else pointed out, it\u2019s no more appropriate to think of China as a single country than it is to think about Europe or Central America as being single countries. (Central America might be the better analogy, because of the nominal homogeneity of language.)Sure, there are things that are very different, and the monolithic government and bureaucracy can be challenging - but I knew those risks when I moved here, and don\u2019t have any bad feelings. In fact, in general, if you don\u2019t do anything to cause public embarrassment, or embarrassment to the government, it\u2019s actually a very liberal society.Just my opinion, but I\u2019m happy here, and grateful to have welcomed into the country.\nThere are 1.4 billion people living in China, millions of Chinese people who migrate abroad won\u2019t make a huge difference in statistic. The ratio is almost insignificant to our society, and there\u2019s no notable relevance between the number of migrants and living standard in China. Let\u2019s say the US: an ideal place for people who pursue business startups, job opportunities, education fulfillment and high living standard. But even in the most developed country in our planet, the number of people who abandon American citizenship every year skyrockets these years: some of them migrate abroad, some of them withdraw their business, some of them book an airline ticket back to their motherland without doubts and regrets. All nations have flaws and merits, people migrate for thousands of reasons.Millions of Chinese people migrate because they have different career orientation, lifestyle choice, education options or marriage choice. I was born and raised in China, been traveled to different countries around the world. I appreciate the advancement and superiority of western countries in educational system, environmental protection, healthcare, individual freedom and diversity of career choices, but undoubtedly the rising problems and upcoming dilemmas are jeopardizing the social structure and western values in developed countries.China is not a terrifying place to live in, I don\u2019t want to elaborate since some other answers are quite thorough and comprehensive about it. The charisma and charm of China would be embraced if you experience it by yourself. :)\nI have been living in China for a little over 1.5 years and I have understood much of the much secretive and claimed \u2018Communist\u2019 Political system that I have to accept, globally, people only have stereotypes about. In these 1.5 years, My most preferred ice-breaker with people I meet for the first time, is their political opinions towards the government. Sometimes, It can backfire but I have known the boundaries of its sensitivity.During my experience here, I have talked with many students, working professionals, CEOs of a few companies to even a few Baristas. One common feeling which remains same in each of these interactions is the sheer positivity towards their government.Wait, What?I have been to 20+ countries in over 5 continents and the political perception of people towards their government intrigues me. I have had such conversations with many, all over the world. But, I haven\u2019t experienced as many people being positive about their government as in China. So, This comes as a shock to many of my friends overseas. Some, even call it brainwashing.I read more about it & I discovered that India & China are leading the Global Trust Levels in Business and Government. You can check it out HERE.In many of my conversations with my friends overseas, It is common for many of them to openly criticize their government and its policies. Most of these conversations just end with, either \u2018I am sick and tired of this system\u2019 or \u2018the next government will be better\u2019.China\u2019s political system remains a global controversy & It was important for me to understand the reasons behind it. So, I decided to write down some of my experiences.Before, I move on, I have a disclaimer - This is a neutral perspective coming from a Global Citizen, not an individual of 1 specific country. And, I have one request, try more to understand than to be understood. For once. I did the same and have been doing the same for over 1.5 years.Last Month, I saw many of my social media feeds going viral over Donald Trump\u2019s victory. I think the topic of \u2018Our Political System :o itself, for us or for some specific people\u2019 has become even more important and urgent topic to talk about. Against the popular perceptions, the chinese political model has taken my interest to new heights. Here are some of its highlights -ForDemocracy or No Democracy - The biggest myth of the chinese the same in many countries. The much acclaimed \u2018Largest Democracy in the World\u2019 - India, has the same system where people vote for the member of parliament who in the end choose the prime minister of the country (the equivalent of the Chinese president). The point is - It\u2019s democracy. Yes, It can be questioned. But, on a scale of \u2018Yes\u2019 or \u2018No\u2019, it\u2019s a \u2018Yes\u2019.its political system - \u2018It\u2019s not democracy\u2019. Well, it\u2019s wrong. People in China do vote for their local councillors who in the end are supposed to choose the bigger leaders in the political arena. It is true that many people don\u2019t know about this process and how it works as the process is not transparent and some people just don\u2019t care. It\u2019s also true that a layman can\u2019t vote to choose the president of the country. ButEarn a voting right - If you want to play a role in the National Politics The Communist party. It\u2019s important to understand the \u2018one party system\u2019. People need to be a party member in order to vote for the Chinese President.party i.e. or vote for the Chinese president. Then, you have to be a Chinese Communist party member. China is a Democracy but has only oneSingle Party System - Yes, ito a single party rule. But, wait, Singapore has a Single party rule too since no other political party or coalition of parties has been successful in winning enough votes to form a government. An extremely efficient democracy based on popular perceptions. So, One party ruling the country is not unique. And, China is not an exception here.Being a party member - The next question is, how to be a party member? In order to be a party member, a person needs to be influential enough to earn a right to vote in the presidential elections. Although, the exact number remains to be a secret but I read it online that the Communist Party of China has over 87.79 Million Members (24.7% Female) till June 2016.Well, that was the Chinese Political system that I have understood till now. But the important part is, What is my opinion about it? So, here are my experiences when I talk with people about it.Democracy or No Democracy - In one of my conversations with Terry, A Bar Tender in Beijing who had won many awards for his work. He learnt Bar tending to decide the result of the elections but in reality they don\u2019t. Look at what they did, They did Brexit and now are suffering. Democracy works in a Board Room, in an office when a company/team is deciding, basically within a group of 10 people or so, deciding something about their work since the team is supposed to work in one direction but not a country". Well, he proved me wrong in the conversation of \u2018People having a say in deciding the election results\u2019.different in reality it\u2019s not even 0.1%. Let\u2019s look at a UK, when I was studying there, UK has a population of 60+ million, when they vote, they think their vote will make a matters but them believe in this delusion that their vote vote making from a school in the UK. He says "\'Democracy is a delusion\u2019 because people are made to believe (by the media, current government) that they have a say in the bigger political system. But, in reality, they don\u2019t". He gave me some data, he said "You are Indian, right? What\u2019s India\u2019s Population? Really big, right? How many people do you have? 1 billion or so? Tell me, how 1 person in 1 billion people can have a say in the political system which has over a billion people. You don\u2019t. You are just made to believe and asked toEarn a voting right - In a recent conversation with one of my colleagues Charles, he said "We grow up in a world where we are told that education is everything. The higher you study the better your future is or the more successful you are going to be. Now, let\u2019s combine democracy with it. In this case, people who have won a noble prize/ A scientist/ A person with a PHD are supposed to be the most successful people. Can you equate them with a person who never been to a school?" My answer was no. He replies "Exactly but\u2019.democracy what happens in China". Well, he proved me wrong too in the conversation of \u2018Only People make the decision in a thats that\u2019s what democracy does. You see, everyone has only 1 Vote in a Democracy. How can we argue that a person who is not even educated will have enough decision making ability to vote for the right person. How can you treat them equal. It\u2019s not possible. That\u2019s why you got to earn a right to vote by proving your ability to vote andSingle Party System - In a recent conversation with Marc, one of my friends who lives in my apartment, we were talking about Brexit. He said, "Brexit is a joke. First they always a long term plan. That\u2019s the reasons China has grown so much in the last 30 years." Well, he proved me wrong on the topic of \u2018Having multiple parties in a political system\u2019 too. a) and the new government cancels the plans of the previous government? But, In China, there is democarcy of global concept means that tomorrow it can have more space for more people. The government wants to do that. But, if there was a second political party then they will come here and not let it happen. It stops the economic growth and a country\u2019s overall growth. What if tomorrow the government changes (referring to homeless but it because the opposition parties will lose out on their vote banks if the bill is passed. You just can\u2019t move on in a multi-party system". He was referring to the Gun Rights Bill in the US House. "Look at a China, you see that building (referring to a 45 floor building from the window), tomorrow you may see a higher building there. That higher building doesn\u2019t mean that the people living there are now going to be enough but things will move on, and won\u2019t be stopped. Look at the US, the government works for years and years to make a bill and then the opposition party rejects it. Not because the bill wasn\u2019t good Atleast voted and then they realized, Oops, we did wrong. Now, can we vote again?" He was referring to the survey of more than 50% of people wanting to vote again on Brexit, in the UK. He went on saying "If there is one party then they will do what they think is right. Plus, there is nobody else to oppose it.Being a Party Member - During a casual meet up with some of my friends from the previous company I used to work for, they started talking about one of our colleagues who recently became a Chinese Communist Party Member. I asked "Isn\u2019t it unfair that only limited people have a right to vote?" Well, that turned out to be a trigger to have a 3 hours long conversation. I asked them, how do you exactly become a party member? One of them replies,For some reason, Quora Editor gives me problems to write long answers. You can check the original post here - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/w...\nThis is just a stream of thought response based on my experiences this summer. I had a great time, but I like to analyze things and was actively looking for differences.I traveled to Nanjing this summer and stayed for just short of a month. Other than finding the humidity unbearable, I was fascinated by the mix of old world culture and futuristic society. In some ways with the street vendors and the open markets I felt like I was back in the 17th century, but everyone has smart phones.Most of the buildings are new, but not well maintained (except for the nice shiny downtown). Kids played outside like I did backin the 1980s. Everyone where t shirts with English writing on them which they probably don\u2019t understand.The more urban centers feel like something out of minority report or blade runner but with less dystopia and much more materialism. Capitalism is the name of the game here. From the street side food sellers to of course the large enterprises. The worst service came from state controlled places, everyone else was always eager to get the sale no matter what.The pollution wasn\u2019t as terrible as I had expected, but I\u2019m sure it has been worse. There are no rules of the road, at least not enforced - and the right of way goes to cars, the Scooters, then bicycles, and finally pedestrians. But at least they warn you. I haven\u2019t decided if that chaos results in better drivers or worse, but I decided it was safest to look in all directions everywhere when walking because the sidewalks are as likely to have scooters as the bike lanes (much bigger and separated from the main road).Where I was, I might not see another white person for days. I was quite conscious of it. It was intimidating and exhilarating, everyone tried to say hello in English, several times they wanted to get a photograph with me.Law enforcement was very local and comment, but felt more like unarmed security guards. Not intimidating and generally let everyone mind there own business - not authoritarian at all. I did see some police or guards with AK-47s, but that was only once.Public transit was amazing - buses, subways, trains. Easy to use, frequent and though crowded, they seemed the best way to get around.the shear number of KFC restaurants. The Chinese love their fried chicken. Starbucks is common too, but just as expensive as in the US. Most of the restaurants are local mom and pa shops. i was aware the food in China is nothing like the Chinese food in the west. I think I had more tofu than rice. It was good, but my western stomachs could not tolerate the idea of tripe.As for food - most of it is fresh. Even Walmart had live animals (fish, frogs\uff09that you can buy for food. Drinks are room temperature or warmer, it is looked at as being barbaric and unhealthy to drink cold drinks by most people I encountered. The cold soft drinks were still warm for my taste. Chocolate is very limited - mostly just snickers bars.Shopping in malls was similar to America, but there is way more staff. It is like it was before the vast cuts for efficiency in the 80s. The prosperity is very visible. The way things are sold is different. Groceries that are sold by weight are weighed at one of the many stations in the store, instead of the til. Buying clothing didn\u2019t seem so different. At least they were air conditioned. 38 degrees Celsius and 85 percent humidity are not pleasant for a Canadian such as myself. Interestingly enough, when entering these AC palaces of survival, the doors are large thing plastic strips that you just separate like vertical blinds.Of course you can\u2019t visit a city in China without talking about the crowds. Yes it is crowded, but where I was it was never such that I was frustrated. Also, being taller than most people, I could easily see over everyone\'s heads. There is a very obvious difference between younger generation that have only know prosperity - more western in appearance, more materialistic, willing to hold hands, than with the older generations who grew up in villages and received little education. Their appearance and health seems very different. One beggar women actually grabbed my arm aggressively expecting money. Violently. It was weird.Anyone who could afford to buy a home several years ago when they were dirt cheap, may own several now - and they sell for a huge amount. There is a lot of hidden wealth - it was like what I would have expected from the gold rush days.There are so many more things. It was my first chance to travel overseas. I plan on going back. The people were nice, the speech does sound aggressive - it is not, just the nature of the language sound. I went out for dinner with others often and they were all exceptionally accommodating and friendly. Oh yeah, and Canadian dollars go really far there. 30 dollars got three of us a nice dinner in a decent restaurant in downtown Shanghai.I definitely noticed a more pronounced class-ism though. Not by culture or race, but on education and family status. It seemed heavily ingrained in the culture - a certain disrespect for those of lower education such as farmers or vendors. It\u2019s probably changing - some of those old farmers are pretty wealthy - sold their farms for a lot, and now just sell watermelons. Oh yeah, so many watermelons. Cheap, delicious. Mmmm. Stinky Tofu - smells like shit - tastes great.I felt much safer there than anywhere else I have lived. At night, I never felt like that shady person was planning on stealing my wallet, or going to rob me. Their just seems to be less desperation, and harmony is a strong part of the culture. There were some places that had a bit more of a slum like feel, but not so intimidating as Hastings in Vancouver.Though there is plenty more, I will leave by mentioning the great firewall. It was annoying. The people there are well aware of it. They do complain. They complain about the government openly. They have as many beefs as we in the west, but the tremendous growth in prosperity and the culture gives them less incentive to put up a fight. There is definitely propaganda. On the level of nationalism we see in the US. They think they know about the outside world as well as most Americans who haven\u2019t traveled abroad think they do. Their knowledge is just as incorrect. They know about Mao\u2019s Great Leap Forward, Cultural revolution, Tienanmen, but don\u2019t bring it up, and some thought it was all justified, others think it was terrible, and destroyed much of their heritage. If anything - in Nanjing, people really don\u2019t like the Japanese government, and I can\u2019t blame them considering what happened.That\u2019s enough.(edited for spelling mistakes - I typed the entire thing on my ipad ugh)\nAuthor with the statue of well known artist in the West Lake, Hangzhou, ChinaBackground: I am Canadian citizen and soon in a few years it be close to 50 years in this country, I am from the east Indian heritage. I have had worked in the Canadian dairy/food/flavor industry from managerial to executive positions. I had a good run in this profession for about 30 years and took very early retirement to chase my own dream in another line of work and it has been 15 years and hopefully I keep counting for a long time.In addition I have two master\u2019s degrees one from u of Punjab India in dairy science and the other from u of Guelph Canada, in food science.My Chinese connection: I was born in a small town in Indian region of Punjab, our primary school teacher used to tell us that our neighbor China is very civilized country, in fact when most of the world was living in caves they were studying astronomy. They invented several things which contributed to the advancement of the world.This fired my brain (imagination) and sowed the seed about China/Chinese, also being Indian due to Buddhism and neighbor we saw China very friendly and very good country in the mid 50s. Our relationship with China became sour after 1962 conflict, and China then was very closed country, visa was impossible, and travelling from India was not a joke though my family was reasonably okay. Regardless, my teacher described the word picture and from a tender age of 5 used to imagine the beauty and very nice country of our neighbors.Then I migrated to Canada, but my dream did not die, and then in Canada I had nothing but positive interactions with Chinese, as my professors, class mates, coworkers, neighbors, friends, reports and now business dealings.Finally I made my first and then second trip and now several are in the planning to go back to China. My ultimate goal is to see/explore this country from one end to the other, so far my health allows it, I want to keep exploring this great country,civilization and people.I am very thankful to Chinese authorities to give 10 years visa without any restriction on visits, with maximum stay of 6 months. My Canadian citizenship might have helped to grant such a nice visa, also my Nexus status might have contributed to positive decision.I am law abiding citizen: when in Rome do as Romans do, I am standing, in Tienanmen square, however I was very scared I had heard that security is very tight in there. Regardless, I was free to move around with total freedom. No one bothered me, and I had very nice visit to the Forbidden City.Now the answer to the Question: Simply breath taking beautiful, unbelievable mega country with no substitute on the earth for me. Salute to China and Chinese for such a huge leap. It is totally different what media had played and the impression people have, in my books not even close what so ever. I am no fear to go back again and again, and even live there. My teacher 60 years ago or so was not wrong, he was in fact very conservative, in firing my imagination of this great country.I started with very positive attitude towards China and Chinese, and I was totally blown away the with greatness, politeness, cleanliness, discipline, personal safety, law and order and shear grandeur of land mass and huge population. I already had in my mind but after the visit I am 100 percent decided that my grand kids must learn Mandarin, visit the country several times, and see the length, breadth and height of this continued civilization of over 5000 years. They must learn from it all positive things of hard work, discipline, fine arts, architecture, above all one of the best food in the world. One life may not be enough to try all the cuisine, variety and food culture of China, therefore they should start very early. What more tribute I can give to this great country and people that I wanted to enroll my American born grand kids, with endless choices to live and study anywhere they want, but if I had a say, I want them to go to school in China at least for a few years, where they must learn first hand, what is called hard work and studies, and ying yang of the proper balance in life.Sure China/Chinese have problems but who does not?Sure China has mega problems which country does not but I am very sure China/Chinese have a long history fighting and solving their problems, they have resilience and come through. I know I know I know, I will hear \u2018 freedom of speech, slave labor, poor quality, pollution, still lot of poverty, dirty wash rooms, people spitting on the road, \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.this list goes on\u2026.. sorry not to mention Google and Facebook, are not available there, but they will just fine without those two luxuries in life, I learned to live without it, and did just fine\u2026.well may be a little withdrawal symptoms in the beginning and got over it. Well, Beijing roasted duck and dim sum helped a lot sooth that pain.Please let us check our own back yard first are we as squeaky clean as we portray?My answer to all those : I have lived here in the west soon it be 50 years, and let us check our own back yard, in my view we will find lot of things which are not as glorious as we portray.China has seen lot of ups and downs, such as Mongolian and Manchurian regimes, some of the modern time injustices which included, physical , financial, respect, and humiliation and lose lot of wealth, it is called 100 years of humiliation which included losing HK, opium wars, favorable settlement to other countries , after the fall of The Last Emperor, one visit to Nanjing museum will open your eyes. Well guys now the Dragon is wake and it is not imaginary anymore, as Phoenix has risen from ashes. Say Hello(nihoma) to the new very powerful guy on the street in modern times, he was very powerful in the ancient time, but he is back now.We could think about poverty, slums, homelessness, corruption, frauds, drive by shooting, drugs, sex scandals, and the list goes on,\u2026\u2026\u2026in the west also. Is democracy that great\u2026\u2026.really ?? if it is, the question should be: will it work for massive country in land mass and population in China? let the political pundits decide\u2026.I may have my ideas\u2026..but they are not qualified.A word of caution to myself:I decided long time ago, that I will look only positive things in people, living and non living things, write about it so that I may leave some legacy for my grand kids, or who so ever find some merit in it.You want to visit China : please go with very positive attitude, leave the pre conceived ideas in your own country and you will only see beauty in everything (well almost in everything), but no one is perfect, let us say \u201c Glass is more full than empty) and as the old saying goes wear green glasses you will see everything green.Now let us start with changed impressions after the visit one by one:China is very safe country:After the visit/s based on my observations, experience, and confirmation by my host who is born and brought up Suzhou guy, China is literally free of violent crimes, petty thefts and other low level crimes may be there but I was not too concerned. I saw young girls working in the night shifts by themselves, and walking freely in the middle of night to their home/or night shifts, travelling in the public transports.Women are power houses working shoulder to shoulder with men:I have seen women involved in every walk of life, they are handling the baby in the crib and watching the small shop/stall at the same time with flare, grace and politeness. Bargaining like a very wise small business person, at the airport they are sitting at customs, immigration and other official duties, handling the business without getting flustered with total politeness and respect. To me it looked like most likely Chinese respect their women from heart, I did not see any sign of disrespect or looks. I saw hundreds of school girls dressed in school dresses with load of books on their back more heavy than their tiny body\u2019s could carry, showed me that Chinese are very supportive of their daughters for going to school. In my view China has become so powerful because the women are sharing heavy burden of house hold and outside jobs.Very healthy, smartly dressed teenage school girls, enjoying equal opportunities to get education.Tiny adorable kids have equal opportunities to enjoy field trips and educationWomen working shoulder to shoulder with men in every walks of life,Women are power houses in China, they are working shoulder to shoulder with men.Women are power houses they seem to be very hard working and productive in the progress of China.Once you visit China you realize it is not homogeneous country:No all Chinese are not same, there are 56 recognized minorities with their own culture and main majority is called Huns, they make 90 percent but there there are further classifications.Bravo, still they all live in relative harmony ( at least I have not heard, any mass scale and riots), Sure there may be some issues with some ethnic groups, and I under no circumstances will make a comment, because I do not have any real knowledge of the issues, or qualification to say.I visited famous Muslim Quarters in Xian and found hustle bustle and tremendous amount of life.Author and his wife Sue visited world famous Muslim Quarters in Xian they found the market very nice, tourists and locals were shopping and eating and walking through the streets. These muslims are settled in the area for about 1000 years,Bravo Chinese and China. These Muslim Chinese are called Hue people of China.Muslim Quarters or Street as it is called, in fact there may 100s or 1000s of restaurants and snack shopsWorld famous Muslim Quarters.It is not Beijing and it not Shanghai, the biggest city in China, it is Breath taking city Chongqing, I found out on this trip, it has over 30 million people.Breath taking Chongqing, sky line, Yangtze River flow with all its might.Author with his wife enjoying a moment of Chongqing beauty.Chinese natural beauty can knock as they say anyone\u2019s socks off ( at least they did mine) some of the natural beauty will stay with me for ever: Part 1, as we go I will post more spell bound places.Here are some natural beauty of this country:Following three pictures are taken by the author on the Coast line of Yangtze river between Chongqing and Shanghai.Who Says Chinese do not smile, that is a myth, when you go there you will find they are real people ( well almost all of them) they smile a lot.I know this is very sensitive topic to discuss, but for me it is very important to shed more light on this misconception, Religion in China.I have heard before going to China, that most of the Chinese are atheists, well I was pleasantly surprised, in fact most of the Chinese have found real meaning of the religion and God, because most of them talk about Karma, reincarnation, honesty, hard work, no theft, family values and good deeds. To me they found the ultimate truth they do not have to go any religious place to learn anymore.However what I saw the devotion of some devotees in Buddhist temples it knocked me over, I will not be the same.Here are some pictures of Grand Buddha of Ling Shan, this is 88 meter Buddha statue the largest statue of my lord, and other is bathing of baby Buddha ceremony, I never ever seen anything like this, I and my wife sue visited this temple two times still not enough, I could stay there for ever.Grand Buddha and Baby Buddha of Ling ShanUltra modern state of the art mass transportation at reasonable prices.I never ever realized length breadth of their subway systems in Shanghai subway lines are becoming world model, and who can compete with this monster speed of 431 Km/hr. Here pictures of this train, which covers 30 km in 8 minutes at a reasonable price, these are real pictures taken by my wife Sue and I in Shanghai.China\u2019s pride and joy, Maglev train, which attains maximum speed of 431 km/hour and covers 30 km in 8 minutes down town Shanghai to the airport. Well done China/Chinese, fastest train in the world.Chinese love and affinity for gardens, beautiful landscapes, greenery, water falls, lakes , lush trees and tranquility, are praise worthy, and I learned lot of lessons.The west lake Hangzhou,The country is humming with manufacturing activity and as you see ship loads of finished products, raw material traffic, produce and other goods are moving.A great lesson for me in the hard work, devotion and determination.Ship load of new cars being transported via Yangtze River.Truck and trailers are humming the national highways with raw, finished and produce through ultra modern highways and toll booths.Chinese have total mastery of foods, they know arts, science and business end of the food industry ( in my view Chinese did to food industry what Henry Ford did to Auto industry)Chinese have now the world monopoly of this industry, they have cut down lot of middle men which is a major factor to cut down the cost of prepared food that it does not make sense to cook at home any more. Chinese food has taken over the world by storm, reasons fast/hot/relatively healthy/ meet every pocket from man in the street to the emperor/queen of a country,.When in China you will never go hungry, there is food for every one with a few yuan in his/her pocket, Chinese can feed an emperor/queen and man in the street with a few yuan in his/her pocket. If you are hungry in China is has to an extreme bad luck.Following is a snap shot of some of the places where author and his lovely wife ate, including sitting on the streets of Beijing/Shanghai/Xian and eating it some of the most delicious foods in the world.Chinese street food has mind boggling choices, Chinese food vendors are hustlers ( in a good way) they are determined to make you buy their food.China was the world leader and in my view will stay world leader in Silk production for ever:Chinese history proves it China was the world leader in silk production and that is why ancient Silk Route was developed, after these visits in my mind China will keep this monopoly for ever.Here are some pictures of some steps to Silk production and show room.Some steps to produce world class silk in China, silk worms feeding on mulberry leaves.Silk CocoonsSilk show room in BeijingIn my view most of the Chinese people are very hard working, strong will to live, and I strongly believe, they have found true God through Karma.Here are some pictures of their resilience, will power, most of them very happy, content with cards fate dealt them and they have found true happiness of contentment. This motivated me to work more harder and it recharged my batteries.Rather than bitching, complaining, and finding bad ways to make a living, these are the true \u201c Karam Yogis and Yoginis\u201d which my scripture described in the holy book of The Gita, (Hinduism) FYI, Buddhism is off shoot of Hinduism. Lord Buddha was born Hindu Prince. I saw that spirit where ever I traveled, great work ethics in their blood per sure ( for most of them, exceptions are and will be there)I observed that most of the Chinese people are very physically active, and in good physical shape.One of the most impressive things was their dances, in the parks, and I believe it is a good exercise, socializing and getting out your stress.These are my general observation, Chinese people are very proud, some may have physical handicap but their self pride is in tact,Following two pictures are great source of inspiration to me, I class them entertainers and not beggars, they my personal inspiration. Bravo hats off to your dignity , pride and this will linger in my mind for ever.Chinese people are too proud to beg, they may have physical handicap but they spirit and dignity is in tact. I do not class him beggar, I class him, an entertainer, and my inspiration.Chinese people are too proud to beg, they may have physical handicap but they spirit and dignity is in tact. I do not class him beggar, I class him, an entertainer, and my inspiration.Chinese seniors are respected and taken good care off, most of them will die in the arms of a grand son/daughter or loving son/daughter/daughter in law.Stay tuned more to come until then : Ding ding ho,\nThe more I learn about China, the more I realize I don\u2019t know and never will know. That being said, I still have a clearer insight on life in China than I did when I first got here three year ago.Chinese LanguageEverywhere you travel, the dialect is different. While the nation shares a common written language, there is a huge disconnect with spoken language among all Chinese. Every province, and in some circumstances even every city, has its own spoken dialect. The only way for some Chinese to communicate is through written communication since they often don\u2019t understand each others\u2018 Chinese. That\u2019s why there\u2019s a need for Mandarin (\u666e\u901a\u8bdd)\u2014a standard language that unifies all of China.As a foreigner in China, Chinese people don\u2019t expect you to be able to speak Chinese. Of course, if you do speak Chinese, even just a bit, they\u2019ll be elated to hear that you\u2019re making an effort to learn about and integrate into Chinese culture. Study for a little while and you\u2019ll blow the minds of locals, especially in smaller and rural areas. It\u2019s quite fun to have a conversation with an older Chinese man or woman because they seem so stoked to be speaking with a \u8001\u5916.DrivingAt first when I arrived in China the driving looked like absolute chaos. It still does, but I\u2019m not surprised by anything anymore. Driving on the wrong side of the road in front of police officers, making U-turns right when oncoming traffic is heading your way, changing lanes without looking or signaling. It\u2019s all the norm, so other drivers know to look out for it.People use their horns liberally, and nobody gets easily offended by anything. In the States, people take driving way too personally. Chinese drive slowly, but they cut everybody off and honk at each other and nobody thinks twice about it. If someone cuts you off, it\u2019s not their fault; it\u2019s your fault. You allowed enough space in front of you for them to pass. That\u2019s the driving mentality. Everyone plays by the same messy rules, so it works out.FoodDon\u2019t be afraid to try street food. I\u2019ve eaten tons of Chinese street food and I haven\u2019t fallen ill. The only time I got sick was when I accidentally drank tap water, resulting in a two day fit of explosive diarrhea.Seriously though, eating the food of this country is one of the best parts of the immersion here. If you miss out on that, you\u2019re missing out on an integral part of what it means to visit or live in China. There is so much variety in the food that I miss it so badly when I leave this country.Jaded ForeignersSad to say, but many foreigners who visit China don\u2019t really like Chinese food, complain about air pollution, blab about ways that the west is way better at this and that, etc. The expat community here is a bit jaded, especially the ones who\u2019ve been here for a few years or more. My advice: don\u2019t listen to foreigners who moan about China; they\u2019re just dealing with some internal personal issues in the wrong way, by taking it out on the Middle Kingdom.ConclusionThese are just my opinions. I\u2019m not an expert. I\u2019m just a guy who lives here. Thanks for reading.\nOh boy ! This question is special.Even before visiting china, I knew China wasn\'t just a suppressive communist regime with child labours in giant factories. But the media wouldn\'t portray it otherwise.It took a lot many trips to the embassy to get me a travel visa but every single trip was worth it.And here\'s a little secret the Chinese wouldn\'t let you in on.\u201cIt\'s the most beautiful country in the world\u201dIt surprises me is how little they promote tourism internationally. All one pictures of when thinking of China is the Great Wall or the Terracotta Army. But guess what, I didn\'t visit either. All the places I\u2019d been to were full of domestic tourists and I stuck out like the odd one almost everywhere. (I\'m not complaining though, but more in that later) I only got a month\u2019s single visit visa. And I spent all of it in the southern part of China. So let me give you a brief account of my amazing experience in this mystical country.PEOPLE:Just mentioning that people are kind would be such a gross understatement. People are very warm and always greet you with a smile (Not just the formal touristic greet but the genuine humble smile)I was always short for change while traveling and there wasn\'t once an occasion when some passerby didn\'t pause to help me. And the help wasn\'t just instructional or with giving me a change. A lot many of them just put their money, got me a ticket, handed it to me and left with a smile.I didn\'t have the change to get into a bus in Guangzhou once and was putting in 10 yuan instead but the bus driver stopped me and put in his own money instead, asked me to just settle down.When I was Changsha, I didn\'t know the metro route and was struggling to figure out with the route map. A woman hurriedly came to me and asked her young son to help me out. He was a school student, probably still learning English. With the little that he could, he stood there, looking into my Apple Maps travel route suggestion and keyed in those details into his phone and started searching. It took him a good 10 minutes to help me sort out the route but he made sure (despite the language barrier) that I got the travel route right. When they proceeded to leave, the mother gripped her son\u2019s shoulder as a sign of appreciation for his help. I could see the humility in her eyes and I couldn\'t have been more humbled by her gesture.I went to a makeshift food outlet in Shenzhen run by a family (the family probably lived in the establishment) simply coz they endorsed \u201cHalal\u201d on their board. It was a Friday afternoon and I could bravely order a beef stew. The order ran up to 30 yuan. While I waited for my order, the chef pointed her children to say \u2018Assalamualikum\u2019 (Muslim greeting) to me. I found this amusing as the kids looked at me with a gaze and surprise and anguish. I extended my hand to greet them and they reluctantly did. Although there were no grounds of communication, I improvised on Google translate and had a good conversation with them. They were Hui Muslim family running a makeshift restaurant. The women ran the kitchen while the men waited and kept the books.After our talk, I wanted to tip big and pulled out my wallet to pay. But they flatly refused. They said, it being a Friday, they wanted to do me good as I\'m far away from home. Their gesture moved me.I pulled out my wallet and hurriedly handed the kid a 20 Kuwaiti dinar bill. I told them it would be a memorabilia from a visitor and I\'d always remember them in my prayers. Looking at the small designation bill, they didn\'t protest much. (Little did they know!)There are several other P2P stories about how awesome Chinese are to their guests but I guess you get the picture.NOTE: The Chinese police deserve a special mention as they\'re the warmest towards a foreigner while being dead strict against their own citizens. (Had a first hand experience when I jaywalked on a busy road)So, if you\'re planning on visiting China, expect the warmest of people there and keep your heart open.Here are a few pictures for a good measure.We became good friends (coz he spoke English) and I kinda would\'ve been lost in Zhangjiajie without him. He explained a lot of historical and cultural facts from here which otherwise would\'ve lost on me. The tourist guides make shit up (his words not mine!) and he gave me a detailed account of the area\u2019s geography.This woman was delighted to see a \u2018black guy\u2019 amidst the mix and just wanted to click a picture for memories. I can\'t even remember the number of times people walked up to me asking to click pictures (felt like a celebrity !!!)Well, that was about some of the people. Now let\'s get down to the one thing that caught me by surprise.FOODBeing a Muslim, I had very few culinary options, although there\'s no complaining about the wide variety of food this country has to offer. Then, being an Indian I\'m too spoilt for food options but over here, they were a step ahead of us.Special mention for the Hunanese (Boy ! Don\'t they cook amazing food) cuisine.I couldn\'t have asked for better food than what I got in China. Even though I had to stick to fish and prawns, I\'d indulge in other food as soon as I could find a restaurant serving Halal food.Hunanese Fish.Dried fishes. (It was quite spicy)Cold Mutton pieces with peanuts? (I\u2019m sorry I forgot the name of the dish)Sichuanese Mutton Pot (with sprouts and a ton of other spices. I guess they had some bamboo in there as well)Spicy Crab (There\'s no civilised way of eating this. My hands were dirty as I crushed the crustacean in my mouth and my nose ran like flowing river coz of the spices. With my mouth and nose dribbling with juices, I gobbled every last bit of it)Mouth watering anyone ?Alright, here, how about I give you some street food !!!Quail eggs !!!Oysters !!!Crab!I wish I could taste the deer kebabs and I had a strong craving for Yak burgers but my religious duties held me back.NOTE: Chinese fruits deserve a special mention here. Fruits in China are the cheapest in the world. I mean, 2 yuan for a kilo of apple cheap. If you\'re into fruits, your daily food expenses would drop drastically.So, that was about the food. Let me fill you in on another important factor. And I guess this is probably one aspect the Chinese are leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of the world.INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENGINEERINGSo, you know most of the stuff that you buy comes from China. Well, \u2018cheap\u2019 isn\'t the only reason that companies flock there. There\'s incredible innovation in Chinese society even for the most basic of tasks.Specially their Civil Engineering accomplishments. They\'ve built some of the most amazing dams, star gazing structures, bridges, aquariums, Opera House, Temples, Tall buildings, water canals - You name it.And then you have the Infrastructure. The infrastructure is second to none in the world. I was amazed at the number of bullet trains they run, their precision, punctuality and over all service.The overnight trains too are almost always on time. Are clean, well ventilated and are damn cheap. (Europe could take some lessons here)Edit: This is going to be a lengthy answer I started writing on a whim. Need more time to frame it well. (Thanks for the appreciation in the meantime)\nI have been in Beijing for more than 15 years and not once have I felt threatened in any way. Beijing have always been a safe place from my perspective. One thing that I have come to understand is that if you are a foreigner/expat in China, most locals are nice and helpful both in big cities and small towns as well. Generally, rural China is considered safe by many Chinese. Big cities, especially Beijing and Shanghai- have their headaches - pick-pocketing mostly, but generally safe. Guandong province is notoriously known for its not-so-safe problems (Police pledge to fight gangs in Guangzhou\'s townships and villages). The hotbed of identity theft, bank card hacking and copying is probably in Dongguan city also in Guangzhou.I once got my passport stolen in Shenzhen (in 2001) when dropping off the airport bus. In those days, the stops for airport buses were not regulated at all. The moment you drop-off, you get this crowd of teenagers swarming towards you with business cards and at the same time feeling your pockets for any thing they can steal. They won\'t harm you. Luckily for me, they only wanted cash to hand back my passport. I gave them 300 yuan! Today, the airport bus stops are pretty much safer than they were before in Shenzhen.It is refreshing to note that most of these incidences hardly involve foreigners and hence we feel very safe. Guns are very hard to obtain in China so the weapons of choice are knives, swords or cleavers. The government is cracking on these items as well. One thing I gather from my experience here in China is that Chinese are extremely safety oriented. Almost all doors in virtually all apartments are security doors (they call them "burglar-resisting doors") - doors a locked consistently. Most, if not all, communities are gated with security personnel around the clock and only one or less than three points of entry and exit. Incidents of some psychos, driving through kindergartens and schools, chopping kids with swords and knives have created walled schools with no more than two points of entry/exit. At public and even private establishments rarely would you find people leaving their stuff around unattended even for a quick washroom trip. Passwords are entered after looking around and with one hand blocking the view of anyone to the number pad. People are reminded of being safe on almost every opportunity: TV stations, radios, banks, communities, markets, hospitals, ATM locales (sometimes with loud annoying speakers), and LED boards are full of warnings advising people to be aware of their belongings, bank cards, locking doors and windows etc. Posters of recent robbery are distributed (locally and very discreet, if my Chinese was not good enough I will probably not notice) to warn people and to prevent recurrences. Cars are locked consistently with double checking. I was surprised when one of my neighbors kept accompanying her son to a school that was\xa0 hardly 300 meters away. When asked, she replied it was for safety reasons (apparently another kid disappeared, mysteriously, in the same area some weeks ago). There are many in China who share her reasons.Having said that, it is still common to hear few incidents of people being robbed, mugged and even murdered. Still it is safe to say that China is generally safe for expats/foreigners.\xa0 Just don\'t work, shop, dine or drive in any Japanese branded company, shop, restaurant/hotel or car when the two countries are having tensions (China protests over Japanese activists\' visit to disputed island )!\nHere is a List of countries by intentional homicide rate.It shows that China has the 27th lowest murder rate in all 218 countries and regions. And if you take a look at the 26 ahead of China, you\'ll find most of them are very small countries and cities like Hong Kong, Singapore. Japan is really safer that China. I\'ve been to Tokyo. It really feels safe to walk on the streets even in the mid night. Murder rate in US is 4.7, while the rate in China is 1.0. I\'ve been to LA and NYC. There are so few people except in Manhattan, so I have to look back and keep aware of all around when walking on the lonely streets. Once I was in the metro in LA at about lunch time, a black young man suddenly kept shouting angrily at me. I didn\'t quite understand what the hell he was talking, but some "fuck... Chinese... fuck"things. So I had to get off the train and take the next one. But I do like San Diego, it\'s miles more beautiful and people there are more friendly.However, as China is really big and has a huge and complicated population\xa0 with 55 minority nationalities, crime rates differs in regions in China. It is commonly believed that:the south is generally safer than the north. among the top10 biggest cities, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are less safer. Shanghai may be the safest.\xa0 Yangtze River Delta is the richest, humble and well-tempered region in China. You can only see two guys in Shanghai or Hangzhou quarreling, but they rarely fight. However, people\xa0 from the northeast are more likely to solve problems with fists.Sinkiang is the only dangerous province, especially in southern Sinkiang.Some places in the poor and less educated rural areas are not safe. They\'ll not kill you, but they may steal, rob or extort. For example, some guys may suddenly jump out in front of your car, lay down and than several other gangsters will surrender you extort some $2000 for medical treatment. Of course, the price is negotiable. But if you have less than $100, they may get really angry and give you a good beating. So it\'ll be wise to always have some $200 cash in your pocket.If you are an expat, you\'ll surely be safer.\xa0 The gangsters know\xa0 foreigners have little cash, because you guys always use credit cards. And if they hurt a foreigner, they\'ll be punished more seriously by the law. So\xa0 foreign guys are really not cost-effective to commit a crime on.For girls. I must say that you really have bigger boob power than most Chinese girls. So be a little low-key, if you are alone out there in byways at night or on a crowded metro train. Rapes are very few in cities, but you may be indecently assaulted or sexually harassed.\nI\u2019ve written before about why China is safe for travelers and why anyone concerned about visiting should let those inhibitions go. In terms of violent crime, you have little to worry about in China. In terms of theft, just be smart. I\u2019ve never been pick-pocketed myself, but it does happen. If you have a backpack, wear it in the front of your body when you\u2019re on public transportation.Be minimal. I suggest a money clip and using plastic as much as possible. You won\u2019t have any noticeable wallet bulge in your pants if you do things this way. And hold tight to your phone. To avoid scams, don\u2019t talk to strangers who approach you first speaking broken English, especially in shopping districts or spaces that attract a lot of tourists. If someone comes up to you, especially if you\u2019re a man, just keep moving and don\u2019t make eye contact. It might seem rude, but it\u2019s fine and they\u2019ll go away eventually. This is all minor stuff, so don\u2019t be frightened.I teach travel Chinese to people planning to visit China, and there are three other safety concerns I do remind them of before they visit.The first is traffic safety. Though traffic law enforcement is improving in big cities, it\u2019s important that you understand that in China, pedestrians are not treated with the same respect as they might be in your home country. Here are some tips:Under no circumstances should you assume a car is going to stop for you if you are walking in the street, even if the light is green for pedestrians.Remember to look both ways before crossing a road, and to continue looking as you cross. Look out for people making left turns too.The same is true when you\u2019re dealing with cyclists or people on scooters\u2014they probably aren\u2019t going to stop if they\u2019re already in motion, and they frequently ignore traffic lights altogether. You\u2019ll see people riding their bikes and scooters on sidewalks too, so keep your eyes open even when you\u2019re not in the street.Don\u2019t walk around looking at your cell phone.The second is food safety. China also has a less-than-stellar record when it comes to food safety. Tips:Though it may be tempting, I discourage you from eating street food, as there is a chance the food is being prepared with unsafe ingredients, the most common of which is recycled oil.When eating in China, stick to restaurants that are well trafficked or well reviewed. That doesn\u2019t mean you should stick to Western restaurants, it just means going to places that have a lot of visitors.That said, don\u2019t let worries prevent you from enjoying Chinese food, as it\u2019s one of the best parts of the country (here are my favorite Chinese cuisines)! Be wise and be judicious.Take risks in trying new foods, but understand that if you eat something unclean, you might get sick. In most cases, take the risk because it\u2019s worth it and you\u2019ll be fine.Bring medication in case you do fall ill.Never drink water from the tap unless it\u2019s been boiled. Restaurants will not serve you water that\u2019s not been purified through boiling or other means, so don\u2019t worry about drinking water in restaurants!And there is no such thing as fake bottled water. If it\u2019s in a bottle and the top is sealed, you\u2019re good to go.If you\u2019re visiting for a short time, I suggest following my advice on food strictly to avoid getting sick and wasting time. If you\u2019re staying longer, you can and should relax things and try to live more like a local.Finally, there\u2019s air pollution. Air pollution is simply a part of life in China. There is no way to avoid it. This is something many foreigners worry about before visiting, but my suggestion is that unless you have a condition, try not to think about it. From what I\u2019ve seen, most foreigners do not have any problems when they come, but some do cough for a little while. Understand that since you\u2019re probably only visiting, you won\u2019t be doing any lasting damage to your body by breathing normally while you\u2019re here. I think wearing a mask is overkill unless you\u2019re exercising, but it\u2019s a personal decision.Generally, you should not have any worries traveling in China. Have a safe trip!\nChina is incredibly safe! I am a Mandarin Chinese teacher of 8 years and sometimes I feel that half my job is helping foreigners settle in China. Crime is one of the things they worry about. Within a week, their worries are out the window. But, why?HOW IS THERE SO LITTLE STREET CRIME?Don\u2019t get me wrong, there is crime in China, but you\u2019re very unlikely to be a victim. \u201cStreet crime\u201d such as robbery, assault, rape and murder are astonishingly low. In large Chinese cities, I have no fear listening to my iPod and walking home through unknown neighborhoods for two hours in the middle of the night.Travelers and expats appreciate this quality over here, yet can\u2019t seem to explain exactly why it is. Rich and poor are living together. Surely, there are plenty of \u201copportunities\u201d for crime walking down the streets. So why is China so safe?Here are a few factors that likely influence the low street crime of China:THE SHAME FACTORIn the USA, South America and elsewhere, crime is often glamorized and romanticized. Many celebrities have even been caught exaggerating the length of jail time that they have actually served. Inversely from Asian culture, this criminality builds credibility and respect in the western world, and convicts may even be seen as attractive to the opposite sex.China is different.Not only are street crimes such as thievery and assault illegal, they are also shameful in Asia. The same kind of shame that comes from an abhorrent crime in the USA may be brought on by a \u201cpetty\u201d crime such as pickpocketing (in China). The shame is not only felt by the criminal, but also by his/her family, and often by the whole village. While an American may be caught recording or boasting about their assaults on the street, no one in China would think of doing this. With little glory and romance in crime, young Asians tend to aspire towards a more \u201crespectable\u201d financially lucrative career for prestige.IT\u2019S CROWDED AND URBANChina is crowded! In the USA, people often assume \u201cmore people + less space = more confrontation\u201d. Since geographical crime statistics are often difficult to discern, this attitude is debatable.Urban activist Jane Jacobs coined the phrase \u201ceyes on the street\u201d to describe why crowded and active urban streets are likely to be safer, as crime is less likely to happen with potential witnesses and everyday heroes that could step in and help.Since Asian and Chinese cities are filled with convenience stores, shopfronts and street food vendors, there are an abundance of eyes on the street to keep one safe on the sidewalk.GENETICSThis would surely be a controversial hypothesis. Many scientists now believe that around 50% of our behavior is based on the DNA we\u2019re born with, while 50% is based on our environment. Therefore, our genes are built on experience from our evolutionary past. This is called the \u201c50-0-50\u201d rule (\u20180\u2019 actually representing parental influence).Since China was among the earliest civilizations, and still prospering today, the genetics have been passed down from generation to generation to be harmonious.RESPECT FOR AUTHORITYWith respect and adherence to authority, Chinese citizens are less likely to be a nuisance.Authority can be a government, an employer, or a family. With so many eyes on you, all with high expectations, you\u2019re more likely to grow up to be self-conscious and cooperative.LACK OF SINGLE PARENT FAMILIESTwo-thirds of young criminals in the USA come from single-parent, usually fatherless, families.In China, marriage is often based on a rational compatibility, not love or spontaneity. Couples won\u2019t marry because it sounds like an exciting idea, but rather because it makes the most sense for their future and for their respective families. Once children are born, family members generally assume a role and adhere to it. If there is stress in the family, the parents are more likely to unhappily stick it out to survive, putting others ahead of them.CONFUCIANISM\u201cIf you govern by regulations and keep them in order by punishment, the people will avoid trouble but have no sense of shame. If you govern them by moral influence, and keep them in order by a code of manners, they will have a sense of shame and will come to you of their own accord.\u201dConfucius advocated that punishment should take the form of social ostracism, rather than forced suffering. These beliefs still persist today. Confucianism is not a religion, but rather an ethical and philosophical system, which has endless applications within a society. Confucius, the bearded Yoda of ancient China, advocated relationships based on mutual respect and piety, but also strict hierarchy and adherence to law.Even in today\u2019s ever-changing Asia, Confucius still has a great influence. Increasingly, \u201cConfucian Classrooms\u201d are operating in Chinese prisons, rehabilitating inmates by understanding societal harmony and Chinese history. Today, many Chinese are living their daily lives with little knowledge of laws and little contact with the police. However, they are disciplined within their communities by the invisible laws of Confucianism.COOPERATION WITH POLICEIn the US, due to a distrust or resentment of the police, crimes often are carried out with no arrests, as it is difficult to persuade citizens to cooperate and speak to the police. In China, there is a lot of cooperation between police and citizens. This helps lead to convictions.Believe me, follow the rules and you will have a safe and pleasant trip in China!\nThis Is probably the country where I feel the safest (with Singapore).i have been living in China for a while now and never had any problem apart pickpocket one time.The only time It had been hot was with one of our supplier who didn\'t want to rework some goods he failed quality control. Otherwise I never have experienced any problem.A good thing in China is safety, get out in the middle of the night the risk to get trouble is extremely low. I have been living in Paris and in the usa and it was much more dangerous there. In Paris you can not get out your smarrphone in the metro \u2026unsafe.China may be criticized for many things regarding human right etc\u2026.but I have to admit that their strictness about crime bring for people who are behaving properly a certain piece of mind. They don\'t joke with crime. They can jail you for several months if you steal and no need a big amount of money to be sentenced 6 months (And this is not hotel style from what I heard)So generally speaking people are not playing too much when it is related to physical safety. I don\'t know if the fact I am foreigner there has an influence or not (I suppose yes a bit as I heard also some stories of Chinese people getting threaten by other Chinese at ATM or by apartment robery)What is a bit unsafe in China however are cars and bus: they never let you cross street as pedestrian and it can become very dangerous if you try to play against it.\nAbsolutely.1.Beautiful WritingWhen you fall in love with Chinese handwriting, these characters are endowed with magic power.Many people have practiced Chinese hard-tipped calligraphy since they were young.Like English, there are many different types:2.Deep meaning but with few wordsChinese is renowned for not expressing their ideas in a direct way, actually because it is related to their mother tongue.E.g:\u5982\u68a6\u4ee4\u6628\u591c\u96e8\u758f\u98ce\u9aa4\uff0c\u6d53\u7761\u4e0d\u6d88\u6b8b\u9152\u3002\u8bd5\u95ee\u5377\u5e18\u4eba\uff0c\u5374\u9053\u201c\u6d77\u68e0\u4f9d\u65e7\u201d\u3002\u77e5\u5426\uff0c\u77e5\u5426?\u3000\u5e94\u662f\u7eff\u80a5\u7ea2\u7626\u3002Last night the strong wind blew with a rain fine;Sound sleep did not dispel the aftertaste of wine.I ask the maid rolling up the screen.The same crab apple\uff0c\u201dsays she\uff0c\u201ccan be seen.\u201d\u201cBut don\u2019t you know\uff0cOh\uff0cdon\u2019t you knowThe red should languish and the green should grow?\u201dP.s.\uff1aIt kind of damage the artistic conception when it is translated into other languages.3.Interesting pronunciationWhen language learners start to learn Chinese, homophone will become a big problem. Furthermore, like Japanese, when same character combine with others, it will change the tone.\nChinese is the crystallization of the splendid culture developed continuously for over 5,000 years. As China grows stronger, more and more foreigners would like to learn Chinese and Chinese culture. Actually as a Chinese, I cannot say Chinese is the most beautiful language in the world which may look so arrogant, but there is no doubt that it can must be one of the most beautiful languages.Chinese possesses many advantages over other languages. Written Chinese is based on a set of ideogram characters. From a simple word one may obtain a wealth of information about its hidden meaning, evolution history and related phrases. Historians can decipher the damaged ancient characters carved on ox hones but no such achievement could be obtained with Latin-based languages. To express a given idea, the Chinese version is always the shortest, most accurate and most effective. Moreover, Chinese kids learn Chinese by memorizing patterns or funny pictures which stimulate curiosity and imagination. What\uff07s more, in some ways, Chinese is also easy to learn. Many foreigners speak Chinese fluently after a few years of learning.And I would like to take a TV drama that is popular these days as an example to show how broad and profound Chinese is. If you have learned Chinese, you can feel the difference in artistic conception after translated into English and some sentences will be lengthy.This drama, which is adapted from a same name novel called <\u4e09\u751f\u4e09\u4e16\u5341\u91cc\u6843\u82b1> and in English it is called \u2018Life after Life,Blooms over Blooms\u2019. And if you translate it word by word, it is called \u2018Three Lifetimes and Ten-Mile Peach Blossoms\u2019.\u6211\u81ea\u662f\u767e\u822c\u63a8\u8131\uff0c\u4ed6\u81ea\u662f\u5343\u822c\u76db\u60c5\u3002I of course, did my best to excuse myself, while he, naturally, pressed on with all graciousness and courtesy.\u7d2f\u4e16\u60c5\u7f18\u8c01\u6361\u8d77\uff0c\u8c01\u629b\u4e0b\uff0c\u8c01\u5fd8\u524d\u5c18\uff0c\u8c01\u603b\u7275\u6302\u3002\u5fc6\u5f53\u65f6\u5e74\u534e\uff0c\u8c01\u70b9\u76f8\u601d\uff0c\u8c01\u79cd\u6843\u82b1\u3002This fated love of forever and a day\u2014\u2014Who has picked it up?

\u3001\u660e\u8273\u4e0d\u53ef\u65b9\u7269\nI don\'t know if they are all beautiful.\xa0 LOL I lived in the Netherlands when I was a child and while I find the sound of Dutch to be soothing like the smell of Grandma\'s cookies, its extremely gutteral and even the Dutch joke about how it is definitely not beautiful. I feel Cantonese is also not so gentle on the ears and it has a certain glottal thing that sounds like someone is getting ready to retch.French gets a lot of play when people talk about romantic or sexy languages but I find it nasally and not so attractive to hear.\xa0 Its association with Romance is likely just do to the Roman influence and the Romantic reputation of the city of Paris itself.The soft consonant sounds of Mandarin however can be very beautiful when spoken smoothly and in a low voice.\xa0 My wife\'s spoken Mandarin varies from her "phone voice" or the way she reads aloud which just makes me crazy, to the harpy shrill, chalkboard shredding sounds of her disciplining our son when he gets out of hand.\xa0 But I imagine who the speaker and their mood and tone has a pretty strong effect on the beauty or flinch factor of many languages.Still Im pretty sure you can rank them and Mandarin definitely falls higher on the chart of linguistic aesthetics than Dutch, Cantonese or most Arabic dialects....at least to my ears.\nMandarin is most suitable for modern Chinese.While Cantonese is more suitable for traditional peoms.Wu language is commonly recognised as the most beautiful language, sounding like opera.The harshest should be one of some unknown Hunan dialects, using it, even a romantic private conversation between lovers could sound like a intensive altercation.\nIs there persecution of Muslims in China? No.Is there a crack down in XinJiang Autonomous Region against separatists and terrorists creating violent unrest and murdering citizens. Yes.The crack down is not persecution of Muslims by China.Several \u201ctraditional Islamic separatist movements that have existed in China for some time,\u201d such as the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM), a Uighur separatist organization that China and the United States have labeled a terrorist organization. Beijing often blames Xinjiang unrest on the ETIM, while maintaining that Uighurs enjoy \u201cunprecedented religious freedom\u201d in China.XinJiang Autonomous Region is north of Tibet and touches Afghanistan and Russia with larger borders with India, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and the country of Mongolia.The Soviet Union with Russia and the Soviet- stans fueled the unrest in XinJiang and fought a border war with China there in the \u201860\u2019s.Now it is Radical Islam and ISIS and \u2026 whoever.XinJiang now has hundreds of fighters with ISIS in Iraq and Syria who have been heard to say, \u201cWhen we come home, the streets will run red with Han blood.\u201dThe Han\u2019s are the majority in China, and in my \u2018lao laowai Intenational Consultant working on the high risk business side with the high risk security side guys\u2019 opinion, China absolutely does protect ethnic minorities. Yes \u2026 protects minorities.One China.China does not persecute Muslims.A crack down is happening.It\u2019s kind of like Calexit for the People\u2019s Republic of California and Don\u2019t Mess with The Republic of Texas which \u2018has the only right to secede\u2019.Muslim separatists and ISIS in China and Calexit and Texas? It\u2019s not going to happen in China, and it\u2019s not going to happen in America.\nPersecution?They enjoy much more privileges than general Han people.\u201cDid you hear of Halal tissue? \u201dHalal toilet for Muslims only.A bus dedicated to Muslims(it runs on the road without a license plate).Counters only for Hui people in a supermarket.Wards for Muslims in a hospital.Halal salt for MuslimsHui people enjoy 10 bonus points in civil service examination in Gansu, the same as the families of the policemen who died in line of duty.\u201cPreach Islamic doctrine to 1.3 billion Chinese people\u201dI think some Chinese Muslims are more devoted than many Arabians in Middle East or those so-called Muslims in Europe. At least you seldom hear of things like Halal tissue or Halal salt. Though a number of them don\u2019t read much Quran, they would get pissed when they hear the word \u201cpig\u201d or see other people eating pork to emphasize their Muslim identity. Last year, two professors proposed that it\u2019s necessary to legislate to manage the Halal industry, and the people who counterfeit Halal food would be sentenced to imprisonment for life or even death. Of course many of them enjoy alcoholic drinks somtimes, not sure if they have invented Halal alcohol, but anti-pork seems to be the ultimate goal in their life. Well, in China, there are other religions that have food prohibition. Buddhists are vegeterians; Taoists cannot eat beef, fish, dogs and geese, but non of them asked to set up dedicated canteens in campus or a law to manage things like \u201cBuddhist food\u201d or \u201cTaoist food\u201d.And when you are offended or blackmailed by these Muslims, even the police would persuade you to compromise, because it\u2019s not politically correct to disrupt \u201cnational unity\u201d.Maybe living in a non-Shariah country is a persecution to them. I appeal to Saudi Arabia to accept these mawali and offer them a Shariah life.\nYes, but the Chinese government isn\u2019t persecuting them because they\u2019re Muslims but because of the demands for secession. See, there are ethnic groups in the west of China who are known as Uyghurs and other Turkic peoples. They happen to be Muslims and they have been wanting to separate from China for a while due to cultural differences. China\u2019s government has a strong and widely popular One China Policy which exists and is being propagated to keep China united, especially when many of China\u2019s enemies want the country to be divided *cough* America *cough*. So what is happening is that in order to stop the Uyghurs from forming or organising some sort of rebellion, they are closely monitoring them and restricting certain rights of theirs.I really disagree with this, however that is the reality. Yes, there may be cases where Uyghurs are persecuted for being Muslims, but most of the time it\u2019s because they are seen as a threat to stability in Western China, nothing to do with their faith.\nNo, of course not. On the contrary, there is only persecution of non-Muslims in China.The so-called \u5b97\u6559\u4fe1\u4ef0\u81ea\u7531 (freedom of religious belief) and \u5c11\u6570\u6c11\u65cf\u4f18\u5f85\u653f\u7b56 (preferential policies for minor ethnicities) in China is really \u201ctoo much\u201d that it even persecutes the major ethnicity - Han Chinese people. There are halal salts, Muslim-only toilets, halal foods anywhere in China, and even Muslim-only counters in some shops. Han Chinese people have no such preferential policies, but Muslims have!!!!This is the reason why there is a black humour called \u201cthe People\u2019s Islamic State of China\u201d.\nThere is something you need to know before understanding China\u2019s issues:What the CCP government suppresses is not freedom of speech, or criticizing the government and public figures. Instead, it is radicalism that will be strictly inspected and controlled.It applies to all Chinese citizens. Many Muslims live in the border areas so that they do not know what the Chinese Han also face. They can easily refer to this as Islamic persecution. Also, because some Muslim separatists are under the shelter of some foreign governments outside of China (e.g. Turkey and the US), they do have some chances to speak about the situation, which of course factors into their own benefit.When I compared these to the situation and different stories I have personally encountered elsewhere in the world, I believe that persecution of Muslims in China does not exist in general, but any separatism and fundamentalism in the name of religious freedom will certainly be repressed instantaneously and crudely.(Sometimes there can be tensions in those precautionary measures\u2026.)\nThe question is based on incorrect assumption. British didn\u2019t pull out of Hong Kong because they felt it was morally wrong. If anything they should have been morally obligated to stay as majority of Hong Kong residents wanted status quo.Now, let me explain why it\u2019s unreasonable to expect China to get out of Tibet.Tibet is not a colony. It\u2019s an annexed territory, and Tibetans are Chinese citizens. Furthermore, Han Chinese now outnumber Tibetans in Tibet. Most westerners think China annexed Tibet in 20th century, but Qing had direct administration in Tibet for over 200 years prior. Tibet\u2019s independence movement in late 19th century, which was sponsored by British (to put Tibet under its influence), was never accepted by Chinese government. 200 years is a long time\u2026 when do you think the U.S. will return the land to the native Americans? or California/Texas back to Mexico? Furthermore, if China should be let go of Tibet, Xinjiang should be let go as well. Inner Mongolia should go to Mongolia, and Manchus should be allowed to secede as well.Green and Pink area are territories annexed by China under Manchu rule. If Tibet is a fair game, so are rest of the territories.More than half of China\u2019s territory gone\u2026 Factually speaking Tibet has just as much rights as any other territories in the world that wants to secede from their host nation, no more, no less. Yet, somehow western world is incapable of using the same yardstick on China. This is what\u2019s bothering the fuck out of Chinese people.How many former states in the following list should be given their land back?List of former sovereign statesAnnexation and secession of countries are dirty businesses, but it happens and has caused tremendous good as well as bad in history, it\u2019s not a simple matter of right or wrong. Furthermore, about 29% of Tibetans support independence from China based on survey conducted by Tibetan exile government, that doesn\u2019t sound like a majority to me. In fact, it\u2019s less than the percentage of Scottish people who wanted to secede from United Kingdom in the last independence vote in 2014 where 44% of Scotish wanted independence. Yet, I don\u2019t see Alex Salmond winning a Nobel peace prize\u2026 (For those of you who don\u2019t know him, Alex is the former Scottish First Minister and one of the biggest proponent for Scottish independence.)Scottish independence referendum, 2014Tibetan exiles discuss China policy | The NationalNow, how silly would it be if Chinese government and its media propped up Lakota native American tribe that currently has an active separatist movement, and proclaim that America should give its states, North and South Dakota and Montana, to the Lakota people? Western countries\u2019 support of Tibetan independence movement is largely viewed in the same light in China.\nFrom 600 years ago, when Yuan Dynasty first appointed Dalai Lamas as the spiritual leaders in Tibet to PRC\u2019s peaceful liberation in 1951. Tibet was NEVER an independent country. As long as the name \u201cTibet\u201d existed, it has always been part of China. No countries in the world recognizes Tibet as a country.Not forced into incorporation (Panchan Lama, Mao Zedong, Dalai Lama, 1951)The signing of Seventeen Point Agreement for the Peaceful Liberation of TibetBefore 1951, Tibet lamas were theocratic rulers of the Tibet Autonomous Region. In millions of Tibetan, 200k of the population were monks. Other were slaves and serfs. When the bayonets of the State\'s Liberation Army in Tibet, the last of all on Earth, slavery was abolished.After the liberation of Tibet.....Tibetan population in Lhasa Administered Tibet has increased from 1.2 million in 1951 to almost 3 million in 2007.Infant mortality has dropped from 43% in 1950 to 0.66% in 2000Life expectancy has risen from 35.5 years in 1950 to 67 years in 2000Death rate of women in childbirth: 5,000/100,000 in 1951, 175/100,000 in 2010Tibet has 22,500 km of highways, all built since 1950The GDP of Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) today is 30 times that before 1950PRC has spent more than 8 billion yuan subsidizing farmers children in Tibet to attend boarding schoolsIlliteracy rate was 90% in 1951, today 98.8% children enrolled in public schoolsPRC offered 15 years of free education, most classes taught in the Tibetan language, only mathematics, physics, and chemistry are taught in Chinese.The list goes on.........Beijing is clearly a better choice for Tibet!\nBritain forced Qing empire to cede a piece of its terriory after 1st Opium War, the Hong Kong island.Then in another treaty, Qing ceded Kowloon peninsula.Then in another treaty, Qing leased \u201cNew-Territories\u201d to Britain for 99 years.So China have righteous claim over Hong Kong, when it decided to tear up these unjust treaties.Xizang was once a powerful kingdom untill 10th century named Tubo, intermarry and fight with midlander\u2019s Tang dynasty generation by generation. But it collapsed several decades before the fall of Tang, then never again re-build after shattered itself into pieces.Xizang have never been any form of independent country since then. Not even close, after Qing seized fully control over it in late 17th century. The emperor assign its theocratic leader from candidates the local offers, the empirial government have garrison and governor in Lhasa.Qing had never ever cede Xizang to any other country. Xizang have never declared independence even after the fall of Qing or in the chaotic ROC era. \u201cCan\u2019t regain effective governing\u201d does not mean lost sovereignty, just think Aleppo under IS control still belongs to Syria.So, Xizang is part of China.The British could keep Hong Kong in their hand after 1949, only thanks to Mao spared them. CCP decided PLA should to stop at the shore of Shenzhen River, the border of New-Territories, intending to save a small window to get access to western world.Current British government performed quite pragmatic, as they already learnt enough how tough and bad-ass CCP would be when facing foreign occupation after HMS Amethyst Incident on April 1949. London recognized PRC as the sole legal regime of China in 1950 in return of the favor.That 99-year rent treaty was only used as an excuse to support this trade, have no constraint force, just indicating the tacit would end by that time.When it comes to July 1982, Thacher paid a visit to Beijing seeking to grasp the Pearl of East for longer. She once had quite high confidence because of recent victory in Malvinas, but very soon she got stomped over by Deng Xiaoping\u2019s might.\u201cIf we can\u2019t take back Hong Kong after half a century the People\u2019s Republic have been found, the government shall be nothing better than late-Qing court, Chinese leaders would be remembered as Li Hongzhang! (who signed the treaty rent New-Territories)\u201d\u201cWe Chinese is a bit poor. But once at war, more than enough of us don\u2019t fear death.\u201d\u201cReach an agreement or not is inessential. Anyway, if not offered other option, China shall start unilateral re-unite progress in 1984 .\u201dSoon Thacher compromised, offered Kowloon and New-Territores to China, only try keep Hong Kong island. Deng answered then he gonna cut every single kind of supply, food, water, electricity, etc. towards Hong Kong. China was willing to suffer the decline of trading, to force UK feed its colony on its own.Britain surrendered to China\u2019s determination and power. The entire Sino-Brit Negotiation about HK had nothing to do about the final result, only the protocol of handling-over.So basiclly, Britain got kicked out of HongKong, after China threw a crystal-clear BOW or DIE ULTIMATUM at Mrs PM\u2019s face. Knowing have 0 chance, Brits conceded, chose to negotiate how gentlely China should be, while carving the stolen Pearl out of Queen\u2019s crown.Try to force China do such a compromise, by any means you can imagine, just let anyone try it.Last time someone do such thing was CIA in 1950s. It trained fled aristocrats and their loyal couriers in the mountains of Colorado, then permeate these agents into Xizang, in attempt to incite an uprise.Given formidable terrain and altitude, the ethnic identity, very small number of PLA garrison, CIA believe that they were assured to prevail.It worked, the largest revolt happened after 1949 outnumbering local PLA 5 to 1. Not very long before the rebellion got literally annihilated, mostly by former serfs and slaves withhold fanatical support to central government.Now Xizang get railway, highway, electricity, obligated education, healthcare, billions of annual subsidies from rich provinces. The living standard of Zang people dwarfing any other country on Himalaya.But, still, you can continue what CIA gave up 50 years ago, will ya?\nTibet acquired Buddhism from China, having previously ignored it. The founder was a Chinese princess married to a Tibetan king - quite a common pattern for missionary religions to spread.Whenever Tibet had a government, it recognised the Emperor of China as overall ruler. See How Tibet Emerged Within the Wider Chinese Power-Political Zone.The Dalai Lamas have an undeserved reputation. The reality was rather squalid, see The Strange History of the Dalai Lamas.\nHong Kong has been one part of China for hundreds of years, until the British robbed it from the weak Qing Dynasty government of China and made HK its colony. It\u2019s right for Americans to be free from the UK, so it\u2019s right for HK to be free from the UK, too.As you see, the old Empire of Great Britain let all its old colonies gain their independence after World War 2. So HK is no exception.And most important, it\u2019s more of a contractual thing than just a noble act. The Qing Dynasty and Britain signed a \u201crenting\u201d(HK) contract of 99 years, and in 1997 it was up, according to the paper China and Britain signed a century ago. So it\u2019s time to return.Another thing you need to know is China is neither like Europe or the USA, we have a long tradition of unification, even more than a thousand years.Europe had many kingdoms for hundreds of years, so it formed a few countries now. The USA was initially 13 indepedent colonies willing to be united. But we formed a single united kingdom for the first time 2200 years ago, and the tradition went on and strenghtened itself. Even though there are short breaks and civil wars in this long long period, most of the time it\u2019s a united nation. So we share the idea of one nation very naturally, and could not bear tearing apart the country.In fact, even though politicians have great powers in China, none of them dare split the country. It\u2019s a severe crime for any political leader, far more serious than really big scandals and corruption.As for Tibet, there was slavery before the CCP entered. I have a few friends who are Tibetans, but they wouldn\u2019t think it\u2019s a good idea to be \u201ca single country\u201d. You should go to Tibet and see what common people really think instead of just listening to a few comments here. They could not represent fellow Tibetans, like IS could not represent all the muslims. Maybe they just want slavery back and be slave owners again.\nMost countries have Han Chinese, so in a sense, most countries are culturally close to China.However, if what you mean is which nation is culturally closer to China, then that\u2019s an easier answer. Nation is identified as \u201ca large aggregate of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory.\u201d So in a sense, nation means groups of people with common cultures.So that will leave Han Chinese, Yamato Japanese, Koreans, and Kinh Vietnamese. Namely, Mainland China/Taiwan/foreign Chinese, Japan/foreign Japanese, North/South Korea/foreign Koreans, Vietnam/foreign Vietnamese. Unsurprisingly, they\u2019re the only ones with Chinese-derived names in English: Chin(ese) \u79e6, Japan(ese) \u65e5\u672c, Korea(n) \u9ad8\u9e97, Vietnam(ese) \u8d8a\u5357. In short, they\u2019re collectively called the Sinosphere, or nations within Chinese cultural sphere of influence.Notice I don\u2019t have Singapore in any of them, simply because Singapore is a highly Westernized country that aims to have blends of multiple cultures, so while Han Chinese is the largest population, that doesn\u2019t mean Singapore is culturally Chinese. In fact, it\u2019s a very big mixture between British, Chinese, Indian, and Malay cultures.Also, I will be talking about traditional cultures, not modern culture, because in modern culture, everyone is culturally similar since globalization connects everyone. Majority of humans in this Earth now wears modern clothing, namely a shirt and pants/skirt. So everyone looks the same and culturally similar as well.LanguageThese 4 nations have a history of Chinese influence in their languages. They all have at least 50\u201360% Chinese-derived loanwords, usually for complex terms. The most common names for individuals in these nations are Chinese loanwords, and only Japanese have a lot of native Japanese names (but mostly still written in Kanji). An example for Chinese loanwords is the word for student (I will be using Cantonese and Mandarin for comparison, since Mandarin evolves very far from Middle Chinese of Tang dynasty, when majority of these loanwords were loaned to other countries).Mandarin: \u5b66\u751f xu\xe9sh\u0113ngCantonese: \u5b78\u751f hok6 saang1Korean: \u5b78\u751f (\ud559\uc0dd) hagsaengVietnamese: \u5b78\u751f ho\u0323c sinhJapanese: \u5b66\u751f (\u304c\u304f\u305b\u3044) gakuseiAnother example is the term \u201cworld.\u201dMandarin: \u4e16\u754c sh\xecji\xe8Cantonese: \u4e16\u754c sai3 gaai3Korean: \u4e16\u754c (\uc138\uacc4) segyeVietnamese: \u4e16\u754c th\u1ebf gi\u1edbiJapanese: \u4e16\u754c (\u305b\u304b\u3044) sekaiAll these 4 nations also used Chinese characters as their official writing systems (Chinese Hanzi, Vietnamese Han Tu, Korean Hanja, Japanese Kanji)China (Hanzi)Japan (Kanji + Kana)Korea (Hanja + Hangeul)Vietnam (Han Tu + Chu Nom)ArchitectureThe Sinosphere\u2019s architectural designs and elements are all derived from Chinese architecture. Japan borrowed from Tang China, Korea borrowed from Tang to Ming China, Vietnamese borrowed from Tang to Qing China. However, the most visible cultures are probably cultural borrowings from the last dynasties, so Japan would be Tang-influence, Korea would be Ming-influence, and Vietnam would be Ming-Qing influence.[China (top left) - Japan (top right) - Korea (bottom left) - Vietnam (bottom right)]Traditional ArchitecturesImperial Palace GatesTemples in snowCovered bridgesTraditional GardensInterlocked wooden brackets (Dougong)FashionChina was like the America of ancient East Asia. Everyone wanted to follow their fashion. Therefore, they all adopted Hanfu (\u6f22\u670d). However, as times passed, although the Chinese influence was still there, they all evolved into something distinct. Japan has Wafuku (\u548c\u670d), Korea has Hanbok (\u97d3\u670d), and Vietnam has Viet Phuc (\u8d8a\u670d). Each dynasty differed, however, but the final attires that are now used to represent each nation is distinct and is very beautiful.Han dynasty Quju vs. Edo period FurisodeMing dynasty Aoqun vs. Joseon dynasty Chima JeogoriROC period Qipao vs. French period Ao Dai (although Ao Dai was derived from Ming Aoqun, it bears resemblance to Qipao due to both nations being Westernized at around the same time, meaning similar sense of fashion) and Ming dynasty Aoqun vs. Nguyen dynasty Ao Nhat BinhJust to give a comparison, here is historical illustrations of each nation\u2019s fashion at the same time periods: (from top to bottom) Ming China, Le Vietnam, Joseon Korea, and Edo Japan (Edo Japan was the only one not influenced by Ming dynasty and retained Tang influence, so it looked quite distinct from the rest).BeliefAll the Sinospheric cultures have a history of the Three Teachings, or Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. Buddhism is present in all 4 cultures and is deeply embedded in ancient and modern times. Taoism has faded, but its influence is present in every nation\u2019s values and native religions, namely Chinese Taoism (duh), Japanese Shintoism, Korean Muism, and Vietnamese Dao Mau. Confucianism, while not a religion, is a cultural practice and teaching that is present in all 4 nations.Confucius depictions in China (top left), Vietnam (top right), Japan (bottom left), and Korea (bottom right)Buddhist depictions in China (top left), Korea (top right), Japan (bottom left), and Vietnam (bottom right)Taoist temple in JapanTaoist temple in VietnamTaoist symbol in South Korean flagThose are the three main ones that I believe defines Sinospheric cultural bonds. However, if you want to see some more minor traditional elements, here they are.Traditional arts were all influenced in some way by Chinese arts.Each nation has their own versions of mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival that was a tradition for centuries.Speaking of mooncakes, each nation also celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival for centuries.Speaking of Mid-Autumn Festival, each nation celebrated Lunar New Year for centuries (although Japan abolished it for a Western calendar, they still celebrate Lunar calendar holidays). Therefore, they all have the Chinese 12 Zodiacs, but with a few twists. Because they followed the calendar, they also had East Asian age reckoning, although that concept is slowly fading away.And because each nation celebrates Lunar New Year or a derivation of it (*coughJapancough*), each nation has their own style of giving out money in Lunar New Year.Each nation\u2019s traditional calligraphy were all derived from Chinese calligraphy.Each nation also had their version of female entertainers that sold entertainment for a living (including selling your own bodies sometimes). They were Chinese Huakui (top left), Vietnamese Dao Nuong (top right), Japanese Geisha (bottom left), and Korean Gisaeng (bottom right).The Sinosphere also had centuries-long tradition of chopstick use, following Chinese customs.They also had centuries-long tradition of tea cultures, all derived from China.Politically, they were all a form of monarchy (although they all had feudalistic governments at one point, especially Japan) that followed the Chinese model. The picture below illustrates the royal and imperial fashions of royal and imperial concubines and wives of Emperors and Kings of the last non-Westernized periods.Also, coincidentally, all 4 nations had a history of civil war between 3 divisions. The picture below illustrates the images of the victors, with 3 divisions\u2019 names in black, and the victors\u2019 names in white. These civil wars were called Three Kingdoms Period of China (top left), Tay Son Rebellion of Vietnam (top right), Three Kingdoms Period of Korea (bottom left), and Sengoku Period of Japan (bottom right).There are more, like traditional styles of sitting (Japanese and Koreans sat on the floor like Chinese during Han to Tang dynasties, Vietnamese sat on raised platforms like Chinese in all dynasties, and while Chinese did all of those, they preferred tables and chairs in the late periods), Tang-style poetry, burning of incense, medicines, food preparation practices, usages of Four Symbols, Four Benevolent Animals, and Four Gentlemen in art, centuries-long lion dances derived from China, music and dance influences from China, Chinese influences in traditional martial arts, how the last eras of all 4 nations were Neo-Confucians, how all 4 cultures had their versions of the Cinderella fairy tale, the 5 Elements, how the Four Beauties and Four Classic Novels of China influences ancient and modern Sinosphere cultures, weapon styles influenced by Chinese styles, wine variants, cuisines (specifically rice and certain noodles), traditional court operas, traditional masks, usages of mandarin squares for government officials in ancient times (for Japan, it was only in Ryukyu).Even in modern times, the Sinosphere continues to influence one another and the world. Anime influences the entire world, and now Chinese and Korean animation are Japanese-influenced. Manhwa, Manhua, and Manhoa are also influenced by Manga. Jdrama also influenced Kdrama and Cdrama, and Kdrama now influences Cdrama. Manga and anime continues to be cultural inspirations for Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese films. Hallyu influences pop music of Vietnam, China, and Japan (who originally influenced Kpop). Chinese influenced Korea and Vietnam through Cantonese films from Hongkong. Sadly, though, Vietnam hasn\u2019t influenced anything yet \xaf\\_(\u30c4)_/\xaf.If anyone wants to see reconstructed traditional clothing of Vietnam, please visit my blog. Vietnam is the least-known culture within the Sinosphere, after all, so everyone automatically associates it with the rest of Southeast Asia and Indosphere, when it\'s not culturally related to any of them.\nJapan is like Tang Dynasty China.South Korea is like Ming Dynasty China.North Korea is like Mao Dynasty China.Vietnam taken on much of Chinese culture since Han Dynasty.Taiwan is what an enlightened pan-Asian union may look like.Hong Kong is heavily influenced by southern Chinese culture with a hint of Brit.Singapore is like Hong Kong, with Peranakan aka Malay aka SEAsian influence.Macao or Macau is like Hong Kong, but Portuguese rather than British.The USSR was the model of the ROC and PRC for its nationalities policies.Italians are really similar to Chinese. That was the first impression I got in Italy.\nI\'d say Vietnam. Vietnam is more \u201cChinese\u201d than any other countries in the world, including Singapore and Taiwan ( if you consider it as a country). Korea once was very similar to China, but then Japan colonized it, which made them a little bit \u201cJapanese\u201d. And then China went through a communist revolution, and then a capitalist reform. Hence, neither North Korea nor South Korea is quite similar to China anymore.Vietnam on the other hand, share a Confucian tradition with China; they also went through a communist revolution (and the communist party is still in power), and eventually they also had a capitalist reform. Both Vietnam and China are very populated countries with low GDP per capita. The only thing that makes Vietnam less \u201cChinese\u201d is the fact that Vietnam had been colonized by France for a long time, and thus French culture has a great influence in Vietnam.\nNone. The country which is culturally closet to China is China itself. You might want to take North Korea, South Korea and Japan into consideration. But these East Asian countries are all quite different with China in terms of social culture, although they were influenced by the Chinese civilization.It all depends how you define \u201cculturally similar\u201d. If you think European countries are similar with one another more or less, then China, Koreas and Japan could also be considered to be similar with one another more or less. But my four years\u2019 working experience in Germany, France and Switzerland has made me realize that European countries are actually quite different with one another in social culture. The way works in Germany will never work in France, not at all. The people who support European Union would tell you \u201cwe share a lot more similarities than you think\u201d. This may not be wrong. But you could say the same thing towards China, Koreas, and Japan. According to my experience, Germany and France are not culturally very similar with each other. By the same logic, I wouldn\u2019t say North Korea, South Korea and Japan are culturally very similar with China.\nSingapore, since the population is 3 quarter Chinese and many are still able to speak their dialects. It is closer to the southern China though. Also, parts of other countries with a high Chinese concentration is also very similar to China, for example, Queens, New York.Otherwise, I would say Korea and the Japan are the closest without being actually Chinese. Then a close third would be Vietnam, which was influenced heavily by China in history.Of course I have to be politically correct to ignore Taiwan :D\nWarning! I have included some stomach churning photographs.The Nanking Massacre was not an anomaly. It was standard wartime behavior for the Japanese army in WWII.I look upon their behavior with teeth clenching horror.Here is a list of countries invaded, conquered, or occupied by Japan before or during WWII:ChinaSoviet UnionMongoliaVietnamCambodiaLaosUnited StatesMalaysia (UK)SingaporeHong Kong (UK)Dutch East Indies (Indonesia)Timor (Portugal)Australia by seaNew Zealand by seaBurma (Myanmar )IndiaBritish New Guinea (Papua)The PhilippinesAndaman and Nicobar Islands (India)Straits Settlements (Singapore)Brunei (UK)Nauru (Australia)Guam (USA)Imphal (India)Wake Island (USA)Gilbert and Ellice Islands (UK)Christmas island (Australia)ManchuriaTaiwanKoreahttp://www.japan-talk.com/jt/new...Their behavior was generally barbaric. The Japanese were one of the most racist societies in history right up there with and possibly worse than Nazi Germany. They believed their superiority gave them to right to treat their inferiors any way they wanted and they left a swath of 10 million or more civilian bodies in their wake.Civilians were shot, bayoneted, beheaded, mutilated, buried alive, raped in a frenzy of sadistic butchery across Asia wherever they went. Mustard gas and biological agents were used. Medical experiments were done. Pregnant women had their fetuses cut out and both left to die in pools of blood. POWs were murdered, starved, worked to death, used for bayonet practice, decapitated, and eaten.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ja...https://www.hawaii.edu/powerkill...The Japanese have a long history of insincere apologies. Part of the reason is the populace is protected from the facts about their WWII atrocities and are actually encouraged to think of themselves as the victims in the war. Sometimes so outrageous is this denial that there are accusations that reports of atrocities are an American attempt to coverup their own warcrimes.http://time.com/5546/japanese-nh...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Na...http://www2.biglobe.ne.jp/remnan...If the Japanese were to genuinely regret and express this regret like the Germans did then I think they could look forward to being accepted back into the community of Asian nations. But instead their denials continue unabated so the tension persists.Captured photos. Like the Germans the Japanese liked to record their atrocities:Burying alive was standard operating procedure for prisoner disposalNankingBeheadings were done for sportNankingBayonet practiceI have not included the most gruesome photos.\nI am an American. I have never been to Asia.I have no bias to either country, other than a love of both cultures. Or I didn\u2019t, until I learned about this.The massacre, aptly named \u201cThe Rape of Nanjing\u201d has been called a genocide because it was a slaughter of civilians without any reason\u2013The city had already been captured.And not many, but still too many, Japanese people are literally denying any such \u201cconflict\u201d. Everyone else just calls it an exaggeration or demands \u201cproof\u201d. Some of the Japanese do acknowledge it.You know how, in the Western world, Holocaust deniers cause disgust in the regular population? This is like if the entire country of Germany continued to deny the Holocaust, or called it an exaggeration.But like, there are also photographs of young corpses with bayonets sticking out of vaginas littered across the city. Women and little girls were systematically raped, household by household, and then murdered. Children\'s genitals were sliced open to make rape easier for the Japanese soldiers. A pregnant woman was resisting rape, so she was disemboweled, fetus removed, then raped after death. This is all eyewitness accounts by locals and foreigners, film, photographic, primary source evidence.And of course the 100 heads contest, which turned into decapitating 150 Chinese civilians.Who cares if it was 300,000 people or fewer?The Nanjing Massacre is by far the most fucked up thing Japan has ever done, and they literally have memorialized some of the criminals responsible.Japan needs to apologize. I read the Wikipedia article, saw some of these pictures, and I want to call into work in the morning. So I can throw up. And cry.It was like Genocide for Fun.Edit: What a response\u2026!Many have noted the culture of shame and honor in Japan, and how admitting to these atrocities/ \u201capologizing\u201d would be impossible in that context. I see your point.But an apology? It acknowledges that these things happened. Because currently, the war crimes aren\u2019t really acknowledged. That\u2019s how things get omitted from schools, and textbooks. That\'s how Southeast Asians and Koreans and the Chinese stay bitter.When bad things like this happen, when humans do terrible things to other humans, it must be taught. So it does not happen again. We must learn history, as an example of what not to do.Don\u2019t bitch that the Chinese government uses the massacre as propaganda to distract the people and keep them in line. If Japan had apologized, they wouldn\'t be able to use it.It still happened. And more people in Western countries should learn about it. Why not, just because it didn\'t happen to us? What about Rwanda? What about the Balkans, Cambodia? The famines in the USSR?My opinion of Japan has changed drastically. Before, since we fucking nuclear attacked them and somehow have a good relationship now, I respected what I considered a modern and free country. But this totally changed my mind.I still have no hard feelings toward Japanese people, since obviously it\'s not their fault, and just like the rest of Asia, I can\'t live without Japanese shit.Edit 2: Stop trying to invalidate my answer because I\'m American and \u201cnot aware of our own mistakes\u201d. You are making that shit up- I do know what we\'ve done. This question is not about America, so sit the fuck down. I\'m unenthusiastically American. And I\'m sick of my nationality being used to cheapen what I think about the Nanjing Massacre.\nMost of them probably aren\'t aware of it. Those that are aware of it probably each have their own opinion of it, but my guess is that the majority of them think it was a horrific act.There really isn\'t much to think about it other than being shocked and horrified at the horrible depths to which human beings can sink.\nI\'m from Nanjing. Conincidently I talked about this massacre with a Japanese person years ago.My English is not that good:)))) hope you can understand what I\'m writing lol.By the end of this answer I\'ll post some pictures about that.I was born in Nanjing. I\'m now a freshman in Nanjing .Remembering Nanjing Massacre is really necessary for everyone from this city.In Nanjing, since I was born, I\'ll always remember that date: 13th December,1937\u2014-known as the biginning of Nanjing Massacre for Chinese people.Since I was in primary school, until now, in 13th December, the alarm rings all over the city, reminding people of that day. People will always stand still, whatever they are doing, they just stand, and mourning for the victims of Nanjing Massacre. It\'s really awesome and sometimes I\'m proud of that because We are always trying to remember the history.There\'s a memorial museum for the victims of Nanjing Massacre. It presents people with some photos, books, weapons or something else related to that massacre\u2026there are also some bones of..victims.There\'s a really huge wall inside the museum, carved with names of victims.MORE THAN 300,000 names. There\'s another equipment in the museum, it is called \u201cseven drops of water\u201d Every seven second water drops, resembling one person died because of the slaughter.Whenever I visit that place I feel sad and angry.The huge wall. On the left and right side carved with names of victims. In the middle the screen shows faces of victims.Bones of victimsAnother place is near my home where Japanese people made a big slaughter. It\'s near YangZi River.What impressed me most is that one rainy day I rode a bike on the road. Studdenly I found a bunch of flower in front of the monument. The flower is fresh.There are always some people remembering the history.Another small incident is when I was in high school. One Monday, one history teacher in my school told us about her story. Her family was ruined by that massacre and a lot of people died. She lived. Then she cried..she\'s chocking with sobs\u2026It\u2019a really tough for those Nanjinger who went through the terrible massacre and will always be a nightmare..There are less than 100 survivals. But we will never let the truth and history scatter in the wind.I\u2019m not saying that we should hate Japan. On the contrary we need to learn a lot from the massacre:The corrupt and lag of China is the reason why we are killed and massacred. We need to be strong.We are not to hate. Hate is about the former generation. What we should know is that peace is a good thing. We should forget about hate and cherish peace.We should remember the history and learn from the past. We need to remember because both for China and Japan we are avoiding making such mistakes.Finally here\u2019a what Japanese say about Nanjing Massacre\nYou asked me to answer this question, but I know my answer is going to disappoint you and this is an honest answer as A Japanese. I had been hesitating to answer after getting A2A, because I just remember the "word" Nanjing Massacre.\xa0\xa0 Textbooks and education differs by generation.\xa0 I am in my 30\'s and don\'t remember what I learned in junior high or high schools,\xa0 and for me back then, history was just a subject that I had to pass tests, and I was just busy memorizing what happened in which year.\xa0 This is just my experience and I don\'t know about other genetations, but I think schools focused more about telling us what happend between the US and Japan.\xa0 I remember that I saw some videos about the bombing in Japan and attack on Pearl Harbor.\xa0 This is just what I think, but as for Japanese, only people who are interested in history know well about Nanjin Massacre.I am a person who was wondering why Japanese government has to keep apolozing Chinese and South Korean governments.I started using Quora several months ago and Quora users\' answers are helping me learn about what Japan did.\nWarning!

I had been hesitating to answer after getting A2A, because I just remember the "word" Nanjing Massacre.\xa0\xa0 Textbooks and education differs by generation.\xa0 I am in my 30\'s and don\'t remember what I learned in junior high or high schools,\xa0 and for me back then, history was just a subject that I had to pass tests, and I was just busy memorizing what happened in which year.\xa0 This is just my experience and I don\'t know about other genetations, but I think schools focused more about telling us what happend between the US and Japan.\xa0 I remember that I saw some videos about the bombing in Japan and attack on Pearl Harbor.\xa0 This is just what I think, but as for Japanese, only people who are interested in history know well about Nanjin Massacre.I am a person who was wondering why Japanese government has to keep apolozing Chinese and South Korean governments.I started using Quora several months ago and Quora users\' answers are helping me learn about what Japan did.\nWOMAN IN CHINAWoman in China is secure, enjoys her freedom and works very hard in whatever field she is working into. China, as Asia\u2019s biggest economy and manufacturing giant, no doubt has a very strong and dedicated female participation in this achievement. \xa0One can see Chinese woman working almost in every field like shops, cabs, hotels, restaurants, bus drivers, agents, taxi drivers besides they are in traditional sectors like Education, Army, Hospitals and in factories manufacturing almost everything in the world. \xa0This was a pleasant experience to see them enjoying their freedom, as they almost seems to be in total control in hospitality sector of Chinese Railways, Chinese Airports /Planes/Airports , Chinese Bus Stands and they work shoulder to shoulder with male counterparts without any visible discomfort. \xa0During my stay of two weeks and travelling extensively from Shanghai to Tibetan Plateau, not a single time I was able to see any man taking interest in any woman, ogling or staring at someone. Now, this observation also includes those faces too, which I marked as \u201cNot Good\u201d . \xa0I saw them travelling alone late night metros and bus services and even driving cabs in night. As a India born, such sight in a Asian country, I am sure is rare. A strong economy comes from a safe and secure woman. I am sue, India has to learn a lot from China. What Chinese aggression and heavy headedness is promoted by international media \u2013 I could not see any such trait in them.\xa0I haven\u2019t noticed anywhere in China where they are going \u201cover\u201d \u2013 it looks as they know and understand importance, responsibility of their role and they are equally acknowledged by their companion and families. \xa0Chines do not show much \u201c Westernized \u201c emotions in public and love and romance is limited to hugs, a arm around waist like gestures. Husbands/ Boyfriends were seen holding woman purses \u2013 and she was leaning to his arm or freely walking carrying herself like a queen. \xa0One more thing, which I so far, could not see is, anger and aggression in male voice while interacting with woman in public. And not only anger or aggression, I have yet to see teasing, leg pulling like common male traits. I don\u2019t think such behavior might not be there, but it seems they are careful in their conduct in public.I had my share of crooked and pissed of woman working in pharmacies and shops, where they were least interested in exploring ways to communicate with a alien, they simply negate..\u201d May Yo \u201c is big NO, as soon as you try to make a conversation. But such simple and natural experiences are acceptable in a country where Non-Chinese speaking people are aliens.\xa0Source: Woman in China\nBeing a foreign woman in China is quite a different experience to being a Chinese woman in China. I\'ve been living in China for over 6 years and I\'ll tell you 5 crazy things that have happened to me here and what I think they mean for women in China. Here\'s a little backstory: I came to China alone, having graduated in 2008 when the economy was awful for jobs. I chose to find a job in Chengdu, since it was off the beaten track. I didn\'t want easy access to foreign products and English-speakers, I wanted the real deal. I figured if I was going to be in China, I\'d better be in China, if you know what I mean. Here are some of the things that happened to me in my first years living in China, you may choose to believe me or not, but none of this is exaggerated. If you\'ve read this far, don\'t stop at this list, I don\'t want to give you the wrong impression. I actually love China, though it may not look like it at first, so if you\'ve made it this far, keep reading!For each of these points, I\'ll explain what I think was happening and how that relates to being a foreign woman in China. All of my lingerie was stolen from my balcony when I left it hanging on the line to dry. When I walk down the street, I often turn around to see a line of people following closely behind me like ducklings. A gas leak in my apartment caused me to pass out in the shower and when I awoke I found that the hospital had put me in front of a big glass window (I was still wet and still naked). A group of construction workers curiously stood around chain-smoking and watching the show. I am often called a Russian prostitute on the street and sometimes cars slowly follow me as I\'m walking. I\'ve been on Chinese TV multiple times.So let\'s break these down and see what we can really discover about being a foreign woman in China. By the way, if you have any questions or want to hear more, I have a podcast that talks all about what it\'s like to live in China. Find it here: www.writtenchinese.com/podcastNumber 1 : Let\'s Talk about the Undies! My underwear mysteriously went missing after I had been in China for about a week. I made the mistake of leaving it on the line to dry overnight, and a sneaky thong bandit crawled up my balcony and snatched them! I have a few theories about this. First, this happened back in 2009, and at that time online shopping in China was still far from being refined. I would bet that back then, very few people ordered their panties online, so they were left to choose from whatever was sold at the local shops. China is traditionally much more conservative when it comes to sexuality than the West, so often this means a lot of high-waisted granny panties and forget about any luscious fabrics like silk and lace. My theory #1: It was a young women who snatched them to impress a boyfriend or husband. China being as conservative as it is; maybe my panties being on display for several hours was a bit too risque and offended one of the neighbors. My theory #2: An uptight older lady pulled them down to teach me a lesson. Where I was living was close to a high school. Several of the children from that high school lived in the same complex where I was living.My theory #3: Some teenage boys couldn\'t resist, and then distributed my garments like Halloween candy to their mates. I\'ll never know what actually happened, but one thing\'s for sure: Foreign ladies in China, dry your undies INDOORS!\xa0 Number 2 : Chinese Ducklings will Follow You AnywhereLet me clarify something when talking about this one: I was not living in a particularly urban area. I was near Chengdu, but still quite a distance from the actual city. The surrounding area was countryside, so a lot of people I encountered were farmers or factory workers. Whenever I would go out on the street, I would attract a lot of attention. It still happens today where I live in Shenzhen, but it\'s much more mild than before. These days most Chinese people are used to seeing foreign men here and there, but foreign women can still be a spectacle. At that time, when I would go out, people would be so intrigued about what a foreigner might like to buy or eat, that they would follow me around snapping photos and giggling. I imagine I got a tiny taste of what it\'s like to be a Hollywood starlet. Though I have days where I just want to disappear into the crowd, for the most part this phenomenon is a big advantage. It\'s easier to get higher paying jobs, get special treatment at the local spa, and I don\'t think I\'ve ever paid for a drink at a club. Being constantly watched is something you get used to, and if you learn to see the benefits, you really can\'t complain.\xa0 Number 3 : The Monkey in the Hospital ZooI remember clearly waking up in that hospital bed after getting knocked out by CO. Safety standards in China have definitely improved, but there are some things you learn the hard way- like NEVER open the window between the shower and the gas water heater. Fortunately I was living with a roommate who noticed that I had passed out and in a panic, he scooped me into a blanket and rushed me to the hospital. In the chaos, he didn\'t grab any clothes. When I came to, they had me hooked up to some IVs and although they had attempted to cover me up, there was definitely more on display than I would have wanted. I guess they put me in front of a big glass window for several reasons. First, maybe they thought the light and sounds would revive me. Second, they probably had never had a foreign patient at that hospital before. Having me there for the world to see likely brought the place some kind of prestige. Finally, maybe this is standard procedure and I\'m looking too far into it.\xa0 Whatever the reason was, I\'m sure that there are some Chinese constructions workers out there who still reminisce about the time they saw a nude foreign girl in the window. Number 4 : I\'m not Russian!If you\'re a young foreign white woman in China with a slight build, then you have no doubt been called a Russian. I can\'t tell you how many times I\'ve been in the elevator and people are talking about the "Russian Miss", thinking that I don\'t understand what they\'re saying. You have to understand that many Chinese people can\'t comprehend why an American girl would want to live in China. Chinese people are generally very pragmatic and after all, as Americans we can make more money at home where we have voting rights and clean air. There is a large amount of Russian women who come over to China as \'dancers\', to take advantage of the burgeoning economy. It\'s for this reason that many people assume that I am a lady of the night. Whether I dress casually or not, someone somewhere will call me a Russian. On 6 or 7 occasions I\'ve had guys following me in their cars while I walked to work in the morning. I guess they are looking for 8am nookie?! I will say though, that I\'ve never really felt unsafe. While their catcalls and wandering eyes can make me feel uncomfortable, these kind of run-ins are few and far between and have never escalated beyond a nuisance. I\'ve had WAY worse in other countries, trust me. In fact, China is probably the most low-key country I\'ve been to when it comes to getting harassed on the street. Still, it\'s a weird thing being propositioned in broad daylight. But don\'t go feeling sorry for me, the ones who get it the worst are the decent Russian girls who come here to make an honest living. Number 5 : It\'s Showtime!Wow, have you really read to the bottom of my answer? I\'m flattered! I hope you\'ve gotten some insights into what it\'s like to be a Caucasian foreign woman in China. While there are some crazy things that can happen, in a nutshell being a foreign woman here means you have many great advantages, and a few minor annoyances. I wanted to end with this idea of being on TV to demonstrate just how cool it can be in China as a woman. Due to the fact that foreign women are still the oddballs here, people often jump at the chance to grab an audience\'s attention by having our faces on advertisements, billboards and TV shows. If you\'ve ever wanted to be a star and loved by millions, China is the easiest place to do it. I\'ve been offered quite a few modeling jobs and I\'m 5\' 7"! I\'d recommend any woman to come to China and see for herself. It\'s safe, it\'s a great learning experience, and you\'ll definitely take some stories home with you. Remember, if you have any more questions for me about life in China. Go to the podcast link above and ask me ANYTHING! Or you can see what I\'m up to at the software company here at: Written Chinese \nWhat does it feel like to be a woman living in China?I\u2019m a Shanghainese woman so\u2026\u2026 I noticed I shouldn\u2019t be complaining about life. Because if I do, many people will tell me to go to hell. One easy way to tell about a woman\'s life is to look at the man next to her. And Shanghainese men are famous known for:The Versatile Ma Da SaoMa da dao is Shanghainese slang meaning, \u201cshop, wash, cook.\u201dThe exception is when the term is used to describe men in Shanghai \u2014 guys who don\u2019t just shop, wash and cook, but famously do so without complaint\u2026..The Professional Bag CarrierWhen shopping with her Shanghainese boyfriend or husband (yes, Shanghai men shop, remember \u201cma\u201d from point number one?) the Shanghai female doesn\u2019t need to carry any bags, including her own petite purse\u2026.Family PrideChatting with a married Western man, you may need to wait hours before he mentions his wife. Chatting with a married Shanghainese man, you may need to wait hours before he stops talking about his wife\u2026..ToleranceThe relationship between mother and daughter-in-law is like an active volcano in the Middle Marriage Kingdom. But the Shanghai husband\u2019s legendary tolerance can single-handedly turn a lava flow into a pile of dead ashes, or a volcano to be enjoyed and admired like Mt. Fuji\u2026\u2026.Masculinity in DisguiseShanghainese men simply see it as their responsibility to provide their families with a wealthy life. Their outlook is, \u201cI\u2019ll make all the money and deal with all the \u2018bei-ju,\'\u201d a internet phrase in China meaning \u201ceverything tragic.\u201d\u2026..[Shanghai men]These might be considered \u201cwhipped\u201d by outsiders, but a Shanghainese man will tell you proudly that it\u2019s their pleasure. (No kidding) The superpowers of Shanghai husbands allow them to actually have fun in malls and salons.One Shanghai government official once openly stated: \u201cWe Shanghai men not only know the importance of supporting the family financially, but we also know the importance of emotional support and always show consideration to our wives.\u201dHow did the relationship between Shanghainese men and women evolved into today?Honestly, I don\u2019t know. Everything just seems so natural in Shanghai. (I\u2019d be happy to hear what everybody thinks\u2026.)\nI don\'t know about being a Chinese woman in China (and I think Faye Wang perfectly answered the question) but I can tell you about being a western expat woman living in China, in Shanghai in particular.In my experience, living in China as a woman was very different on one point: safety. Shanghai is pretty safe when you\'re an expat, a woman in particular, and it really changed my life as I was not afraid of going out late at night, alone and wearing a skirt. I\'m sure some people will disapprove as I obviously do not represent the majority of woman in China, but it is something that we shared with my girlfriends there. You can go out in the weirdest district but nobody would tease you or hit on you, same thing in the country when I visited Yunnan or Shanxi.Finally, maybe I feel this way because Paris is not so safe anymore for ladies, but it was really appreciable not to have guys hitting on us all day and being rude.\nI spent my early years in a prefecture level city. I may have been one of the luckiest little girls in the world, because my dad used to say "you are a human being first, a woman second. Don\'t ever let anyone look down on you because of your gender." He made sure my extended family treated me with the same respect they gave to the male cousins.I don\'t live in China now, but I still go back quite frequently. I\'m so optimistic seeing the emergence of the independent women who ask themselves "what do I want to accomplish with my career? who am I and what do I stand for as an individual?" - something that rarely existed for my parents\' generation. But at the same time, these same women ask me "is it possible for a feminine woman to do that?" This is for tasks like negotiating effectively, or coming out on top of traditionally male / or any field.This concept of "feminine woman" seems to be causing a mental glass ceiling for these women. I suspect many of the self made, white collar women have been dumped or shafted from romantic relationships because they come off as "non feminine" or "too intense". The recent PR campaign "Leftover Women (http://en.wikipedia.org/(wiki/Sheng_nu) shaming independent single women didn\'t help either. I wish I could make these women understand that they are more beautiful and stronger than they have ever given themselves credit for.Despite the down sides, I think the status of women in China is better than it has ever been. And maybe one day soon we can all celebrate the beautiful, independent, successful Chinese woman.\nIt means you are speechless.

For example:you are surprised by something unbelievable, thrilling or disgusting.a saw,especially used by iron lady, \u5973\u6c49\u5b50\nI want to clarify two points before give my answer. Firstly, a bad government does not necessarily mean that the government wants to hurt its people intentionally, and vise versa. So I would regard what the government had done as bad if its consequences hurt people no matter what the intention is. Secondly, all Chinese leaders in modern Chinese history do have the same dream of \u201cmaking China great again (MCGA)\u201d based on their traditional education that the Chinese culture used to be the greatest and an educated Chinese is dutiful to work for China, and this MCGA is of course mixed with different personal world views and ambitions. So I\u2019ll try to answer the question with a brief analysis to begin with on why and how things of China happened to be this way with a reminder now and then on what a thinking might have been involved.Modern day Chinese government started in 1911 after the Uprising of October 10, 1911. Five national flags had changed in Mainland China since as showing below. With each flag change there was a major social change behind, but all changes were somehow connected to MCGA based on Chinese thinking. I\u2019ll make my case with a chronological account of the major events along with flag changes.Flag A \uff081889\u20131911\uff09: Qing dynasty (1644\u20131912), an empire that had a territory three times of the precedent Ming Dynasty, was a creation of Manchus who came from the north of the Great Wall and conquered Ming Dynasty of Han Chinese in 1644 (figure below, left) without using a national flag officially until 1889 since national flag was a western concept. Under constant pressure from both inside and outside, the empire, as a fully recognized sovereignty by the West and having had numerous conflicts with European powers, finally sent official delegates in 1905 to Europe and America to check the Western world out and announced its plan to transform the Dynasty to constitutional monarchy in 1906 as a result. The dynasty published The Outline of Imperial Constitution three years later. But the reform fell short and the dynasty was ended after another three years after its announcement of the Constitution outline. The ruling people simply didn\u2019t have the way of thinking to figure out what was truly wrong with their system and how to save the decaying dynasty.Flag B \uff081911.10\u20131912.1\uff09: The 1911 Revolution to overthrow Qing broke off on October 10, and a stratocracy was established next day in WuChang. It has been acknowledged as the beginning of Republic of China (ROC), and their national flag, the first one for ROC, was this \u201c18 ball-star\u201d flag (also the picture above, right), a reflection of the revolutionaries\u2019 ideal of reinstating Han people\u2019s rule of the 18 provinces, the territory of Ming Dynasty. Specifically their ideal was \u201c to expel the Tatar barbarians (\u9a71\u9010\u9791\u864f), to Revive Chinese Society (Zhonghua) (\u6062\u590d\u4e2d\u534e)\u201d. Zhonghua meant the Han dynasty both culturally and territorially at that time and was formally proposed in 1895 by the revolutionaries .Flag C (1912\u20131928): The 1911 Revolution was an unexpected easy win for the revolutionaries. Within seven weeks following the uprising 15 out of the 18 provinces, the territory of Ming Dynasty, announced independence from Qing. The 13th Dalai Lama, who was in exile in India after Qing emperor stripped his title resulting from a dispute, also announced Tibet independence from Qing after the Uprising. He came back next year (or in 1913) and made an announcement of Tibet independence again; and Mongolians announced independence on 12/28, 1911 as well. However, among the revolutionaries those who wanted to inherit Qing dynasty won the debate over those who only wanted to \u201crevive Zhonghua\u201d. On the first day of 1912, ROC was formally announced to have been established and the flag was changed to this \u201cfive-colored\u201d, representing a republic of five peoples: Hans, Manchus, Mongols, Tibetans, and Muslims (Hui \u56de). Han people, who used to overthrew the huge Mongol-ruled Yuan Dynasty and revived Han dynasty of Ming by expelling Mongols out of their proper, now were no longer following their ancestors to revive Han dynasty by expelling Manchus out China proper. Rather, they inherited this huge Manchu dynasty entirely without putting up much fight. The flag showed their ambition. They believed that they would build a new republic to make the MCGA dream come true. However, counting for 95% of the total population, they never seriously consulted with other non-Han leaders of the four big minorities about the ruling of this new republic yet still an inherited empire, and most of them still believed that those minorities were barbarians. ROC consequently denied both Tibetan and Mongolian independence claims by including both areas in its Provisional Constitution of the Republic of China launched in March, 1912.It was a turning point for the history of Han Chinese, for they had to think for the first time about everything not only happening in their proper but in the areas as twice large as their proper inhabited with only other minorities who didn\u2019t speak/write Han language/characters, nor worship Confucius but their own gods, and their economy was based not on tilling but grazing. Manchu emperors ruled Han people thru adapting Han culture and other non-Han people thru Tribute System, in which the emperor\u2019s power quickly waned with the increase of distance between him and his subjects which in effect allowed self ruling. Although ROC\u2019s sovereignty over Tibet and Mongolia was internationally recognized, still, in 1924 came the first blow to ROC: Mongolian People\'s Republic was declared to be independent with Soviet Russia\u2019s support that was first rejected by ROC but finally warranted twenty years later through a treaty between MPR and Soviet Russia in 1945. The treaty also permanently separated outer Mongolia from inner Mongolia allowing the latter stay within ROC. In 1946 ROC formally accepted MPR, the size of ROC was down by about 15% in Han people\u2019s eyes.Flag D (1915.12.15\u20131916.03.22): A short but very important time for only about 100 days. Key words for this 100 days: ROC was put in constitutional crisis within three months by one of her founders after its birth and the republic empire failed in her beginning.After the Uprising of October 1911, the forced-out military strongman Yuan Shi-kai was called back to rescue Qing empire and became the number one man being the Premier. His troops made the rebellions----the ROC union of the independent provinces----under check, and both sides started to make deal under British mediation. Both agreed to let the Qing go and to start a Han ruling empire, and Yuan would be the president because he was the only one able to hold up the stake. In December 1911 Sun Yat-sen, the leader of anti-Qing Han revolutionaries but not the actual leader of 1911 Revolution came to China from his exile. Sun let his followers elect him provisional president on Dec. 29, 1911. It annoyed Yuan obviously, and even New York Times was surprised in its report of Dec. 31, 1911: \u201cDr. Sun\'s election, occurring simultaneously with the peace delegates agreeing to refer the form of government to the convention, indicates a lack of harmony among the republicans, which partly stultifies the work of Dr. Wu Ting-Fang and apparently violates the understanding with Yuan Shi-Kai.\u201d (Wu was the first British educated Chinese Barrister grown up in Qing dynasty.)Yuan immediately pulled his representative out of the talk. It apparently pressed Sun to publically announce on Jan. 21 and 22, 1912, that he was only doing the job for the time being and would step down to let Yuan be the president as soon as the Qing Emperor had abdicated. The talk was resumed and both sides agreed to peacefully transfer to republic with Yuan promising to persuade Qing to surrender the ruling power. The Empress Dowager Longyu announced Abdication on behalf of the last Emperor to yield ruling power to Han people on Feb. 12, 1912. The outgoing Empress surely in fear of being mistreated made it clear in this fewer than 400-character Abdication that the power was going to the Han representative, her Premier Yuan Shikai, to organize a new republic government.However, Sun controlled Nanjing congress made the Provisional Constitution on March 8 and approved and announced by the stepping down Sun on March 11, the same day Yuan augmented as the president. As the historian Tong Tekong describes, \u201cThis Provisional Constitution, which has deeply influenced the modern history of China, \u2026(has) changed the format of government from American Presidency to French Parliament. Its provision of presidency makes the premier directly report to the congress not the president, and, thus, the president becomes only a state symbol. Sun announces it on March 11, 1912\u2026\u2026This design is obviously created to restrain Yuan. He is not going to have the power like Sun did.\u201d (My translation of quote from \u300a\u8881\u6c0f\u6cbb\u56fd\u300bby Tong Tekong, 2004)The ROC inevitably fell into constitutional crisis immediately as a new republic empire that desperately needed a strong government to make the transfer from a Confucian faith-state tyranny to a rule-of-law republic while Yuan\'s hands were tied up. Without Yuan\u2019s leadership, all local strongmen thought that this republic was a joke, or a game for power. ROC lost its critical first two years to set its footing. The entire politics was a circus to the people simply showing that democratic freedom as a brand new ideal was a chaos but nothing else. This experience and understanding of democracy has continued in many Chinese minds to this day.After a chaotic period for a little more than three and half a year since his presidency, Yuan, advised by his advisers, the renowned American legal scholar Frank Johnson Goodnow (\u2026known for his assertion that the Chinese people were not mature enough for a democratic form of government\u2014a position that was later utilized by Yuan, as he attempted to proclaim himself the Emperor of China in 1915-6.), and his Japanese adviser Aruga Nagao (\u6709\u8d3a\u957f\u96c4, the first Japanese Nobel prize nominee), had a showdown with Sun\u2019s party and decided to reform the republic empire. In December, 1915, Yuan announced his reform\u2014-to change the system to constitutional monarchy with the name Empire of China with regnal year Hongxian (\u6d2a\u5baa), meaning \u201cgrand constitutional\u201d. But it was beyond the understanding of ordinary Chinese who never heard anything in such that an emperor would be living and ruling under constitution. They just wanted not to see another emperor crown on any of their new rulers, regardless. \u2014\u2014A lesson definitely learned by all later Chinese leaders whoever ruled China ever since: Never bear emperor title to rule no matter what the reality is.Yuan publicly withdrew his plan and apologized to his people 100 days later. He died on the 6th day of June, 1916, after failing to bring the system under control, only bearing a name of \u201carch-usurper of state power\u201d recorded in history books still taught in today\u2019s China. Sun continued to fight for power to modernize China under him by starting \u201cthird revolution\u201d .Flag E (1928\u20131949 in Mainland; \u2013present in Taiwan): Sun started a new party, Chinese Revolutionary Party (CRP), the pre-KMT. He asked party members to be absolutely loyal to him, even claimed, \u201c \u2026without me any pursuit of republic or democracy has to end in its opposite side. I must ask every comrade to obey me for I\u2019m pursuing the revolution (for the nation). You would be deadly wrong as soon as you doubted about your obedience. You people simply have so limited knowledge and experience, so you go nowhere except following me without asking any questions.\u201d (My translation of quote from A Memoir of the Era of Chinese Revolutionary Party 1989\u300a\u4e2d\u534e\u9769\u547d\u515a\u65f6\u4ee3\u7684\u56de\u5fc6\u300bby Ju Zheng.) Sun\u2019s CRP transformed to KMT in 1919, two years before Chinese Communist Party was created.In 1923 KMT under Sun received financial and military aid from Soviet Union after Sun had repeatedly failed to find aids from western countries and Japan. KMT held its first Nationalist Congress in 1924, claiming to represent all political classes in its struggle for the unification of China. KMT reorganized to adopt key organizational features of the Soviet communist party. Sun allowed CCP members to join KMT and increasingly used ideology as a means to centralize the power of KMT. It\u2019s Sun who started following the Soviets to set Anti-Imperialism as the primary goal of Chinese revolution, and he was the one who first used the term Unequal Treaties to prove the Chinese humiliation by International Imperialism. His student and successor Chiang Kai-shek reunified China in 1928 by defeating all the \u201crunning dogs of Imperialism,\u201d the local warlords. He changed Sun\u2019s policy of collaboration with CCP and crackdowned CCP in 1927. He now became another \u201crunning dog of imperialism\u201d called by CCP, a party more revolutionarily radical, but his teacher Sun has been regarded as the Founding Father of Modern China by both parties.Chiang\u2019s fight against CCP was doomed after Sino-Japanese war broke off in 1937. As the historian Anthony James Joes puts, \u201cThe Japaneses war devastated the Nationalists forces, revived the Communist party, and thus changed the history of the world.\u201d (Resisting Rebellion: The History and Politics of Counterinsurgency, 2006) But Chiang insisted following Sun\u2019s ideology. At the end of WWII, seeing the dawn of Japanese defeat, Chiang Kai-Shek published his China\u2019s Destiny and brought up the Unequal Treaties magic again to fuel up nationalism to support his rule but ignored internal reforms. The corrupted KMT rule ended in 1949 after a three year long bloody civil war between KMT and CCP.During Chiang\u2019s rule Xinjiang Muslims rebelled in 1933 (First East Turkestan Republic). Ten years later, Muslims, encouraged and organized by the Soviet Union, rebelled at Ili. It lasted to 1949 and the rebellions turned to CCP for support against Nationalists. Second East Turkestan Republic was short lived during the rebellion but its influence continued to this day among Xinjiang Muslims.Flag F (1949-present, in Mainland): After PRC was created in 1949, the Nationalist State system was replaced with Communist State system in Mainland China. CCP\u2019s rule of China during Mao era was Stalinist style plus Mao\u2019s destructive thinking in the construction of PRC. By the time of Mao\u2019s death the GDP of PRC was less than 5% of the world\u2019s against its 22% world population, which made per capita GDP of China at a level of a little more than a fifth of the world\u2019s. (table below, Loren Brandt et al, 2014)Led by Mao China joined USSR bloc and fought against America in N. Korea and Viet Nam, had border conflicts with India and USSR, and was in war with Viet Nam after Mao\u2019s death. Conflicts between Han ruling and Tibet and Xinjiang minorities have remained as the main concerns of the government from time to time, including Dalai Lama\u2019s escape to India in 1959.China\u2019s industrialization before Reform was a copy of Soviet model. Over one hundred thirty Key Projects mostly of heavy industry were most completed aided by Soviets. China also developed nuke bombs and launched satellite while having an undeveloped economy. A great famine broke up at the end of 1950s thru the beginning two years of 1960s that perished millions of lives. Mao started Cultural Revolution in 1966 to continue his pursuit of MCGA mixed with his Marxism and never had China\u2019s social norms reinstalled until his death in 1976.After Mao\u2019s death Economic Reform started in late 1970s internally and extended externally in early 1980s. China reopened to the world and the reform eventually led to the abandonment of communism practice in PRC but the country did not change its flag for the first time in past 100 years after a major social transformation. China had made her first remarkable social change essentially peacefully for ten years until Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. But the country didn\u2019t stop its economic reform and its per capita GDP has grown from ~20% to 116% of the world average, ranking at ~80th in 2014. Chinese economy now is the second largest after pooling in all of its 20% world population.To summarize, I would draw some factual conclusions based on this very brief review of China\u2019s past 100 years:1. There have been many Chinese leaders who all wanted to live up to this MCGA in past 100 years with personal marks. Sun, a typical example as widely revered and as reviled, gave MCGA a personal interpretation for all Chinese and moved forward with measures undermined the first Chinese republic. Deng, who was one of many Mao\u2019s students and comrades, reopened China which led to the great success of Chinese economic development but the abandonment of communism unintentionally. Today\u2019s China is at her apex in Chinese history although its per capita GDP is still behind many countries. Never before there were so many Chinese who could enjoy a quality life like now. China\u2019s new leader now is apparently taking MCGA personal again. So China\u2019s future will largely determined by his own MCGA interpretation.2. Modern China is an inheritance of Qing Empire although the ruling people Han are not the conquerors. However, after Han\u2019s ruling became no more a Tribute System, PRC itself has been bearing characteristics of imperialism. During Mao era this characteristics had been managed thru \u201cclass struggle\u201d but evolved to a conflict between Han and other major minorities after \u201cclass struggle\u201d was discarded. The fundamental cultural differences between Han and other minorities have not been diminished thru 100 year long Han ruling, and Han people\u2019s MCGA hasn\u2019t been transformed to becoming other minorities\u2019 dream which is clearly shown in China\u2019s social and economic development that mostly is in the region of southeastern but not in northwestern China.3. The MCGA dream is rooted in traditional thinking but has not evolved along with China\u2019s industrialization to a Chinese Modernity. The theory of Sun has helped Han Chinese keep China united but also created nationalism that blamed China\u2019s misery on the Western capitalism and led China to choosing Russian Leninism. Its practice in China caused Chinese people tens millions of lives and put Chinese economic development on hold for 27 years.4. The failure of China\u2019s early republic experiment has been imposing a huge negative impact on Chinese people\u2019s view of democracy and keeping haunting them, which in combination with China\u2019s imperialist characteristics has been strangling China to an emotional tangle. Restrained by the way of Chinese thinking together with decades long twisted education, it becomes a somewhat popular Chinese view that there are always hostile forces out there who only want to destroy China. This ghost can come out to play at government\u2019s will to shift the attention of the public to Chinese problems.5. China\u2019s economic development in past 35 years is a great achievement. This achievement has made the MCGA dream never so close to come true. It\u2019s no question that the achievement is attributed to the work of Chinese people. However, it is to a large extent misinterpreted in ignoring the fact that it is a part of the modernization of entire human civilization. To over emphasize this great achievement as the inevitable renaissance of ancient Chinese civilization creates a blind pride blocking people from seeing what human Modernity is really about and from recognizing the problems with Chinese culture. It will only slow down the development of critical thinking and consequently make it more difficult to find solutions to existing historic Chinese issues.Finally, What makes Chinese government a bad government? I believe, that the leaders of Chinese government keep thinking in a traditional way in their effort to make MCGA come true often becomes what makes Chinese government a bad government as shown in modern Chinese history. China has never been so strong and resourceful but the traditional thinking cannot evolve with the fast progress of Chinese society and the world modernization. China\u2019s government is ruling her with great fear in my view which is inherited from the history and enforced thru self victimized education to Chinese people. The 1.4 billion Chinese people should not only be the labors of the world factory but also part of the brain pool of entire human race, including the non-Han Chinese, to think freely. It won\u2019t happen until Chinese leaders are free from traditional way of thinking.*Edit: After seeing it viewed by over 3k times I decided to come to correct some errors and comment on my claim in the last sentence. Obviously it is rhetorical if every Chinese leader only comes from Chinese people. Therefore, I think that we can only say that the ruling of Chinese government will change with time when people make changes with their thinking. I know that I might be wrong. So I truly welcome critics and appreciate different thoughts.**Edit: I made correction on Chinese GDP calculations. Now I would like to add my perspective on the MCGA as to what it really means in order to clarify questions by the reader related to it. Probably nobody knows exactly what the contents of MCGA are because it is basically a subjective wishful thinking that was initially based on \u201cChinese Humiliation\u201d . The humiliation was real, yet the question was who to blame on for the misery. Through late Qing dynasty and early ROC years Chinese elites commonly believed that the Chinese culture itself was the root cause of the problem and the culture needed to be modernized. The thinking was changed after Sun Yat-sen turned to Soviet Russia for help and formally announced in Sun\u2013Joffe Manifesto at the beginning of 1923. Sun since modified his Three Principles of the People in which his first principle Nationalism (MinZu \u6c11\u65cf) was no longer \u201cto expel the Tatar barbarians (\u9a71\u9010\u9791\u864f), to Revive Chinese Society (Zhonghua) (\u6062\u590d\u4e2d\u534e)\u201d, but to unify China and maintain its independency through the course of Anti-Imperialism. Obviously it fitted the the new ROC, an inherited Qing empire, by attributing all Chinese problems to Western powers\u2019 bullying. Chinese culture itself was spared but a victim of Western invasion. After the showdown between the more radical revolutionary CCP and KMT, Confucianism was replaced by Communism in Mainland after KMT was eventually defeated. Thirty years later after communist practice failed in PRC it logically led to the belief that communism must be the problem. Now, after achieving its great economic development, China is returning to the point to catch the culprit again. The answer is obvious if Sun\u2019s theory still holds up to Chinese leaders. Or else, if their way of thinking has changed because Sun\u2019s theory can\u2019t hold up any more when being scrutinized differently.\nA lot of answers here suggest that it\'s very hard to define a good/bad government, but I would say it\'s surprisingly simple.Historically, China\u2019s government should take care of its people, and the emperor should be kind but decisive, leading his people to make the proper decision under tough circumstances. Sounds pretty much like every government should do, right? The most significant difference between China\'s good government and the West\u2019s is that China\'s government doesn\'t work on (capitalist) social contract. The emperor works more like a family member of his citizens.Nowadays, different people have different values for judging if the government is good or not. Based on corruption, regulation and many other reasons, liberals believe China should adopt the Western political system as soon as possible. Meanwhile, conservatives believe the country should stay as it is for a while and see if this system and its evolved version can still work in the future. After all it has been working well in the past few decades.Liberals may tell you that China\'s current government is bad, but conservatives may tell you that it is actually pretty good. It all depends on who you\'re with.This is a pretty good thing. Plurality, if carefully managed, can keep people mentally agile. Luckily, China doesn\'t have some kind of political correctness or universal political standard yet, prompting the country to carefully think more about the future of itself.\nConsidering the large population, the current government definitely did a great job there.By the way, this question itself is not referenced to a sufficiently correct fact. That indicates some mystery motivations, and to some extents, this question just simply twist China government being bad, which is an infringement of first rule of quora. Please reformat this one, cheers.\nI think the question is not a proper one.Since the one who asked the question has already had a preconceived idea that Chinese government is a bad government,and he just turned to quora to find someone who can support his idea with some clues to make himself convinced that he is right.Whether Chinese government is a bad government is a question without answer.Actually it\'s not proper to evaluate a government with a word such as good or bad.Maybeit\'s no a big problem to comment on its behaviors with such words.we can say that the Chinese government did a unpleasant job before 1980s,it made many mistakes and didn\'t make the country coming to a prosperous future in the right direction.Though,it did make some contribution to the country\u2019s development,it should have done more.After that period,china has gone such a long way to a bright future and is still on the way to be better.Compared with governments of other countrys in the near twenty years,what the Chinese government has done is good enough.Whether the Chinese government will continue doing a good job in the future is unknown.Lets watch for the next decade.\nDisregarding the semantics about democracy, freedom of speech, rules of law, etc, etc, there\u2019s one fundamental difference between Chinese government and the more \u2018enlightened\u2019 western democratic government, and this difference is what makes the Chinese government \u2018bad\u2019.The Chinese government can make an individual utterly and completely powerless.Imagine you are a disgruntled individual that was wronged by the government/institutions, and you are out to seek justice. You will find the mission near impossible in China. The various governmental bodies ensure individual odd-balls of the society are isolated, silenced and forgotten. This has been so for thousands of years across hundreds of dynasties. This is the price the ruling class of China has to and willing to pay, because the Chinese ruling class values stability and harmony above all else, and the Chinese culture is all about collectivism vs. individualism.When you are a law-abiding citizen working along side the government, you will find all your needs met, grievances addressed and opinions heard. But as soon as you veer off from this path, you will find yourself enclosed, trapped, muted and forgotten.Now in comparison, if you were a wronged individual in a more \u2018enlightened\u2019 western democratic society, you can always find ways to be heard, and there\u2019s always someone willing to listen. There\u2019s plenty state and private watchdogs, ombudsmen, overseers to voice your disagreement to and plenty of lawyers you can employ. If all else fails, there\u2019s privately owned media you can go to as well.In other words, it is a terrible terrible business to be the odd one out in China, not so much in a western democratic country.There\u2019s a reason why overwhelming number of Chinese Quorans are in praise of Chinese government, it\u2019s because those are the ones being fulfilled, they are content and they are what the government is working for and working with.Majority of Chinese willingly choose to forgo the assurance that one day they might fall short of the government\u2019s good graces and get stuck in the rut, because they want tangible benefits here and now. Whereas for an average westerner, he/she is NOT willing to forgo that assurance because who knows one day they might need it.In a twisted way, Chinese government is probably the most democratic of them all, because it gives what most people want, not what the few needs.\nWhy is suppression of \u2018Free speech\u2019 by the Chinese government so acceptable to the Chinese people?Opinions about CCP in Quora seem to suggest that Chinese people are quite content with CCP. Now, I am not arguing for democracy or against the Chinese system, but I cannot understand how can anyone find being disallowed the right to express opinion or protest against politicians acceptable?The best defense for Free Speech in China is to Always Speak the Truth. If you are insulted by the Chinese government, publicize it on the web and you\u2019ll get every citizen behind you.But the Chinese are not OK to be lied to. Not by the Chinese Government, not by other Chinese people, not by any foreign Government or foreigners. And not by you. You may call that \u2018Free Speech\u2019. The Chinese call it lies, and demand their government to shut you up.The Chinese are also not OK to be grossly insulted.In 2008, China suffered a magnitude 7.9 earthquake in her western mountainous region. Close to 90,000 people died. Mothers desperately tried to shield their children with their own bodies, and died entombed together. The mother was still tenderly holding her child.Sharon Stone, dressed in all her sparkles and finery, stood on the red carpet of Cannes, called it \u2018karma\u2019. China angry over Sharon Stone quake karma remarkHundreds of millions of Chinese demanded the Chinese government to ban her films and any merchandise associated with her. If this is what \u2018Free Speech\u2019 means, the Chinese don\u2019t want it.You want to know why the Chinese not only support the Chinese government\u2019s censorship, but demand it? Because it\u2019s so obvious, OBVIOUS, that the likes of Sharon Stone are not on their side. You have someone literally laughing when 90,000 Chinese died in an earthquake, and then coming up with crocodile tears about \u2018oh we have to fight for the poor Chinese who don\u2019t have free speech\u2019. The Chinese government, on the other hand, quickly mobilized 130,000 soldiers and other relief workers to attempt rescue, of which, around 200 rescuers died from ensuing aftershocks and mudslides. They gave their lives for the Chinese people.Sichuan earthquake of 2008 | ChinaWhen you call hate speech \u2018free speech\u2019, you make people hate free speech.PS: This is not an isolated event. This kind of sh*t happens continuously, and not just towards Chinese, but a continuous stream of random insult to almost any foreign country. Even the Swedes, the mellowest of all, are threatening to \u201cgo full fascist on them Yanks and ban them all\u201d. King of Sweden stresses need for \u2018serious\u2019 media and source checking after Donald Trump\u2019s immigration claims\nChinese people aren\'t OK with the censorship. People make fun of the \u201ckeyword\u201d censorship all the time, mocking the key words with stupid alternatives. People comment on how their social media posts were removed. If someone spoke up against the government and was threatened, people will show support by reposting screenshots of their deleted words (which are harder to regulate).Just because people don\'t give up their life and throw themselves into some bloody resistance movement, doesn\'t mean they accept bad government policies.But western media doesn\'t report this. Chinese people making fun of their government doesn\'t make nearly as appealing a click-bait headline as \u201cChinese people intentionally kill car accident victims\u201d.Think of it in this way: you have a life, you have a family, you have a future. And the government removes a post from your Facebook. Would you throw away everything you have to fight against the government? Even if you want to, how are you going to go about doing it? Where will you find this \u201cunderground rebel force"? Is it worth it? To give up your life, family and future, a stable job and relatively pleasant life because of one removed Facebook comment?If you won\u2019t do it, why do you think Chinese people should do it? Because of some idealistic bullshit idea that the Chinese government is evil and there should be a bloody revolution? Why don\'t Chinese stand up against oppression? Why don\'t Russians stand up against oppression? Why don\'t other people stand up against oppression because you think standing up against oppression is romantic?You don\'t know about China. Most westerners don\'t, and most westerners have this rosy idea about what revolution is\u2026 hence questions like this.\nWhy do educated Chinese support the CCP?Because actual educated Chinese know that the CCP was single handedly responsible for turning a dirt poor backwater nation into a mighty economic superpower lifting 600 Million people out of poverty within a span of 3 decades. Without the CCP, China would have been a weak, fragmented nation.These educated people also know that the West\u2019s criticism of China\u2019s human rights some part cultural imperialism and some part a ploy to weaken and destabilize China. A weak fragmented China unable to challenge Western value hegemony, is ultimately in the West\u2019s interests.The second part of your question asserts that the Chinese cannot criticize their politicians. That is a flagarant lie. Fact of the matter is, Chinese do vehemently complain about corruption and criticize policies. The only time the CCP forbids speech is when it may lead to instigation to riot, protest and destabilize any part of the nation. \u201cDemocracy, human rights\u201d should never be a cover for destabilizing a nation, fragmenting it and making it poor.\nWhy do educated Chinese support CCP despite not having the freedom to criticize Chinese politicians?On August 28th, 2016, I received the following text message from the Chinese Government:\u515a\u548c\u653f\u5e9c\u5e84\u4e25\u627f\u8bfa\uff1a\u4e0d\u8ba9\u4e00\u4e2a\u5b66\u751f\u56e0\u5bb6\u5ead\u7ecf\u6d4e\u56f0\u96be\u800c\u5931\u5b66\uff01\u4ece\u5b66\u524d\u513f\u7ae5\u5230\u7814\u7a76\u751f\uff0c\u90fd\u80fd\u4eab\u53d7\u56fd\u5bb6\u8d44\u52a9\u653f\u7b56\u3002\u8be6\u60c5\u67e5\u8be2\u5168\u56fd\u5b66\u751f\u8d44\u52a9\u7ba1\u7406\u4e2d\u5fc3\u7f51\u7ad9\u3002\u3010\u6559\u80b2\u90e8\u5ba3\u3001\u5de5\u4fe1\u90e8\u3001\u4e2d\u56fd\u79fb\u52a8\u3011The Party and the Government solemnly promise: we will not allow a single student to drop out of school because of economic reasons. From preschool to graduate school, everyone can enjoy state funds to pay for his/her education. For more details, visit National Student Financial Aids Administration website [message by Department of Education, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China Mobile]The CPC is promising to give education to everyone who wants it. If they pull this off, we are talking about personal empowerment through education at every level of the society. The day that everyone in China who want a decent education can get one, I will convert to the CPC\'s biggest fan ever.Of course, there is always a catch to any rosy promises made by politicians. I actually tried to visit the website to take a look, but the website is an epic fail. It couldn\u2019t handle all the traffic going to the site. So, a poor student can\'t really visit the site for more information.A few months later, I had a conversation about this text message with a friend who works for PwC US in China. He studied Computer Science at Tongji University, one of China\'s best, and he came from a humble background. He was on state money all his way through college. It paid for his tuition, but he had to eat, and that\'s not part of the no-one-drops-out deal. Luckily, university canteens are heavily subsidized by the Chinese Government. My friend was able to support himself working part-time in the summer loading bricks at a Shanghai construction site.So, I wondered, if the website for state funds doesn\'t work, how the heck did he receive his money for tuition. It turns out, the Chinese Government relies on schools, and local government officials to nominate state fund recipients. Given low technology literacy across China, I guess having a functioning website wouldn\'t make much a difference, but it still would be nice to have a place for information online.I can\'t speak for 1.4 billion of my fellow Chinese compatriots, but I am not as antiestablishment as I used to be because I think China is heading toward the right direction, and marginal improvements to the system are what we need, certainly not that democratic revolution crap.On a side note, it bugs me that we have a GFW, but hey I know a thing or two about Linux command line. The CPC can\u2019t stop me from using Shadowsocks to watch Marcus Butler doing an American accent on YouTube.I hope my reflection on the topic sort of answers your question.\nOn one hand, the question itself is unwarranted, Chinese people do have the freedom to criticize the government which is already explained in other comments.One the other hand, even though Chinese people don\u2019t have this so-called free speech, why can\u2019t they still support the government any way? What I want to say is the FREE SPEECH is just not that important, nobody is living on criticizing the government, people enjoy their own lives and who cares that much about what the hell the government is doing. Chinese people see that their lives are getting better and better, the funtamental constrution is doing well, they recieve better education and become richer day by day. These are the things people really care about.And in fact, in many parts of the western world, the free speech is superficial, is fake and useless. Ok, you can say whatever you want, but you are a fool and never count on that I will listen to you. In this sense, the free speech is like satisfaction to yourself.And, there is no real free speech in western world if you criticize people of different color of skin, different religous belives, and what if there are really some big problems in them? You can\u2019t even say that out and never mention even solve them.What does the free speech really mean to you?And if this comment is deleted some time later, it will be a solid evidence that the western free speech is so lame.\nWe as human beings are generally drawn to things that are different from us. I think China is one of the countries least touched by the wave of globalization. They still have thousands of years of traditions that they hold onto so very dearly.The Food \u2013 The Chinese does everything differently. Their foods usually lack spice (which is taken separately if needed most of the time) in order to retain the flavor of the actual meat. But having said that I have had beef that was spicier than a Colombian dish. The variations of Chinese food are endless. Don\u2019t be misled by the Chinese Restaurants in your country because that is definitely no match for what you will get in Mainland China.The People \u2013 The Chinese are known for their hard-work, efficiency and productivity. But that\u2019s just the tip of the iceberg. They are the nicest and most helpful people I have seen in all my travel destinations. I was once on my way to meet someone I worked with in China and my transit got delayed by two hours. She closed the shop because I was too late, but stayed back for me to come by. Much to my surprise, I found her standing on the side of the road near the office waiting patiently. It took a long time to get through everything I needed to discuss with her. And alas, it was 1:30 in the morning when we finished up. That wasn\u2019t the end. She invited me to have dinner with her and we all sat down, talking about how different China is from the rest of the world. With the transit back to her place and everything she would have gotten roughly an hour or two of sleep before work the next day. I don\u2019t know how many qualities I have just talked about but all of them remarkably exceptional.The Places \u2013 Chinese Architecture is something different to what you will see in most places. Usually in the non-business centers of China. Henan Province comes to mind. The amount of ancient architecture that you will see there at any given point in time is mind boggling. China is also home to thousands of museums, each of them consisting of significant counterparts that make up for the entire lifeline of China.Diversity \u2013 I was once like most people who have never been to China. I thought that everything in China is interchangeable. But I was amazed by how much diversity I got from one city to the next. It was quite baffling how the lifestyle and the aesthetics change. In comparison the only place I could think of right now is Turkey.But all in all you just have to get there and see for yourself. I can write more, but it would not do justice to how beautiful China truly is. I hope everyone sees it that way.Passion Project - Planetgraphy | Facebook (Just for Travel Inspiration)\nThey are many reasons foreigners move to China. Many for its rich exotic ancient culture, many for its eccentric diversity among the country. Hospitality, tremendous amount of opportunities and the list can continue. But I will share my fair share.Population - China is 1.357 Billion yet it manages to keep its stability among its citizens. That\u2019s a pure work of Art. It feeds its people, it promotes education, it invests in its people\u2019s future and I think the government here is doing a fantastic job of keeping the country together.Fastest growing economy - The country was illiterate, poor and backward compared to the rest of the world up until a few decades ago, but that changed and it\'s changing so fast. It\u2019s simply fascinating.Moral values - China is a collective culture, where family values, community, and everyone matters. They work hard for ultimate one goal to make the country better for the future generation. I have never seen such people so passionate and devoted to their country in the 21st century. The Chinese traditional cultural values of harmony, benevolence, righteousness,courtesy, wisdom, honesty, and loyalty.Life experience - My everyday work is a life lesson, a challenge, a new experience and a new beginning. People appreciate my hard work here as a foreigner. They do not take my work for granted and they actually appreciate for what I do for them.Entertainment - China offers the unlimitted amount of entertainment, leisure and numerous different activities for having fun. The nightclubs here are giants stadiums with IMAX 3D screen, they have things like escape rooms, unbelievable theme parks, outdoor natural parks and much more.Affordable high-quality life - If you\u2019re professional expat, life in China can be rewarding. The economy is booming and they are a lot of opportunities available. There\u2019s a high demand for educated professionals who are willing to step out of their comfort zone.People - Unconditional kindness, integration of the locals with foreigners, tolerance and acceptance and cheap travel within the country and Asia with high-speed train or affordable airfare are all many reasons why expats choose to live here.\\If you\u2019re serious about your career and would like to make an impact in the world. I believe China is a great destination. I am learning so many new things here, basically, you have the freedom in China to innovate, be articulate and design new ways of doing things.I love China \u6211\u7231\u4e2d\u56fd\nI have an answer for this that some you find ironic:The Freedom they Experience in ChinaOf course, life as an American (or European, etc) expat in China is different from the lives of native Chinese people in many ways.The life of a foreigner in China may feel more \u201cfree\u201d due to the fact that expats don\u2019t have family responsibilities here. A Chinese student in the USA may feel freedoms in North America that aren\u2019t possible in China.I am a Mandarin Chinese teacher of both children and adults and many of my students are moving to China from the USA. Many of them mention that they feel more \u201cfreedom\u201d in China than they do in the USA, despite their worries that it would be the opposite.The three freedoms that I most often hear about from foreigners in China are:Having the \u201cfreedom\u201d to not own a car and to be able to get around on public transport. I have lived and traveled in the USA and I know that, while a car is meant to provide personal \u201cfreedoms\u201d, we are often limited by our cars: stuck in traffic, financial burden, and cities in which walking or taking the train is not an option.Shanghai\u2019s subways was began just 20 years ago and it\u2019s already the largest in the world:The \u201cfreedom\u201d of walking anywhere at any hour and not fearing for your safety. Aside from some crime such as pickpocketing, violent crime in China is minimal and especially not aimed at foreigners.Chinese cities are walkable and worry-free 24/7:The \u201cfreedom\u201d of buying alcohol at any hour and to drink it on the street. This is something that Americans enjoy more than Chinese! In the USA there are many rules with alcohol and cigarettes- when/where you can buy and use them. In China, you can have an informal BBQ with beer out on the sidewalk without worry! While most of my students don\u2019t smoke, the few that do seem to greatly enjoy doing it indoors at bars and restaurants.In Qingdao, you can buy \u201cstreet beer\u201d to go by weight in a plastic bag:For Chinese people, many of us want cars, don\u2019t appreciate how safe the streets are, and would never think of drinking beer in public if not at a restaurant. However, these three points are quite refreshing if you\u2019re coming from North America!Many of my foreign students feel that when they go back home, there are more small laws and responsibilities that don\u2019t apply to their lives when they were here in China.Ironic, isn\u2019t it?\nI\'ve lived for substantial time in 3 Asian cities (Singapore, Hong Kong, and Shenzhen), and they all surprised me on the upside. In the case of China, here\'s why I like it:it\'s modern, and continues to develop all the time. They have modern cities, excellent transport infrastructure (highways, airports, high-speed trains network which is unmatched in the world, excellent public transport and taxis), excellent hotels, malls, restaurants and cafes, beautiful parks, etc.There\u2019s a feeling of safety and freedom in Chinese cities, which impress with their size. There\u2019s no one to tell you what to do, and you can see from the behavior of the diverse crowd, people just do what they want. In most places you won\'t see any police. In some others they are present in security posts. They just do their job, i.e. sit there silently and behave reasonably, adding to the security and order. Do you know that police in China doesn\'t have firearms? They are just like a part of the crowd, only doing their job.friendliness of Chinese people. You will always get help, no matter that you can\'t speak a word in Chinese besides \u4f60\u597d, or they can\'t speak English. They\'ll spend their time and go out of their way to explain you how to get somewhere, or how to buy a train ticket, they\'ll patiently and enthusiastically explain how to get what you need. They\'ll be positive and practical all the time while helping you.they are non-dogmatic. The people are simply pragmatic and hardworking, they want to live good lives, and feel responsible for their well-being. They are not brainwashed (something which is actually more typical to Western countries, and you can see it on Quora too). The main philosophy of China is just common sense and being a good person.business is in the genes of Chinese. Small shops and restaurants are ubiquitous, which makes me think self employment and small business must be a major kind of employment. The government creates excellent business infrastructure. For example, the hi tech city area in Shenzhen is very impressive and has lots of spaces to support innovations and startups. China hosts some of world\u2019s biggest trade shows and exhibitions. It\u2019s easy to see trends in the world economy here.they are connected and communal. It\u2019s easy to talk with people and make friends, especially if you are open and respectful.technologically, China is of course advanced in many ways. For example, electric transport has been very developed here for years. You can find electric bikes, personal transportation vehicles (like kick scooters or mono wheels), electric taxis and cars, even electric buses (the photo below is a bus charging station).some things are convenient. The Chinese messenger app (WeChat) is very advanced and makes it easy to make payments and much more; it\u2019s a technology marvel. For example, in some cafes you can scan QR code on your table, which brings up the menu on your phone; you can make an order and it will be sent to your table. You can pay with your mobile phone almost everywhere, you don\u2019t need cash or credit card. It\u2019s fine to leave your wallet at home if you have a phone with you.still kept (and in some cases even exaggerated) some of its sweet traditions. Well, their language itself is ancient to begin with. In the very developed Chinese cities you\'ll see many people still trying to live simple ways. Outdoor tai chi, dragon boat festivals, traditional medicine, etc., add charm to the urban culture.it\u2019s vast and intellectually stimulating. It\u2019s very geographically diverse, has rich history, and Chinese are passionate about learning and self development, they\u2019re smart and focused. I love book shops here and book cafes; Shenzhen\u2019s central book store claims to be the largest in the world.To give a more balanced answer, I\'ll mention a few negatives. They are not big, but are a part of life, too:air pollution in some cities and regions. People are used to it. Most of the time it\u2019s not terribly bad, and unfortunately air is more or less polluted in most (if not all) cities of the world. I take break from cities and travel once in a while to other countries or areas in China (such as Yunnan, Hainan) where the air is clean.internet problems. Although the networks are fast, but due to traffic monitoring some sites are blocked (Google, popular social networks, and some news sites) or work slowly. This Internet control has not only political purpose, but it\'s good for the development of Chinese Internet companies.you shouldn\'t be lazy and start learning the language and culture. It is very worthy. Although you always get help and generally friendly attitude, you need to do your part and learn at least the basics of Mandarin. Unlike in HK, in the mainland little effort is made to translate anything into English (beyond road signs and metro announcements). It pays a lot to know at least common phrases and basics of characters writing (\u6c49\u5b57). It is a lot of fun actually.Overall, China is fast pace, generally efficient, straightforward, but you need to get used to it and learn ways of doing things. They may be not what you are used to coming from another country.\nBecause, as Westerners, China is the macaroni to our cheese. The yin to our yang if you will.In the West, we tend to emphasize freedom, individualism, the state being the collective wills of the several individuals under it and nothing more. Big collective pushes for \u2018the Greater Good\u2019 take the back seat unless it\u2019s really necessary.In China, they tend to emphasize stability, collectivism, the state being a parental body that knows what is good for you even if your short-sightedness tells you otherwise. Individual rights take the back seat unless the lack thereof start to threaten stability.While we keep fighting about which extreme of the continuum is better, in reality they are two halves of a whole.Westerners travel to China and marvel at the speed and practicality with which Chinese can build massive, ultra-modern cities (regardless whether a centuries-old temple was demolished to build it or not)Chinese travel to Europe and marvel at the protected buildings of historical/heritage value preserved perfectly (tough luck if you want to build a highway that will boost economic growth, try building around Ye Olde Tavern).Westerners travel to China and marvel at the safety and efficiency among the Chinese people as the economy powers forth and people\u2019s standard of living increases without any major glitches.Chinese travel to the West and marvel at the creativity and innovation in Western society as with its decentralized, individualistic space for people to do things differentlyI love Western culture with its Socratic approach to problems and Enlightenment values deeply as much as I love Chinese culture with its Confucian values and strong history of science, progress and love of knowledge.The reason why I think China is great is because it clearly demonstrates the strengths of an alternative to Western statecraft - just as much as the West clearly demonstrates the strengths of an alternative to Chinese statecraft. This is how we and China can both reexamine our own established political \u2018operating systems\u2019 and improve them where we can.\nI\'ll provide empirical evidence as to why it is important by firstly answering with another question.Why do Jews and the West care still about the Holocaust?More people died during the Nanking massacre than did during the two A-bombs in Japan, yet the A-bombs are much more covered in Japanese history, repeatedly, than the Nanking massacre by far (or all other Japanese war atrocities for that matter).The reason being? China and Japan are in disagreement of the severity of the atrocities as well as the number of dead (mostly since few records remain from the Japanese side largely due to the Japanese burning all evidence during the end of the war). Yet westerners that were there are the biggest sources of the atrocities.*I\u2019ll update with more information time to time*** I did a bit more digging into how the Japanese administration goes on sidelining the issue and learned the method is both simple and well thought out. They simply shift the blame when one party to the issue is asked about it and what we get in return is a triangle of denial. When the government is asked, they blame the teachers; when the teachers are asked, they blame the Education Ministry; when the Education Ministry is asked, they blame the central government. This way, people don\'t really know what\'s really going on and who\'s lying or not because they\'ll believe whomever they trust most.***EDIT*(Japanese \u2018loss\u2019 of information on the matter has much to do with the US investigation of Japan\'s biological warfare department and subsequent cover up of the matter due to the American interest in the data and the higher ups wanting to keep the data away from the Soviets. Initially, the US Bio warfare corps sent legal experts to investigate war crimes but was stopped by scientists of the same division, though many who initially investigated were misled by Japanese translators who were actually former members of Unit 731, and it was in later inquiries that the Joint Chiefs of staff, notably General MacArthur, decided that the info provided by the Japanese scientists were valuable for the US and decided in a conference with other US department heads to withhold the information in top secret intelligence channels and not submit them to War Crimes programs.Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc...The reason why this info is relavent to the matter is simply that during investigations for Unit 731\u2019s crimes, the Allies had no whitnesses who could testify, since documents were kept hidden or destroyed, compared to the Nuremberg trials where there were many witnesses who could testify. This is due to the fact that the Japanese military scientists left no survivors who could testify in part for Chinese lives lost. The only few relavent prosecutions that were carried out were only based on American POW accounts that Americans were tested on. Aside from that, it seems the lives of non-Americans didn\'t matter as much to the administration. In the case of Nanjing, if the Americans authorities pushed further on the matter then proper justice would have prevailed but they didn\'t, unlike in Europe. This is also a great source on the matter:https://www.archives.gov/files/i...There was ample evidence to prosecute but most came out to the public after the trials ended.*Unlike in Europe where one central repository of information and prosecutions took place, War crimes trials against the Japanese were conducted by America, the USSR, Republic of China, People\u2019s Republic of China (after 1949), the Filipinos, the British, the Dutch, the French, and even the Portuguese (they had Chinese possessions, mainly Macau, and other colonies in the region) and Australians (Mostly having to do with those capture by the Australian and New Zealand armies) independently of each other. Thus, the American government saw no need to have a single repository of Japanese war crimes due to soviet involvement and didn\'t pursue them aggressively since they saw Japan as a gift of sorts to use as a buffer against Communism in the Far East. Though, it was America that had captured the wartime administration who were the most heinous criminals, yet they were let go due to \u2018lack\u2019 of evidence and the need for a strong Japan. Both the ROC and PRC tried Japanese War criminals in the hundreds. The soviets, however, did capture 6 members of Unit 731 when they entered Manchuria and put them on trial and later handed over hundreds of other Japanese war criminals to the PRC in 1949 for prosecution, but America brushed them off as being \u201cpropoganda\u201d most of the time, even if they were legitimate prosecutions.\u201cAlthough many notorious war criminals went unpunished and lived prosperous and prestigious lives, it is important to recognize that thousands of Japanese war crimes were prosecuted. Twenty-eight Class A war criminals accused of crimes against peace, conventional war crimes, and crimes against humanity included many of Japan\u2019s wartime leaders, such as Prime Minister Gen. To\u0304jo\u0304 Hideki. The Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal, the counterpart of Nuremberg, began in May 1946 and ended in November 1948 with the conviction of twenty-five of these defendants. Seven, including To\u0304jo\u0304, were hanged, sixteen were sentenced to life imprisonment (of whom four died in prison), and two received lesser terms. Of the three remaining, two died during the proceedings, and one was declared unfit for trial. The Japanese government paroled all those imprisoned by 1956 and the Foreign Ministry released them unconditionally in April 1958. Allied nations also held war crimes trials throughout Asia and the Pacific. Americans, British, Australians, Dutch, French, Filipinos, and Chinese held trials at forty-nine locations between October 1945 and April 1956. The British prosecuted numerous Japanese for war crimes in Southeast Asia, including those involved in the construction of the Thai- Burma railway of death, immortalized as the Bridge over the River Kwai. Australian prosecutors worked in conjunction with British and American courts to bring Japanese to justice and tried large numbers of Japanese at Amboina, Dutch East Indies, and at Rabaul, New Britain. China tried at least 800 defendants, including some involved in the Nanjing massacre. France and the Netherlands tried several hundred more. The French brought to justice a Japanese civilian on Java who forced dozens of women into prostitution for the military authorities, and the Dutch condemned Japanese to death for the murder of indigenous people and Dutch prisoners. In late 1949 at Khabarovsk, the Soviet Union also put twelve Japanese on trial for biological warfare crimes\u2014six were members of Unit 731, two of Unit 100, an independent biological warfare entity, and four from elsewhere\u2014and later transferred several hundred Japanese ex-servicemen suspected of war crimes to the People\u2019s Republic of China, where Chinese authorities judged them in the mid-1950s. Of 5,379 Japanese, 173 Taiwanese, and 148 Koreans tried as class B and C war criminals for conventional crimes, violations of the laws of war, rape, murder, maltreatment of prisoners of war, about 4,300 were convicted, almost 1,000 sentenced to death, and hundreds given life imprisonment.\u201d\u201cThe total number of Chinese deaths in Nanjing remains a subject of dispute. While the Chinese government and historians insist that some 300,000 Chinese were massacred by the Japanese in and around Nanjing\u2014a figure from the postwar trials in Nanjing\u2014 Japanese historians have offered different estimates ranging from thousands to over 100,000. Significantly, newly discovered Japanese documents, which include the diaries of several key commanders as well as official war journals from one-third of all the Japanese regiments involved in that battle, indicate that at least tens of thousands of disarmed Chinese soldiers were executed by Japanese troops at the order of their commanders. As a result, in the mid-1980s, a representative of the veteran group Kaiko\u0304sha offered an apology to the Chinese people on its behalf.In addition to the Rape of Nanking, the \u201c three All\u201d Campaign\u2014for \u201cKill all, burn all, loot all,\u201d the Chinese description of the Japanese Army\u2019s tactics in attacking Communist guerrilla forces in north China\u2014has long been central in Communist China\u2019s history of the war against Japan. Many earlier studies relied solely on the testimonies of Chinese victims and survivors. Only recently have historians in Japan begun to systematically study anti-guerrilla operations in north China, including such practices as creating a \u201cno- man\u2019s land\u201d by corroborating Japanese sources with Chinese evidence. The Japanese use of biological and chemical weapons (to be discussed later) and the bombing of China\u2019s wartime capital Chongqing have become an issue for Chinese historians and activists.\u201d(https://www.archives.gov/files/i...)This one paragraph captures why it\'s important to pressure the Japanese government to be held fully accountable for war crimes:\u201cWhen confronted by advocacy and human rights groups, the Japanese government insisted these issues had been settled by stipulations of the peace treaty signed in San Francisco in September 1951. Nothing more needed to be said on the matter. Not only did Japanese authorities refuse to acknowledge any wartime responsibility, but several conservative politicians and senior bureaucrats went so far as to publicly denounce the accusations as groundless historical revisionism and Japan bashing. There was, of course, a domestic political dimension to the accusations (no candidate from the conservative ruling party, the LDP, could win an election by blaming Japan for a war of aggression), but the hard- line offcial Japanese position created the impression in the United States that Japanese war crimes and related subjects such as war guilt or the role of Emperor Hirohito in the war were taboo subjects in Japan.\u201d)Witness to War: \'War orphan\' recounts feeling of abandonment (This article is about a Japanese citizen who was relocated to Manchukuo close to the end of the war and her story of how the Japanese government abandoned them in China with no way home and even those who did make it back to Japan received very little help from the Japanese government to compensate for the brainwashing and horrors of war they experienced. And these are Japanese being treated bad by their own government, so it\'s no surprise that the Japanese government and military would treat Chinese and other Asians as being beneath them.)Japanese War Orphans and the Challenges of Repatriation in Post-Colonial East Asia (This one talks about the story of Japanese \u201corphans\u201d who were left behind by the Japanese government in Manchuria and their story and hardships. It\'s important to understand that horrible things happened in the war and the Japanese government didn\'t care for Japanese lives outside Japan proper either)The other factor is that Japan has issued statements on \u201cGreat remorse\u201d and \u2018apologies\u2019 which people feel aren\'t sincere enough, which is also due to the fact that on several occasions the Japanese Ministry of Education has tried to sugarcoat history books and tell publishers to not depict \u201cdark history\u201d of Japan or to change entire sentences, such as the Japanese aggression in China to the Japanese advance into China.Source:Examining the Japanese History Textbook ControversiesIn fact, many people are unaware that the 89\u2032 Tiananmen Square student protest was actually the second of such protests.The one prior to it in 85\u2032 was also a student protest to then Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro\u2019s visit to the Yasukuni Shrine (Japanese War Memorial) as well as a textbook controversy back then too.This is interesting read:https://digitalarchive.wm.edu/bi...Nanjing Massacre - Facts & Summary - HISTORY.comThe Nanjing Massacre: Scenes from a Hideous Slaughter 75 Years Ago | TIME.com (Not for the squirmish)THE RAPE OF NANKING (1937) OR NANJING MASSACRE(This article by an Australian source talks about how the Nanjing Massacre is the most well documented atrocity due to the presence of Westerners who documented the slaughters)And for those with access to google and YouTube, a simple search for \u201c nanking massacre\u201d or \u201cNanjing massacre\u201d or even \u201cRape of Nanking\u201d will provide you with more than enough videos recorded by westerners who were in Nanjing, including the most notable one by US missionary in Nanjing, John Magee.Edit: I find it relevant to add a little information about the war in the Pacific front from the perspective of China with historical information, since the most over spoken accounts are almost all American when it comes to the Pacific theater in the Western historical minds.Here are some historical info on the Chinese part of the war that is being \u2018rediscovered\u2019 by the West:The \'Chinese Schindler\' who saved thousands of JewsForgotten ally? China\'s unsung role in World War IIMassacres and Atrocities of WWII in the Pacific Region(This talks about the various crimes of the Japanese during the onset of the war in 1931 when Japan invaded Manchuria)Imperial Japan - history-of-ww2(This link is importnant in that it shows how Japan\'s expansion and war was more prominently controlled by its military under Tojo than the Emperor or the central government, both of which were fairly weak during the time due an internal war between Japanese liberals and ultra-conservatives - the ultra-conservatists (ultra-nationalists) won. Japan was ruled by the military, meaning the massacres were systematic because they were ordered by the military)Here is a quote from the article that talks about how the military came to power:\u201cBetween 1928 and 1932, Japan faced domestic crisis. Economic collapse associated with the Great Depression provoked spiralling prices, unemployment, falling exports and social unrest. In November 1930, the Prime Minister Hamaguchi Osachi was shot by an ultra-nationalist. In summer 1931, as control slipped away from the civilian government, the army acted independently to invade Manchuria. Troops quickly conquered the entire border region, establishing the puppet state of Manchukuo. Though the League of Nations condemned the action, it was powerless to intervene, and Japan promptly withdrew its membership. International isolation fed ultra-nationalism. Mayors, teachers and Shinto priests were recruited by ultra-nationalist movements to indoctrinate citizens.In May 1932, an attempt by army officers to assassinate Hamaguchi\u2019s successor stopped short of becoming a full-blown coup, but ended rule by political parties. Between 1932 and 1936, admirals ruled Japan. Within government, the idea of the \u2018Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere\u2019 emerged. This plan called for Asian unification against western imperialism under Japanese leadership, leading to Asian self-sufficiency and prosperity. In reality, it meant an agenda of Japanese imperial domination in the Far East.\u201d** I wanted to add a bit more, since the quote talks about the puppet state of Manchukuo. This is where the infamous Unit 731 (the Imperial Army\u2019s Biological warfare unit) was based.They did many heinous experiments on Chinese (all of whom they regarded as \u201clogs\u201d) which was later covered up by the American government when the war ended and the US needed a strong Japan to counter Communist China.(And yes, many of the people who did these heinous experiments are prominent doctors in their fields now)Here are some sources on it:A New Look at Japan\u2019s Wartime Atrocities and a U.S. Cover-UpUnmasking Horror -- A special report.; Japan Confronting Gruesome War Atrocity (from 1995)Human bones could reveal truth of Japan\'s \'Unit 731\' experimentsQ. and A.: Gao Yubao on Documenting Unit 731\u2019s Brutal Human Experiments70 years on, Unit 731\'s wartime atrocities fester in China\'s memory | The Japan TimesThis matter also concerns American POW\u2019s who were also experimented on and appalled by the fact that their own government covered up the crimes and let Japan off the hook.Japan revisits its darkest moments where American POWs became human experimentsNew Kyushu museum breaks taboo with POW vivisection display | The Japan TimesJapanese veteran admits vivisection tests on PoWsTruth Emerging on Ailing POWs, Japan Germ Unit**EDIT: PART 2**So I currently live with two Japanese exchange students from Osaka and Oita areas and when I asked them about such things their reply was \u201cwtf?! Is this for real??? We never learned about this! How can the government just cover this up?\u201dThey genuinely didn\'t know about the wrong doings of the military during the war or that their government was hiding it behind smoke and mirrors. They also said that it was a total shock for them when they first learned about it in history classes here and that they didn\'t cover such things in detail at all in their history classes in Japan. They also said their teachers just said that something bad happened in Nanjing and made no mentions of other things.\nGermany Chancellor Willy Brandt\u2019s famous Warschauer Kniefall to apologise for Holocaust.Former Japanese Prime Minister Junichir\u014d Koizumi\u2019s dressed up to visit Yasukuni Shrine to mourn convicted war criminals.The current Japanese Prime Minister Shinz\u014d Abe.We can forgive but we will never forget. But Japanese government won\u2019t let us.It\u2019s 300,000 lives, you are asking why we still care. We are human beings, not monsters.\nChinese has been hearing voices from Japan arguing that "Nanking Massacre" is a hoax, a fabrication, a war-time propaganda! And the activities of Japanese military in Nanking were in accordance with international law and were humane! Some even published a book arguing that the Tokyo Tribunal was \u201cvictor\'s justice\u201d only 2,000 deaths for the entirety of the massacre!SHAMELESS!!But IT\u2019S ALRIGHT NOW, Chinese WILL NOT care about the Nanjing massacre anymore~Back in 2015, the United Nation Education, Science and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has officially added China\'s Nanjing Massacre Documents in its Memory of the World Register.WOOO~HOO~ Case Closed\nThis question is not directed at me by virtue of me not being Chinese (I am Vietnamese). Also, none of my family relatives experienced neither oppression nor brutality the Japanese demonstrated so conspicuously in WW2.But I DO CARE about the Nanking massacre. It was in my first quarter of college in America. I had attained a sufficient level of English proficiency to start reading books written in English. I stumbled upon this book in a Barnes and Nobles store:The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II: Iris Chang: 8601300280783: Amazon.com: BooksThe content of book, in particular the graphic depiction of the murder, rape committed by the Japanese during 6 weeks of butchery at Nanking, engendered in me the deepest shock and anger. What provoked in me so much hatred was not only the number of victims murdered but also the manner in which the Japanese murdered them.Here are some examples of the acts of extreme barbarism perpetrated by the Japanese during the massacre:1/ Gang raped and impaling the vaginas of Chinese women and girls with sharp objects such as bamboo sticks, golf clubs, beer bottles, or sometimes even firecrackers.2/ Age did not shield female civilians from rapes. The Japanese could rightfully be regarded as the worst child rapists in the entirety of ww2 when they violated girls as young as 8\u201310 years old. They even violated the elderly above 80 years of age, nuns, university professors. Especially gruesome was the treatment inflicted on young girls. Because of their not-yet-mature bodies, the Japanese used knives to slice open their genitals to facilitate the rapes. According to eye witnesses, \u201cthe blood-stained, swollen and ruptured area between the girls\u2019 legs created a disgusting scene difficult for anyone to look at directly\u201d.3/ Live burial of thousands of people.4/ Burying people to waist-level in the ground and let German shepherds tear them apart.5/ Nailed women to the walls and brutalized or violated them6/ Suspended people by the tongues on the meat hooks and bayoneted them to death7/ Degraded entire families by forcing fathers to rape their daughters, brothers to rape their sisters, sons to rape their mothers. Anyone who defied would immediately be murdered.8/ Engaged in recreational beheading contest to break the monotony of murder (Contest to kill 100 people using a sword - Wikipedia)9/ Sliced open the abdomen of pregnant women and ripped out the unborn fetuses for amusement.And numerous more horrendous acts of sadism and brutality can be found throughout the book.After reading the book, my attitude toward the Japanese turned 180 degree. Whatever good will, respect and compassion I used to have for them died after reading the Rape of Nanking book and numerous other accounts of Japanese war crimes.What intensifies my anger and hatred toward them is the fact that they live in denial until this day. They painstakingly distort history by misrepresenting the Nanking massacre as merely Nanking incident, and insist that only a few thousands or at most tens of thousands had died compared to the Red Cross\u2019s statistics which indicated that 250000 and 300000 Chinese civilians and POWs had been murdered. In addition, they painstakingly censor details of all of their shameful atrocities, including the Nanking massacre, from history textbook so that the young generation of the Japanese will remain unaware of the atrocities. As the final insult, the Japanese continue to honor the war criminals enshrined at Yasukuni. That is no different from honoring Adolf Hitler and his henchmen in the middle of Berlin.Just like the Jews never want to forget the Holocaust, the Koreans never want to forget the humiliation under Japanese rule and the Comfort women, the Chinese can be pardoned for caring so much about an atrocity characterized by extreme brutality, sadism, and cruelty.My deepest condolence to the Chinese men, women whose lives were cruelly extinguished by the Japanese.\nBecause if you are human human, you will never forget the shock and the hit to your heart (if you have a righteous heart) when you first learned about those brutal deeds, especially when it happened to your people, your kind.What haunts you is more than such crimes as manslaughter, rape, but rather the lost of humanity to beast insanity under the cover of war, if you ever learned what had happened, not just a big volume of people were killed. It is not about the killing, it is more about how they were killed, raped, hurt, or tortured, and those victims were civilians, unarmed, without self-defense skills. Animals hunt for food, because they need to survive, it\u2019s a birthright. But a group of soldiers who were ordinary persons like you and me, killed for joy or for no reason with extremely brutal means (beyond description of any language), or could not show minimum sympathy as a human.In Chinese history, Chinese people had witnessed stories about human eating human fleshes during war, or starvation, whether ethnic invasions in Han people\u2019s land, or Chinese conquering other territories, but nothing had been so humanless as what they did , except for some individual lunatics or some brutal punishments implemented by the rulers that had existed for a reason, to punish crimes and enhance their rulings. But what they did, was a shere doing of anti-humanism.The above explains why we remember, and can also explain why Japanese keep denying those evildoings. Because they haven\u2019t found a way to explain to their younger generations why their kind could have done that. It\u2019s a normal but unacceptable response that when you can\u2019t explain, you lie or deny, in this case, to their younger generations.Just like, if someone\u2019s father is a very bad guy, in the jail, the mother might lie to her child that \u201cyour father died in an accident\u201d or \u201cyour father left us without reason\u201d, but wouldn\u2019t talk too much about it. Lack of real courage to tell the truth. A self-deception, an absolute lie. And in this case, it\u2019s not affecting only one family or one country, it has an effect internationally and even on the whole humanity.Just answer this question, there were multiple foreign powers combating in China during that time, why only Japanese were remembered as the evildoers by Chinese? Did China have one single reason to frame them?And, when you couldn\u2019t explain what happened, or you couldn\u2019t accept it, at least warn or alarm your young generation that such deeds, if they did happen, they were evil, you should never do it, because you deserve humanity.\nYes, Guizhou is one of the poorest provinces in China . We usually use these words to describe Guizhou, \u5929\u65e0\u4e09\u65e5\u6674\uff0c\u5730\u65e0\u4e09\u5c3a\u5e73\uff0c\u4eba\u65e0\u4e09\u6587\u94f6\uff0cmeans \u2018 No three days are sunny, No three foots land is flat, No three yuan people have\u2019.Guizhou province is mountainous area, and lacks infratructure, in the past decade China goverment have done lots of job to improve it.List of Highest International Bridges/Page 1 \uff0cquite a number of bridges are built in Guizhou province.This is per capita GDP ranking of Chinese provinces.Guizhou is the third from bottom.If you want to know about China, keep far away from chanels like \u2018China Uncensored\u2019 in Youtube, it\u2019s trash.\nGuess this video is talking about \u5174\u4e49 (Xingyi). If you search it in Baidu, Chinese searching engine, you will know that it\u2019s GDP in 2015 was 3.18 billion yuan (almost $467.6 million). Considering 848 thousands people in there, Xingyi\u2019s per capita GDP was 37.5 thousands yuan, lower than the average of the whole nation (54 thousands yuan) but higher than the average of Guizhou Province (29.8 thousands yuan). So I think maybe Xingyi is a more modern city in Guizhou Province.However, China is now trying their best to eliminate poverty, and poor provinces are developing quickly. I believe more and more cities in Guizhou Province will be like this. Welcome to China and visit it. :)\nGuizhou, like yunnan next door, are beautiful mountainous provinces with tons of ethnic diversity and relatively undeveloped. If you visit china, go to these places and you won\'t be disappointed. It is because they are relatively more undeveloped that makes them nice places. Farmers live more traditional lifestyles, sure it is a hard life for them and they would welcome more development, but overall they aren\'t unhappy. For tourists, this is a chance to see a more ideal china that haven\'t been yet completely transformed by development.\nSorry,the video you linked i can\'t watch because of Internet limit.In my view,every place has both lights and shadows.On one hand, it\'s poor,on the other hand,the scenery there can be very attractive.Some cities seem prosperous,there are also beggars.As a developing country,China inevitablely has some cities in extreme poverty,but eliminating poverty is on the agenda of the government,so their getting rid of poverty is on the way.Besides,China\u2019s territory is vast,its attractive sites are also countless.The picture you think unreal may be real.If you have a tour in China,you will have a better perception.\nWell, because it\u2019s a province. A province is big. So poor areas riches areas, All you can find. That\'s not propaganda, who will be that boring to make everyday video to do propagandas!\nDesmond CarolanThe question is somewhat strange to me. Most Chinese people do not see the PLA as their oppressors in any way, so they they do not need to "liberate themselves" from it.Certainly from talking to Chinese students both in London and Beijing, I can only agree with the view that Chinese people generally see the People\'s Liberation Army (PLA) in a positive light.The PLA is both admired and respected for its role in disaster relief and the fact that its soldiers are prepared to risk their lives in saving people. Several Chinese students also told me that the PLA provides a means for (mainly) young men from the poorest parts of China to escape poverty.The PLA provides them with good meals, good accommodation and clothing which they may not have had access to before joining. It moreover gives them training and skills that they can use when they leave the PLA,. Consequently, the PLA is a means of\xa0 social mobility and advancement for many people in China.In short, the Chinese People\'s Liberation Army is respected by the vast majority of the Chinese people for the work it does relieving the effects of natural disasters and the courage of its soldiers doing so. It also offers many young men from poor backgrounds opportunities that they otherwise would not have.\nBecause the PLA belongs to people.May be other country\u2019s army established only for national territory defense or military deterrence.But in China, Chinese people know what their army do for them.When the earthquake happenThis is the PLA\uff01When the flood come,This is the PLA\uff01When they leavePeople thank them\uff01What reason we have to attack them?They are our relatives.They has done too much for us\u2026\u2026\nBecause we are so poor we have no money to buy weapons, if you could provide us with following weapons we will attack the PLA with all might:Joint Strike Fighter*300 F22*200,Virginia class submarine*50,Hypersonic electromagnetic rail gun*30,F2000 assault rifle*2,000,000,DG51 Arleigh Burke class guided missile destroyer*50,XM307 automatic grenade launcher*2000,The V-22 Osprey transport aircraft*500,UGM-133 Trident-II*200,000\uff0cFord class aircraft carrier*20 .With all these and other neccessary machines and a military supply of 600 billion dollars every year, we Chinese can build a huge army to attack PLA.BTW, please lend the military bases and airports in the west Pacific and regions around China freely so we can place our men and machines.Please hand over the control of the GPS to the Chinese people so we are not blind.Let\u2019s go and destory the evil communists!\nQuestion question, are you from China yourself? If you are not then it would be hypocritical to assume that outsiders can think of things better for people that are in china itself. What I\'ve learned so far is most people like to assume that democracy and \u201cfree market\u201d is for everybody in the world. People from the outside easily judge people in other countries as unhappy with their lot. They may not allow their citizens to go out and make a fool of themselves and post it online but this does not define contentment and happiness for every person outside your social strata.Why should they attack those who are meant to help and protect them?\nIn response to all the sinophile answers, the name \u201cPeople\u2019s Liberation Army\u201d, does have a rather oppressive/ominous jingle to it for westerners. More often than not, it gets confused with the Palestine Liberation Organization, which conjures up images of mideast terrorism (it certainly did for me, when i first heard the acronym, while growing up in the west). Just by changing this english name to something more mild (and nothing else), China could tremendously reduce its perceived military tensions with the west.Media is all about getting viewers attention with troll-baiting titles (Quora included), and China\u2019s military literally hands itself on a silver platter to western-media with such an inflammatory-sounding english name. Here are some example news title i just dug up on google. Imagine how less ominous they would sound, if china\u2019s military got rid of the PLA english moniker:Why don\'t chinese people attack the PLA with all their might and liberate themselves? (Yeah, down with the oppressive PLA! they\u2019re related to the PLO right?)\u2026Why don\'t chinese people attack China\u2019s Army with all their might and liberate themselves? (Wtf has china\u2019s army ever done to its own people recently? What an obviously stupid Quora question)People\'s Liberation Army ups its recruitment gameChina\u2019s Army ups its recruitment gameXi Jinping Takes Command Of The People\'s Liberation ArmyXi Jinping Takes Command Of China\u2019s ArmyPeople\'s Liberation Army to become most modern military by 2020China\'s Army to become most modern military by 2020\nYour neighbour\u2019s father once came to your house when you were still a baby. He asked your father to give up the house because he is much better at managing it. Your father refused. So he killed your father, raped your mother and killed her, took your brother to some terrible experiments and killed him, raped your elder sister to death and killed your little sister who was only 2 months old at the time.Your neighbor\u2019s mother, at the same time, was so proud of what her husband had done. She made nice meal for him and wished him can kill some more in your home. And then, someone stronger came, killed your neighbour\u2019s mother and made the man stop. However the man gave all that he took from your house, like the data of experiments on your brother, to that someone for exchange. So, that someone let him go, freely. But, well, that\'s another story. Let\'s come back to you and your neighbor.To be fair, both you and your current neighbor were too young to remember anything back that time. Now you grow up and his dad is dead already. Well, the past is the past, let it go, you thought.But the other day, you passing your neighbor\u2019s house and find, oh, he is having a celebrating party. A party, cool, you thought.\u201cWhat is the party for?\u201d you ask.\u201cFor my feather and his great killing skill and the glory fight that he won from your father!\u201d he said, looking in your eyes with a lovely smile, \u201cthe past is past, you won\'t mind right?\u201d\u201cYes!He is so cuuute! His mother was also killed! He is a victim! You must forgive him, you bad Chinese!\u201d shout someone who watched this.\nChinese have every right to be hateful to Japan, because of what they did.That being said, the past is the past, and most Japanese people are not like that now, but when you hurt a people as much as they did back then, it\'s difficult to move on. For many Chinese, it\'s impossible to move on.That being said, it doesn\'t help that 40% of Chinese television is war against Japan shows and movies. That and parents and teachers religiously teach their children that Japan is bad, and we must hate them.I have had many students, 6 and 7 years old, who tell me \u201cI hate Japan! I want them to burn!\u201d And I just frown and say \u201cWhy?\u201d They say \u201cBecause they are bad, that\'s why!\u201dThere\'s nothing we can do about it when it\'s a part of their culture to hate Japan.Answer: Why? Because it\'s a popular idea that sells, and remembering what they did to China back then puts a fire in many Chinese hearts, one that us foreigners just cannot begin to comprehend.In a way similar to any blockbuster film about Iraq and 9/11.\nNot that hateful as you thought. Haha.In the Chinese quora, zhihu, there is a serial of questions \u201cHow developed/good is XXX(a certain country)\u201d. The number of views and followers may show the attitude of zhihu users.Question: How Good is Japan? follower 34340 view 8899366Question: How Developed is Japan? follower 82160 view 8389399And for the US:Question: How Developed is the US? follower 32886 view 1256134for northern EuropeQuestion: How Developed is northern Europe? follower 10569 view 438076for the UK, France and GermanySo\u2026.among all the main developed country in this world, we like Japan the most\u2026\nwell for starters, all of the japanese pms refuse to acknowledge the war crimes committed - apologies were half hearted and me, a westernized chinese person will still boycott japanese products simply because in 1940, my grandfather and 4 other relatives of mine were brutally executed while fighting the japs - no pow camps - just a bayonet through your chest - my great-grandmother had to throw my grandmother into the bushes so the japanese wouldn\u2019t find my grandmother and kill her or perform sick and twisted experiments on her - they did this to basically the entire country of china - every single chinese person in china has an extremely personal connection like melets not forget to mention that shinzo abe still goes to shrines honouring war criminals\nI am tired of these questions polluting my FEED. Just one last time.There\'s a special shrine in Japan, \u8b77\u56fd\u795e\u793e/shrine honouring the war dead, which has branches (shrines are like banks) in almost all the Japanese cities.What does the war dead mean?Including all the killers who had invaded my motherland in the history, from the first Sino-Japan war, Russo-Japan war (occured in China), the illegal occupation of NorthEast China, to the WW2.Including those who attacked Pearl Harbour, and who slaughtered and enslaved countless East/SouthEast Asian people.These war criminals have been and will be honoured officially in Japanese shrines.Current Japan has no part in the military past? What are you talking about: Abe Shinzo\u2019s grandpa is a A class war criminal.Given the killer shows no regret, are you asking me why we are not polite?\nThe reason why I decided to live in Shanghai for such a long time is very simple: I\'m happier here despite China holds some shortcomings we all know (pollution, house price, food safety, etc\u2026).So, why am I happier here?Mainly because:I became so familiar with the city to the point I feel it\'s now \u201cmy place\u201d, like a kind of second hometownI have good friends I do care aboutI have learned things that made me a better personAnd I do care a lot about personal safety. It feels great to be in a huge city where you can be free to walk around at any time of the day and without threatsEven in the past I got opportunities to go back to Europe with higher salary and better package, but I declined it. Perhaps I\'m a sentimental guy, but I do mind to stay where I feel happy. Money is important but isn\'t everything; what matters the most is that you are in harmony with yourself, whether it\'s in China or any other place in the world, you should follow what you really want and what makes you feel better.On the other hand, there are many Chinese people who go abroad for study but eventually they\'ll move back to China at one point. At least that\'s what I noticed in my ten years experience here.Pursue your happiness and you\'ll be fine.\nAs someone else has commented here, many foreigners who enjoy living in China have an underlying reason/purpose for being here.Some believe it is the land of opportunity in the 21st century. They expect to come here and are willing to spend half to all of their lives trying to become successful.Some are here for experience. They think by gaining international experience in a country that is becoming more and more important for corporations, they will have an advantage over others when moving back.Some are fascinated with Chinese culture or asian anime, so they move to an Asian country.Some are here for the language. Mastering Chinese is their life long pursuit.Some are fascinated by Chinese women or men. They come here looking for a husband or wife.Some are here to get closer to their roots. They were raised by Chinese parents but lack a true connection and the experience of living in China.Talking to all of these types of foreigners in China who are positive about living here. Most of their reasoning is financial. They believe that in China, you can have a decent life and save money as well. Their above purpose is what makes them believe this is a great place to be long-term.Most Chinese people migrate for 3 main reasons. Education, Pollution, and Less Competition/More Oppurtunity. All of these reasons are because of their children to get a better life in the future - especially the first 2.\nEvery country has unique opportunities and unique competitive forces. Competition in China for jobs, educational opportunities, etc. is very high. They have a huge widely dispersed population and it can be difficult to differentiate yourself and get access to those opportunities. They generally emigrate to get access to unique opportunities that are a better fit for their situation or to become part of a culture that rewards particular traits, behaviors, skills, education, etc.There\u2019s a lot of focus in China on better integrating and doing business with western companies, so there are lots of opportunities for people who can bridge those cultural gaps. In some companies, just being a Western ex-patriot can make you somewhat of a rock-star. However, if you\u2019re a highly motivated, individualistic person from rural China without a formal education, you may find that Western culture will reward that drive and passion more than Chinese culture will.What it comes down to is that there\u2019s no \u201cone best country\u201d to live or work in. It\u2019s all very situational and has a lot to do with your personality, skills, experience, education, background, etc. People who have traits or abilities that are surplus or even detrimental in their country can often relocate to where those traits or abilities are in demand. But, there\u2019s so much variety and diversity in people and cultures that you\u2019ll often see traffic moving in both directions.\nI\u2019m not sure I have anything Terribly Insightful to add to the thread, but I\u2019d like to share a brief synopsis of my time in China. I moved here at the beginning of 2015 to take a job I was very excited about. (The details aren\u2019t important.) Here are three reasons I love living in China: 1. This may well be the warmest, most welcoming country I have ever been to outside the US. 2. Despite what one may see or hear, the urban areas are clean and modern. I mean, nothing\u2019s perfect, but I\u2019d rather live in Tianjin (where I am) than in most metropolitan areas in the US. (Bear in mind that my Chinese sucks, and I still feel this way.) 3. The incredible blend of complexity, diversity and thousands of years of history is absolutely fascinating. As someone else pointed out, it\u2019s no more appropriate to think of China as a single country than it is to think about Europe or Central America as being single countries. (Central America might be the better analogy, because of the nominal homogeneity of language.)Sure, there are things that are very different, and the monolithic government and bureaucracy can be challenging - but I knew those risks when I moved here, and don\u2019t have any bad feelings. In fact, in general, if you don\u2019t do anything to cause public embarrassment, or embarrassment to the government, it\u2019s actually a very liberal society.Just my opinion, but I\u2019m happy here, and grateful to have welcomed into the country.\nThere are 1.4 billion people living in China, millions of Chinese people who migrate abroad won\u2019t make a huge difference in statistic. The ratio is almost insignificant to our society, and there\u2019s no notable relevance between the number of migrants and living standard in China. Let\u2019s say the US: an ideal place for people who pursue business startups, job opportunities, education fulfillment and high living standard. But even in the most developed country in our planet, the number of people who abandon American citizenship every year skyrockets these years: some of them migrate abroad, some of them withdraw their business, some of them book an airline ticket back to their motherland without doubts and regrets. All nations have flaws and merits, people migrate for thousands of reasons.Millions of Chinese people migrate because they have different career orientation, lifestyle choice, education options or marriage choice. I was born and raised in China, been traveled to different countries around the world. I appreciate the advancement and superiority of western countries in educational system, environmental protection, healthcare, individual freedom and diversity of career choices, but undoubtedly the rising problems and upcoming dilemmas are jeopardizing the social structure and western values in developed countries.China is not a terrifying place to live in, I don\u2019t want to elaborate since some other answers are quite thorough and comprehensive about it. The charisma and charm of China would be embraced if you experience it by yourself. :) 2governing\u201d 1four 4hanging 1aggression 3increase 1thus, 1Western 22starved, 2Restrained 1come,This
