[quote=CHRISWAUGHBJ,231091]I don't think China is any harder to understand than any other country. Sure, it's history and culture are vastly different from Western or African or Middle Eastern or Indian history and culture, but isn't that more reason to study? Anyway, it's definitely possible to learn and continue learning. I think the reasons for misunderstanding is not because China is somehow more complex or different, but because for so long China has been held up as a model of "un-understandable", when in fact it's been the sheer laziness and arrogance of certain key westerners that has made China "un-understandable". Right from the earliest days of Sino-Western contact, Chinese and Western people have been learning about and coming to understand each other and there's no reason this can't continue.

As for "many people of other countries don't know there is a nation called China": If you're talking about people who've never had the chance to go to any school of any kind, fine, but those same people will have never heard of my homeland. In fact, many Chinese people who have attended school have never heard of my homeland, and many highly educated Chinese no very, very little about my homeland. So what? In this respect, China is no different from anywhere else, again.

Anyway, I hope we can all work to further understanding of each other everywhere.[/quote]
