The criticism that from disrespect stranger to China means disrespect to the Chinese people and the Chinese civilization. When discussing conflict topic, we should consider the problem in the abstract and persuade through reasoning. The fact is that no matter matter what country that we face, doing in this way is harmless. They know us more than we know them. Our clothes and technology product is made in China. However, the channel that we get to know the Chinese is just from news reports. follow They see our movies, follow NBA, eat and drink at KFC and Starbucks, drive buick and post the poster with the actors and athletes in the shop. They celebrate Christmas warmly without performing the religious it’ parts. Nevertheless, it’s hard to say that is the representation of reality reality of America and American. The negative words American politicians said is often taken seriously in china. They found great difficulties in understanding it. These words just like American sports coaches to

When major controversy appeared, Chinese people of all ages have pointed out that we should recognize recognize they has made great achievements in a very short period of time, even if their way is not fully ticked off. Narrowing the gap between rich and poor will be one of the most important economic task. The requirements of success from parents countries and parents to young Chinese are far more than what young American face. The Chinese people are more willing to deal with acquaintances. In China, business and sharing information will be brought though the established friendship ties. [The commentator say] Please note word‘an’ that the word‘an’in title is the key. This means that it only represents an American of Chinese knowledge, do not represent the United States government, nor on behalf of the American people. So, even if there is not profound or it’ only wrong, it’s only personal views. Chinese often make a mistake. When they speech and reasoning, they always use a collective noun instead of their own.

【点评者说】请注意:标题中的“一个”非 常关键,这意味着它只代表一个美国人对中国 人的认识,不代表美国政府,也不代表美国人 民。 所以,即便有认识不深刻,即便有错,也只是 个人观点。中国人讲话、说理时常犯的一个 错误是,总是用一个集体性名词来代替自己。
