Thanks for sharing your views on that !
@ laotou : I like your post but i reckon that the political issues you were talking about are not the privilege of the US. Europeens government and actualy the rest of the world as well try to do the same. However i agree completly with you on that, America should get an award for the best "how to start a war" !
American is a powerful partner of china but they deal together for 14% of their external commercial balance, so 85% are the rest of the world, so different languages or different english accents.
@geeze : Also, for those who said that amercian english is easier... well i work with a girl from Mississippi, and her accent his definitely trickier than an italian accent for instance !!
I think China is a bit jealous of America, the best friend enemy.
And the vast majority of chinese have low education, so they just "eat" what they see on TV, so, like people said above, for chinese parents "white = americans", as much as "japanese = evil", "indian = dirty", "french = romantic", "jews = smart and stingy", "italy = pizza", ... i heard all these things !
and for black people... my school said once : "we cant afford to have a black teacher, kids and parents will be scared."
BUT, to counterbalance, i still think chinese are more open to foreigners than in many other countries.
@ekoorbr : you're right, but i can't help thinking "what a waste of money" for them to send their kids their !!
(i met a girl who spend 2 years in the states, uni in Missouri, she barely interacted with locals, so she came back with an embarrassing poor english !! Now she lives in china working for a 4k yuan/month salary... what a waste of time and money)
