I have eradicated China from my mind entirely.

中国有着华而不实的虚荣心，非常在意世界投射过来的目光，不惜花费大笔的金钱，财力，为的就是要证实自己的强大。 对于这点，我非常的不喜欢。

I think many of us have different opinions on different levels. If you are talking about the political system, then I generally have a low opinion of politicians in general (not just China). I remember Tianamen square, have read a great deal about the treatment of Christians and other religious followers, and know of a few other ugly incidents, and they were terrible for the people who lived there. But I don't think of a country as synonymous with their politics. (Quite often, the country is a victim of politics). If you are talking about the people, then I think of all people as individuals. Therefore, I don't see all of China as what I may find in one person. I expect there to be good people and bad people and many people in between those two positions. That's how it is with people. I generally find people interesting, and that includes the Chinese people who are my colleagues, or the ones with whom I have made friends. If you are talking about the history, then I am fascinated by Chinese history. I would love to see many of the places I have read about. If you are talking about the land, then there are many places in China i want to visit. I want to make it to see the Great Wall, the Silk Road, experience the country as close to natively as possible, eat there, meet friends there, and carry those friendships forward. The people and the culture are what make it interesting for me. I'm much more interested in China, the people and culture. My wife and I are planning to make a trip in the next few years. I'm looking forward to it.

This question is often asked at Italki. I have been to China and enjoyed people's friendliness and the tourist attractions.

之所以提问这个问题，是因为最近发现针对同一件事情，我在中国听到的报道和消息与一些外国朋友是不同的，所以，我非常想知道世界是怎样看中国的。我们每天听到的新闻、消息，甚至我们的历史书，可信吗？谁得到的信息是可信而绝对真实的呢？
