Well, that's why I said any country who has the power to will do the same as China. France is no exception and tries to work for its interests (well, for the interests of its billionaires...).Accusing you of having neo-colonial tendencies and some dishonest propaganda is also the view of some netizens on our side. It's interesting in a sense.Thanks for your answer, your point of view will trigger some thoughts for me. In fact in my country there are some of people think Americans and Europeans are stupid, at least are unfair. Sometimes we are inevitably biased because of our subjective positions. But after reading some points here I learned more about what drive to people live in different territory make different choices deeply. I can't say I like your point of view, but I genuinely like it this way, and your earnest answer makes me want to thank you for your courtesy.Why China's reputation looks so bad in the world? Just because we are a socialist country?I suppose it's partly for this reason, but also because chinese words are tricky and doesn't match its action. China's presence in Africa or in Europe is all but mutual respect and non-interference. It actually looks more like neo-colonialism. It's not a blame though, other countries do the same, especially if they have the ability to.Maybe you’re referring to Pinochet coming into power? No I don’t call that democracy. I call that a coup.Pinochet came to power with the support of the US and was not a communist at all,quite the opposite...
Your words didn't offend me the least, no worries.
Some people believe the U.S. is extreme, anti-intellectual, divied and brainwashed by religious power.Religious? I don't know if the US is very religious (or their religion is neoliberalism/king dollar/apple..?), but for the rest, it sures want to divide and brainwash the people, partly by intellectual means. That's not even a secret and it's an ideology shared by the whole Occident if not most/all the leaders. The funniest is that this is ideology is public and that leaders won't hesitate to remind that the pleb is made of a bunch of stupid people.
As a girl who lives in atheist country all the time, although I know beliving the god exists may bring people hope and teach them love in theory, in the heart I can't accept my country will be like that and I can't understand those who are devoutly religious, only I can do is showing my respect and hoping things will be all right.If the religion is kind of neoliberalism, then China already adopted that religion, but in a different way that the US did. Chineses people already are very consumerists and paying a lot attention to money from what I've seen. They are also more consumerists than European people in my opinion, for the ones who can buy stuff, obviously.
As for being devoutly religious, well, some people are educated this way, but it would be wrong to take the US as an example in this case... US people who are religious are mostly protestants, and of a special kind at taht. You won't find the same behaviour in catholicism, or even in some branch of protestantism in Europe. You could also see extremism among the atheists as well, although it is hard to reach a certain level...
Maybe because we can't turly understand others who live in too different environment.Well, I suppose it would be fine if the Occident understood that...
