You learn about china form the Western media. I must to say, I really don’t see any love, generosity, friendship or cooperation from the recent report of Western media and politics,except full of bias/distortion. And Most of the time, you westerns don't really realize that they are just biases - you think you're just being reasonable. ... In my experience,you (American/ westerns)always believe in youselves,as you do not believe in others.You permit all things to youselves,and that which you call sin in others.

That is how we see the Chinese, just as you have described us. Think about it.

I would like to appologize if my words hurted you，I don't know what I can do to let you feel better.I had tried to speak it in a logic and clear way.I have nothing hostility，I hope you can understand. I would like to spend some time to reply your post seriously later. I hope this will promote the understanding and friendship between you and Chinese. I would do it later when I have more time.And I expect more opinions from you。

As another American guy said, the Chinese are very shy. In fact, when we say something here we are afraid that may hurt someone. I always hurt and you always hurt me. That’s because we believe in something different. But we - you and me - don’t want to hurt each other. We are all human. I really appreciate your care for us, especially those now in earthquake area so much. And I do believe you are good persons. I can tell you that when I read some, if not all, western medias, I really fell hurt so much, because i feel that they don’t look us as equal. They think they are the judger. Maybe they think most Chinese hate the gov, but i can tell you NO. While when we say no, they call us nationalism.
