The Committee of 100 survey that I have mentioned here in the past asked the question of American opinion leaders -

Americans were asked -

What are the most admirable traits of the Chinese and their culture? Here are numbers four through one.

4. Commitment to Education - 13%. The Chinese are indeed diligent students. The only people I know who study harder than the Chinese are their children. Oh!, they are Chinese, too, I suppose.

3. One in six - the History - 16%. China has a looong history, and everything that was discovered, created, or found was done there first - 8-)

2. A full one-fourth of Americans admire China's Family Values most - 25%. Admiration might give way to envy. The Chinese place such a huge value on the family, especially the parent-child-parent relationship. I love to watch my wife interact with her parents.

And the number one most admired trait of the Chinese by Americans -

1. More than one-third (35%) admire the Work Ethic of the Chinese - the Chinese do work hard, my wife works hard. But then nearly everyone works harder than most Americans... but let that not take anything away from how hard the Chinese work.

Is their economy growing great guns? It is not doing so by luck. It is because they have their hands to the plows.

What do you think?

What do you admire most about the Chinese?

"What do you admire most about the Chinese?"

Their extremely cheap dental care costs and their low tech way of removing flem.

That was a little joke. Nobody's perfect.

I agree with your post. I like and admire the Chinese people....without the red star please.

Too be fair the vast majority of chinese people in the USA are here because they excelled in chinese schools before begin allowed to go overseas to continue their education.

In other words we don't see chinese blue collar types very often. This has colored our peception of them.

For example nobody that makes waves in china is allowed to immigrate without a fight. So I preceive chinese people as having an 'excessive resprect for authority' as all those I've worked with have had that problem.

China's Family Values?? Yeah if you were fortunate enough not to be born a female.

My #1 - Chinese girls have cute little butts!

You mean, rather than to "stab" your food with a fork?

I often see Occidental families with Oriental children. That would be a result of the Chicom's dictated one child per family law. It is further ironic that an American white family can more readily adopt a Chinese child than they could adopt an American black child.

Their cooking.

Especially Honey-glazed Cashew Shrimp. To die for. The pinnacle of culinary perfection.

[Clintonfatigued]

Chinese banks have over $1 trillion in bad debts. And their pollution of water and air is so overwhelming that it's causing a health crisis.

The Chinese are every bit as capable of bad decisions as Americans are.

I admire how Chiang Kai Shek managed to turn Taiwan, an underdeveloped, primitive island into a modern bastion of capitalism and liberty.

Oh I'm sorry, but for me this is the real banner of China -
