The Chinese work ethic certainly deserves to be on top of the list; every Chinese person I have encountered had strong aspirations to do well for himself - and to invest the time and effort needed to accomplish this. Unlike the American popular culture - which urges people to "just relax, man!" - the entirety of the Chinese culture pressures individuals to continue to work and exert themselves, and take pride in the fact. Hard work is the natural, proper, dignified state of man. See Dr. Belew’s blog at ZhonghuaRising

The underground persecuted Chinese Catholics who risk and endure physical beatings and severe financial penalties to practice their Faith, especially the Bishops and priests who heroically resist the state-controlled "Patriotic" Catholic Association.

I am also impressed with the many who resist the state-imposed one child policy despite incredidibly severe penalties that can extend to other family members and even neighbors and co-workers.

What is your obsession with chinese?

[jebeier]

I think the one-child policy and the sex-selective abortions are what I admire most...

...the Chinese do work hard, my wife works hard. But then nearly everyone works harder than most Americans...

Americans work smart and more productively than any other people in the history of humanity notwithstanding the insufferible legislation that undermines that. Your generalizations about work must take into account productivity.

As for the other generalizations - they apply to probably every ethnic group in the world. And family values? Killing and abandoning millions of you progeny do not make for "family values."

Not a matter of admiration, just an observation...

I do find it funny that an entire nation, which turmpets it's modernity and technological advancement on a daily basis, still eats with wooden sticks.

But then nearly everyone works harder than most Americans...

This is demonstrably untrue. Europeons, and especially the French, are total loafers by comparison.

Little early to be drinking so heavily and puffing on that crack pipe, isn't it? Maybe you should take another nap...

Their food.

"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.

[WhiteGuy]

My #1 - Chinese girls have cute little butts!

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 -
