Most Chinese know very little about the Western world, with the exception of the propaganda they are fed in school. How many Chinese know, for example, that 90+ per cent of the things they see and touch on a daily basis were designed or invented in the West, up to and including their hairstyles, their clothing, electricity, the republican form of government, communism, trains, eyeglasses, asphalt streets, and so on? In fact, most Chinese know very little about Chinese history, apart from the propaganda they are fed about how poor little China (the third largest country in the world) was bullied by foreign powers, while portraying China's thousands of years of empire-building either as barbarian pacification efforts or as attempts to civilize the natives.
well,how long have you been away from CHina now?
it seems that you are somewhat strange to mainland china today!
yes,I agree that CHinese government still keeps hawking its propaganda in textbooks and it offical medias....
but I doubt CHinese people,especially educated youth ,are ready to accept the offical report directly,when they can get more and more informantion and education..... In fact, I am one exact example...
In fact, Chinese today defy and doubt any the “big medias”,including Chinese government’s CCTV and CNN in USA....
TO Chinese people like me, CNN and CCTV are just two sides of one coin.both are full of prejudices and lies......
