How China's Growing Nationalism Changes Views of the West

One or two decades, everyone in China was very critical of the Chinese government and admired the western countries especially US, now the whole situation had changed especially among young people, cause now hundreds of millions Chinese, mostly young people, are able to study or travel abroad regularly and experience the western culture and their governance first hand. After first hand personal comparison, they realize how wonderful Chinese system works.
 
How China's Growing Nationalism Changes Views of the West
More like a toxic cocktail mix of 50 percent nationalism, 30 percent traditional racism and 20 percent anti west/east sentiment. Well, you call it chinese peaceful rise.

Nobody is forcing you to go/study abroad, leaving the high walls, self imposed isolation. Pls stay at home in your wonderful chinese system. Don’t blame others that the world is bad because you see it first hand.

More like some Vietnamese :lol:
There are certainly nationalists among Vietnamese but you will seldom meet anyone with a mix of nationalist, racist and hates everything from the West.

The Chinese government loves to send people to travel or study abroad, cause that's the best way for the people to appreciate China, much better and more effective than any planned patriotic education.

Not sure if it is comparable, but China today is a little bit similar to Germany in 1920. They start feeling that they are superior than others (with the non-precedent achievement of China in modern history, of course the Chinese will have such feeling) but was mistreated and humiliated.

Sincerely hope that Chinese nationalism will not end up like Nazi.

Wow, so finnaly, u realize CN will get the same fate wt Nazi-Jap now??

If CN can take control of SCS ( east VN sea), then she may defeat US in trade war, but they cant. Both US and Russia r there to stop CN.

So,CN is just like Nazi-Jap, Russia-US will bring CN to the collapse.

China nation is never a war like one, our culture is always economic and development based throught our history, that's why all Chinese dynasties tended to build walls to protect them from what they called foreign barbarians, China just doesn't have the cultural and ideological base to become a Nazi Germany.

If you ask me, it’s a waste of time and money. Let’s say a young chinese studies at Chicago business school. He/she spends $100,000 alone for school fee. Excluding extra money is necessary for visa, housing, food and sex party. What’s the point for giving all then returning to motherland China just wanting to taste the West is evil?

It’s cheaper if you make some nice propaganda movies instead, similar to anti Japanese movies you produce en masse at home.

Chinese members on PDF tend to be more nationalistic than general populace, and there are plenty of nay sayers on Chinese social media actively opposing anything and everything that CPC does. So no, Chinese nationalism is nowhere near as high as you have read here, and Chinese are not about to match out and conquer the world.

International networking students develop at overseas studies is IMPORTANT.
Being able to gauge 1st hand how they fare against the elites of various nations help build realistic appraisals of themselves.
Decades ago, Asians were led to believe Europeans were superior but on having close working relations with them have found it not to be true.
The Western powers took pains for decades to conceal the fact that many of their achievements were aided by the Chinese.

The Chinese Birdman Who Got US Aircraft Giant Boeing Flying
It isn't well known outside aviation circles that the first engineer at U.S. aircraft maker Boeing almost a century ago was a man from China, Wong Tsu
Mr. Wong’s(Wang Tsu) hiring by Boeing produced almost immediate results.


Gary Locke, the Chinese-American former Washington governor and U.S. ambassador to China, recalled the engineer’s story and asked Mr. Xi to remember that there are "many engineers and machinists working at Boeing who are Chinese."

The Chinese Helped Build America
The story of the Chinese workers who had braved freezing winters and scorching summers to lay the rail infrastructure of the nation went missing, for the most part, from the stories the country told about itself.

The Chinese contributed not just brawn but also brains and skill. The journal noted that the Chinese were especially clever in aligning roads and could “strike a truer line for a longer distance with the unassisted eye than most white men can with the aid of instruments.” Chinese supervisors, who spoke English, were “very intelligent men” and showed “an extensive acquaintance with railroad matters.”

All these contributions by the Chinese to the world are coming to light only recently.
Many go unreported or the Chinese contributions were not credited to them.
One example would be Chinese contribution to WW1

World War I: 100 Years Later
The Surprisingly Important Role China Played in WWI

The Chinese have started to reclaim their prominent place in the world.
Knowing how DUMB the Whites are 1st hand at Western Elite Universities relative to themselves gives them more confidence.
The Chinese were not bombing and murdering left right center like the Nazis and now the US during their glorious past.

Chinese Gaokao is very difficult, not every test taker can land a spot in a Chinese university, so if you or your family has money, you can skip Gaokao and go to study in a foreign college, a win win for both the government and the students whose school sores are not that good.

Of course China is more civilized and mature nation compared to Germany and it can see the future better.

Lets hope for the best Nationalism is good if it is controlled, but too much of it can cause havoc.
