'In China, Indians are perceived as enemies'

[ChineseTiger1986]

When an Indian boy goes to a Chinese village, people think that he may be an evil person. So they don't really pay attention to what he might be saying or wearing but rather keep wondering about what he may be thinking.

I thought that was true of Chinese everywhere. I suppose that may be because the written language is ideographic rather than alphabetical...

He may indeed view as a foreigner, but not evil anyway.

And why you guys always love to interpret the Chinese people with your own prejudice?

LOL, since when did anybody refer to a new arrival as an "evil person"? The word evil implies that you know them well enough to judge their character.

That doesn't even make sense.

Yep, China is not Russia, where the foreigners wouldn't have the gut to walk on the street at night.

I wasn't referring to the "evil person" bit. I was referring to the fact that often when I'm talking to a Chinese person he or she is trying to decipher what I am thinking rather than what I am saying.

What I am thinking about, of course, is about the impression my words are making on my listener. But since my "listener" isn't listening to my words I'm not getting any feedback, which means my "listener" is reaching for empty air. Then I have to start over again from the beginning...it doesn't make for easy communication, you see.
