Hello Everyone
I've been reading this forum for the past 2 months and now I joined. I react to people calling china things like ''The worst country ever'', ''Copy cats'' and stuff like that. I am a native Norwegian, but I have lived in China for 7 years. (currently I am in Norway) Things the western media tell you about China are not always true. (Some is, though very little) We have nothing to fear, we westerners are just to connected to American culture. If we get to know Chinese culture better, we might understand.
I live in the richest, most political stable, peacefullest country in the world, (You can argue with that, but that's not the point) but still I would rather live in China. I am Norwegian, but in this forum I have come to defend my second home country.
So before you start communism bashing. Think. I saw a guy in Lijiang selling T-shirts that said Chang Mai and Northern Thailand on them. The reason? ''They sell good'' he said. That's ultimate capitalism.
