The Committee of 100 survey that I have mentioned here in the past asked the question of American opinion leaders -
Americans were asked -
What are the most admirable traits of the Chinese and their culture?
9. One in 25 people said the Chinese are friendly - 4% (uh, perhaps they should smile more?)
8. Intelligent - 7%. This one surprised me. Most of my Chinese friends are ten times smarter than me.
7. Disciplined - 8% When it's time, it's time.
6. The Food! - 9% - Nearly one in ten Americans think the Chinese have the market on good food. They should try my mother-in-law's cooking.
5. One in ten said the Arts - I remember my first trip to China. I understood nothing when I watched the TV but I didn't need to understand the commentary because the visual presentation was sooo beautiful. I am sure that I am not the only one looking forward to the 2008 ceremonies.






UNDERSTAND MOST AMERICANS KNOW LITTLE ABOUT CHINA.
