In Germany, well i think in most of Europe, there is a lot of critizism about China when it's about human rights (work conditions, the way to treat people with a political opinion that doesn't agree with the state's opinion, the way to deal with different ethnicities in China...and such). Even though from a Western point of view all these points are truely open to critique, i always think a strong anti-China opinion is often very hypocritical because most of these countries profite from the working conditions in China by being able to produce goods cheaply. Most people happily buy cheaply produced goods from China because of their low prices and still think they can badmouth China. To me this seems to be a quite hypocritcal "holier than thou"-attitude. As for my opinion, i'm also worried about the way China treats human rights. Yet, i am amazed at what China achieved over the last 20 years (especially in the big cities) and one gets humbled by the ancient cultural and political history of China. Also, whenever i got to know chinese students who were studying in Germany i never got a bad impression. Most were all very nice, open minded and interesting people and especially those who studied german culture often knew more about Germany than myself. The news that we get here in Germany can really get you worried about China sometimes, but just judging by the chinese people i met so far i really want to go to China some time and experience it for myself.

I don't like communist country.

Worst place in the world!

China manages to combine the worst aspects of communism and capitalism: a nasty place, run by thugs, who won't even allow it's miserable, overworked citizens to use the internet freely.

I found the people very friendly and eager to practice their English when I travelled there.I just loved the dumplings and the Terracotta Warriors.
