      I think in many people’s heads China is this cheap backwater third world country.

      While there are problems over there such as tofu dregs, their production is very modern. But the Western world sees China through their tofu dregs.

        I’m from mainland China and I think most westerners believes two of the extremes:

        1. That China is very very poor, similar to North Korea. They probably think as if its still Qing Dynasty or something.

        Nope its nowhere near that bad.

        Or

        1. China is so ahead of everyone, so futuristic and completely crime free.

        Nope, also not true.

        The truth is somewhere in between.
